This chia coconut pudding is loaded with soluble fibre to help stimulate cleansing and infuse your body with essential nutrients. In fact, just two tablespoons of chia seeds contain about 9 grams of fibre.
Chia seeds are also loaded with brain-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, vitamin C, manganese, phosphorous, magnesium and protein. This makes chia seeds an excellent food to support the healthy activity of your body and its natural detox ability. In fact, omega-3 fatty acids are great for restoring and regenerating the cells in our body, especially the ones in our brain. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory, so it helps get rid of the triggers that would normally contribute to chronic disease.
The fibre in chia seeds help accelerate metabolism and cleanse toxins, waste and excess cholesterol, helping your colon flush them out and lowering your risk of chronic disease.
If our digestive tract is backed up with toxic waste matter as a result of a Standard American Diet, we aren’t going to be feeling our best. With chia seeds incorporated into our diet, we can easily get things moving and push out waste from our intestinal tract that has been sitting there for years.
