This may not be the most appetizing breakfast you've ever seen, but your body will certainly appreciate you consuming one.
The popularity of chia seeds as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acid has increased. In addition, they are an excellent source of dietary fiber, protein, minerals, and potent antioxidants. Eating foods abundant in antioxidants may reduce the risk of developing numerous health conditions associated with free radicals, such as heart disease, cognitive decline, and certain forms of cancer. Fiber content is abundant in chia seeds. According to studies, fiber may reduce insulin resistance and enhance blood sugar levels, thereby lowering the risk of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. A 1-ounce serving of chia seeds contains 39% of the daily value for fiber. The soluble fiber in the seeds absorbs water, causing them to swell in the intestines and increase satiety. By making you feel fuller despite consuming less, chia seeds can aid in weight maintenance. Magnesium and phosphorus are among the nutrients in chia seeds that are essential for bone health. Additionally, one ounce of the seeds contains 18% of the recommended daily allowance of calcium, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones, muscles, and nerves. Comparatively, chia seeds contain more calcium per gram than dairy products.
Matcha tea is a green tea variety. Due to its antioxidant content, it may be beneficial for your heart, weight, and other health factors. It is also simple to include in your diet. Matcha is widely available in health food stores and coffee establishments as shots, lattes, teas, and desserts. Studies on matcha and its constituents have uncovered a variety of health benefits, including liver protection, improved cognitive function, heart health, and weight loss.
