Although they are safe for most people, chia seeds may cause an increased risk of choking. This is because they absorb so much water, so if you have trouble swallowing you need to be careful.Chia seeds are generally considered safe to eat, and few to no adverse effects have been reported from consuming them ( 59). One 4-week weight loss study on high protein diets and overweight people found that high-protein diets resulted in more weight loss than a low-protein diet. 7 Human studies show that bread made with chia seeds causes a reduced blood sugar response compared with more traditional breads ( 52, 53).

Two tablespoons of chia seeds (1 ounce or 28 grams) contain about 140 calories, 4 grams of protein, 11 grams of fiber, 7 grams of unsaturated fat, 18% RDA for calcium, and trace minerals including zinc and copper. They are the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds are a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that cannot be made by the body. [2] Chia Seeds and Health Chia seeds are generally well-tolerated and can easily enhance the nutritional value of so many dishes. So, it make sure you have a pot in your kitchen cupboard!

Chia seed oil has natural antioxidants such as tocopherols, phytosterols, carotenoids and phenolic compounds which makes the oil quite stable against its high PUFA content. There's a great interest in natural antioxidants that have protective effect against the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species damages ( Martínez-Cruz & Paredes-López, 2014; Taga, Miller, & Pratt, 1984). A single ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds provides 9.75 grams of fiber, which is 25% and 39% of the RDI for men and women, respectively ( 5).Adams JD, Wang R, Yang J, Lien EJ.
