*** Today's Tip: WHAT ARE CHIA SEEDS?
When you hear the word chia perhaps the first thing that comes to mind
are those popular little clay figurines with grass-like fur? Chia
seeds actually come from the same flowering plant as the Chia Pet, but
these little seeds have recently gained attention for being a
nutritional powerhouse. They are an excellent source of fiber and
omega-3 fatty acids and contain calcium, manganese and phosphorus.
Emerging research suggests that including chia seeds as part of a
healthful diet may help lower cholesterol, triglycerides and blood
pressure. Try sprinkling ground or whole chia seeds on cereal, rice,
yogurt or mix with vegetables.
