\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chia is a seed originating in Mexico that was widely used by ancient civilizations, especially by those who needed strength and physical resistance. The word chia means strength.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The seed is rich in omega 3 and also has fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium and protein.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In addition to helping you lose weight, chia helps reduce cholesterol, controls blood sugar, helps with bone formation and improves the body's immunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But how can this seed help in the weight loss process? Well, it provides greater satiety, as it is rich in fiber, so when the seed comes into contact with water, a gel forms in the stomach, this makes the digestion process slower, so the individual will feel satisfied with smaller portions of food. Furthermore, fiber regulates intestinal transit and helps cleanse the body, thus occurring the detoxification process. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the market it is found in three versions:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 As a grain, you can mix a tablespoon with your favorite fruit. Average price: between R$ 18.00 and 22.00 reais (250g).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 As an oil, where it can be used in salads, it is recommended to use a tablespoon regardless of the amount of leaves present in the salad, however in the oil version we do not have the benefit of fiber. Average price: between R$30.00 and 70.00 reais (250 ml). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 As flour, the recommendation is to add a tablespoon to yogurts and smoothies. Average price: between R$ 17.00 and 21.50 reais (200g).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Regardless of the form chosen, chia should be consumed half an hour before two main meals, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The seed can also be used to prepare juices, soups, shakes, smoothies, yogurt and fruit salads. According to Fl\u00e1via Morais in an interview with the Shape Magazine website (www.revistashape.uol.com.br<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>), chia replaces the egg in recipes, for 1 large egg you need to use 1 tablespoon of crushed chia, and mix it with 1\/4 cup (tea) of water. Just let the ingredients soak for 5 minutes until they form a gel and use it in the preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is extremely important to highlight that if the seed is ingested in greater quantities than recommended, you may gain weight instead of losing it. To obtain a faster result, it is interesting, together with the seed, to follow a balanced diet, without excesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 See how simple it is to make a healthy sweet using seeds:<\/span><\/p>\n
