Chia seeds are high in fiber and low in digestible carbs, making them quite suitable for people with diabetes. As a matter of fact, 11 of the 12 grams of carbs in a 28-gram (1-oz) serving of chia seeds is fiber, which can slow down the absorption rate of food in your system thus lowering your blood sugar levels for real.
More than that, fiber can help you stay satiated and reduce the number of calories you absorb, thus maintaining a healthy weight.
Chia seeds have also been proven to reduce inflammatory markers, so don’t hesitate to sprinkle some over breakfast or salads, use them in baking or in a dessert.
