Your body is as unique as you are there is no set “dose” or “recommended” amount to use. There is however a great place to start and that is around 10-grams per day. This is 2 teaspoons or one dessertspoon. You don’t need to be precise on your measurements because Chia seeds are a food.
Your body type and the reasons why you use Chia seeds will determine how much you should consume in order to feel the many benefits from using the right amount. We will list below some of the benefits and what to look for to be sure you are eating enough in your diet.
First we’ll talk about body types:
Your metabolism rate will determine how soon you feel the benefits of Chianergy seeds.
- Fast metabolism should feel a difference in 10 to 15 days or even much sooner in some cases. (first week)
- Slow metabolism can take 3 to 4 weeks to feel the benefits.
If you are a person that already eats healthy then the 10 grams should be enough for you to feel the benefits of all the nutrition in Chia seeds. Judging from your metabolism rate above add more by half measures (5 grams or 1 teaspoon) if you don’t feel any of the noticeable benefits listed below.
If you are an “on the go” person and can’t always eat right then the 10 grams in the morning and another 10 grams in a 500ml (16oz) bottle of water or juice to drink through the day will be very beneficial.
Some of the reasons for using Chia Seeds:
Chia seeds are the highest source of the essential fatty acid OMEGA 3, which makes them a high anti-inflammatory source. One of the many reasons is the aches and pains of getting older or old injuries and of course with the pain associated with arthritis. Other ailments that benefit from high OMEGA 3 are, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, eczema, psoriasis, Crohn’s disease and many more. Chia’s high fibre content is also great for constipation especially that associated with the side affect of medications.
Chia seeds are not a cure for any disease however they are a highly nutritional food that helps us to maintain not only our good health but also many ailments and diseases we suffer from.
Energy is a main concern for many of us these days with long hours at work and not enough time spent with our loved ones and friends due to lack of energy which in turn leads to a lack of motivation. The nutrition in Chia seeds gives us more energy during the day and more importantly at the end of the day when we need it the most. This is not jumping out of your skin type energy like you would associate with caffeine however you just won’t be as tired as you use to be.
If you are breathing then you should be using Chia seeds as part of your diet everyday. We all need to consume more OMEGA 3 from the foods we eat and sadly it has been depleted from many of our food sources and our health is what suffers from this imbalance. When we eat more OMEGA 3 our body thanks us by feeling GREAT and just using Chia seeds will put you back in balance.

- More energy

- You feel GREAT!
- Mood changes for the better
- You feel happier & Healthier
