The history of Chia dates back to thousands of years ago. Back in 3500 BC, Chia was being used by the Aztecs and flourished as a cash crop in Central Mexico between 1500 and 900 BC. Chia was also harvested in the Valley of Mexico between 2600 and 2000 B.C. by the Teotihuacan and Toltec civilizations. It was definitely a part of the staple diet of the Aztec civilization. The native Americans recognized the medicinal values of Chia. They used it as raw material for medicines and nutritional compounds. It was also drunk as a beverage by mixing with water, and offered to the gods during religious rituals. However, the Spanish conquerors suppressed the cultivation of Chia due to their association with religion, and consequently, Chia remained relegated to a few pockets of Mexico for the past 500 years. It was only in the early 1990s that group of American and south American scientists, nutritionists and agriculturalists began collaborating in commercial production of Chia in Argentina. They expected to rediscover the lost nutritional plants in the Aztec tradition and civilizations.

Chia Seeds as weight loss supplement

Chia seeds contain dietary fiber, including both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber gives chia seeds their gel-like quality when mixed with liquid. They can absorb up to 10 times their weight in water, which causes them to form a bulky gel. This gel not only acts as an appetite suppressant, but also slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream and therefore prevents blood sugar spikes.

A 2010 study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that chia seed supplementation reduced appetite and increasing feelings of satiety in participants. This study suggests that chia seeds can support weight loss goals by providing a sense of fullness. Thanks to the combination of insoluble and soluble fiber in chia seeds, you will not be craving unhealthy snacks that can adversely affect your diet.

Another popular way to enjoy chia seeds is in a delicious chia pudding. Chia seeds can also be added to smoothies, and mixed in yogurt or hot cereal for a super nutrient boost. Chia seeds can even be tossed in baked goods like cupcakes and energy bars. Jam is also a great way to spread the benefits of chia seeds over toast, cupcakes, and other baked goods.
