ChiaOkay, if you start to see people walking around with green, grassy-looking afros — don’t worry, instead of growing their Chia Pets – they’re eating them.

I thought my dad was nuts when he told me that he was going to buy some Chia to sprinkle on his salad.

He said he found the information about the benefits of eating Chia seeds on RealAge.com.

After doing some reading, I found that some of the benefits from eating Chia seeds include:

  • Increases Energy Levels
  • Improves Cardiovascular Health
  • Stabilizes Blood Sugar
  • Boosts Brain Power
  • Supports Immune Function
  • Assists Elimination and Detoxification

So, if you got too many chia pets for Christmas – start eating them.
