The Heart
Chia seeds are a heart healthy food. Modern times have found us heading to fast food restaurants and ingesting high fat foods with low nutritional value. Thus, it is more essential than ever to identify additional sources of Omega–3's.

Chia seeds have a vasodilatory effect as it increases the size of the arteries, which is why they may lead to the lowering of blood pressure. However, with all of their benefits we want to caution individuals to continue with their blood pressure recommendations prescribed by their physicians.
Weight benefits
There are very few people these days who do not struggle with their weight. Chia seeds help with weight management, as they will help you to feel full for longer stretches. They are so nutrient-dense that you would need to ingest approximately 6 times the calories of chia seeds to equal the same nutritional benefits. Chia seeds have an exceptionally high level of Tryptophan, which is an amino acid that naturally suppress appetite and helps to reduce hunger pangs.
Gastro-intestinal health
There has been much research recently by UC Berkeley. Based on their findings, t is believed that because chia seeds are a hydrophilic colloid with unique soluble fiber characteristics they assist creating a lining or physical barrier that aids in digestion, heartburn and sour stomach conditions. Chia seeds, when combined with water or another liquid, may aid in slowing and the absorbtion of sugar. It is believed that Chia seeds may even help to reduce cholesterol in the body.

When cells are not properly regenerated or damaged cells are replicated, the aging process begins. Humans build up toxins in their bodies. Chia seeds helps by fighting the free radical damage. The seeds helps to flush out such toxins, which in turn promote healthy skin elasticity. and hair, skin and nails are rejuvenated. Joints are lubricated. This is important as pain leads to premature againg as well. Eating chia seeds helps to reduce muscles soreness and lowers lactic acid buildup in muscles

Bone Health
Chia seeds contains six times more calcium than milk per serving. The seeds are is a rich in essential minerals as phosphorous, magnesium and iron, which all support the absorption and utilization of calcium by the body.
Mental Health
I have researched and written very detailed information about the brain. Many people forget about the need for proper nutrition for the brain.The International Journal of Clinical Practice in accordance with research from Harvard has linked low levels of Omega–3's in the body with mood disorders. Omega–3 foods are believed to help to keep the brain's pattern of thoughts, reflexes and reactions running at optimal paces.
Because chia seeds contains essential amino acids, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals including folate (folic acid), it would make sense that chia seeds may be beneficial in fetal development. However, it must be noted that chia seeds do not replace prenatal vitamins or other recommended supplements. Chia seeds are healthy for breast tissue and the prostrate for men. They are also good for seniors since they are so nutrient dense.
Although I personally believe in the benefits of chia seeds, I caution all that as with any exercise program or the administering of any nutritional supplements, please contact your physician and heed their advice prior to participating in any programs before you proceed.
