  1. Why Are Chia Seeds Considered a Superfood in Naturopathy Dr. Jordan Atkinson B.Sc. ND

  2. Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids Chia seeds are packed with alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid essential for heart and brain health. Naturopaths often recommend chia seeds to support cardiovascular wellness and reduce inflammation naturally. High in Fiber Chia seeds, with nearly 10 grams of fibre per ounce, promote digestive health and regularity. The soluble fibre in chia forms a gel- like substance, aiding in blood sugar stabilization and providing a feeling of fullness, which is beneficial for weight management.

  3. Complete Protein Source Chia seeds contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein. This makes them an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans looking to meet their protein needs naturally. Abundant in Antioxidants Chia seeds are loaded with antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and protect the body from free radical damage. This property supports cellular health and slows signs of aging.

  4. Calcium and Bone Health A single serving of chia seeds provides a food fraction of the daily recommended calcium intake, making them an excellent alternative for those who avoid dairy. Naturopaths value their role in maintaining strong bones and teeth. Energy Boosting Properties Chia seeds are a natural energy booster. They offer a combination of carbs, protein, and healthy fats, providing sustained energy and making them a favourite among naturopaths for athletes and active individuals.
