Notes
- CHIA SEEDS are boosting with omega-3 fatty acids which are beneficial for our precious heart and our clever brain. They help with weight loss due to their high content in protein and dietary fiber. On top, they are a good source of necessary minerals as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. They prevent us from looking old too early, as they are loaded with antioxidants, which can help us to prevent a premature aging process.
