Change Your Life With ChiaCurb Snacking

imagesChia seeds are super high in soluble fiber which, in addition to filling you up, has cholesterol-lowering properties and prevents the absorption of fat. Try stirring two tablespoons of “whole” or “raw” chia seeds into a glass of water and wait a few minutes, drinking them down before the seeds absorb the water and get hard. It’ll curb your mid-day cravings!

Sleep Better

Chia Seeds contain the sleep-inducing amino acid tryptophan, which raises melatonin and serotonin levels and helps promote stable sleep. With more than twice the tryptophan of turkey, you’ll need just 2 ounces of chia seeds to help you snooze.
