Are you looking in the mirror saying to yourself, “I have got to do something about this increasing waistline!”

    Well, guess what! The Chia Seed can help you help yourself!                                       In His Word we are called to Love others as we Love ourselves. The thing about that is: You do have to cultivate the Love of yourself, In positive healthy ways. A proven fact is:  how you see yourself does result in how you Love yourself. That said, here’s some seeds I am planting in the mind, to get you started on decreasing that belly fat.

Chia (Salvia hispanica) is a species of flowering plant in the mint family cultivated for their seeds and their huge nutritional profile. These little seeds are a known good source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, calcium, phosphorus, and manganese. Filled with positive health effects they are a great diet aid; boosting energy, stabilizing blood sugar, aiding digestion, and lowering cholesterol. Based on these benefits they aid with Diabetes slowing digestion and preventing sugar spikes which also results in the Fight of Belly Fat!

Chia’s stabilizing effect on blood sugar fights insulin increase which is tied to an increase in dreaded belly fat.

How do you add them to your diet?         

 “The easiest way is to add it to everything and anything and watch the change in your desire to snack,” The seeds are tasteless so they won’t affect the flavor of your food, which makes them easy to integrate into your meals. They can be sprinkled whole on top of salads or toast or added milled to smoothies, and some people even add them to ice cream. I say, try flourless pancakes (no sugar)  made with Oatmeal and of course: Chi Chi Chi Chia Seeds! Two medium size pancakes fill me up & I don’t even want to snack before the lunch hour.            You can goggle for various recipes of pancake recipes.

Enjoy!
