Chia seeds are an excellent source of nutrition, packed with fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and various essential minerals. Here are some ways to get the maximum health benefit from chia seeds:
- Soak them: Soaking chia seeds in water or any liquid for a few hours or overnight can help increase their nutritional value.

The difference could hardly be more poignant.

Iodine is directly related to the endocrine system (the hormone system). It supports our thyroid function, hormonal health, adrenal glands and .......
This critical function is regulated by your thyroid and your digestive health. It's hard to say which is more important. If you have been exposed to too many products that have hormone disrupters, your thyroid function will diminish.
