Anti-Inflammatory

Inflammation is your body's normal response to infection or injury and can also be caused by certain unhealthy lifestyle habits including poor diet, smoking, and not exercising. While it is a natural response and does help the body heal, long-term inflammation can lead to an increased risk of a variety of chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer.  Studies show that alpha-Linolenic (ALA), the omega-3 fat present in chia seeds is effective at decreasing inflammation which in turn decreases the risk for those chronic diseases.
