Chia Seed and Diabetes and Cardiovascular Health
Filed under advice
One of the most difficult diseases to live with is diabetes. This is a condition that will last the lifetime of the patient and will always need intensive monitoring and care. Modern science has yet to find a cure for diabetes and most patients must receive injections of insulin and follow a strict diet in order to maintain their health. While Chia Seeds are not a cure for diabetes, and this article is not in any way suggesting this, Chia Seeds, used with your regular diabetes medication can help to make you more healthy and comfortable.
As Chia Seeds are hydrophilic, they absorb water, up to thirty times their own weight. Chia seed gel is what is created when adding water to the seeds. When this happens, the processing of food through the body is slowed considerably. Absorption of food becomes more and regular, an important factor to diabetics. The fluctuations of blood sugar are evened out, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Chia Seed has also been found to help reduce insulin resistance, whereby the body becomes unable to use the insulin and higher levels are needed to achieve the same effects. As high blood pressure is another symptom of diabetes, it was found that eating several teaspoons of Chia Seeds helped to lower these readings.
Another great benefit to Chia Seeds is that they can help to alleviate several factors of heart disease and are thought to even be able to prevent it. High blood pressure is a major determining factor in the development of poor cardiovascular health. Chia Seeds, as noted above will help to reduce high blood pressure. The Omega-3 Fatty Acids found in Chia Seeds help in other ways to improve the health of your cardiovascular system.
As America’s population ages, cardiovascular problems will become more frequent. Many people will develop hardening of the arteries caused by the buildup of plaque in the veins and arteries. Chia Seeds have already been shown to help reduce this buildup, thanks to the seed’s high levels of Omega-3 Alpha Linolenic Acid. Keeping the arteries free of plaque will also help prevent strokes. Chia Seed will also help prevent or reduce cholesterol.
While more studies need to be done to further demonstrate the effect of Chia Seeds on diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it is encouraging to know that this natural food has such a positive effect on health. Remember, if you are suffering from diabetes or hearth disease, Chia Seeds are not a substitute for your regular medicine, you must continue to take that. Also, before beginning to supplement your diet with Chia Seed, please confer with your doctor, who should be made aware of any change in your diet.
