A Fashion Blogger Approved Power Food: Chia Seeds

Summer is still here to stay for a few months so it is not too late to try to eat healthy! Get that summer body or just try to start a healthier lifestyle. Although, they are not proved to link to a great amount of weight loss they can help your body become healthier.

So for the past two months I have been putting them in my smoothies, water, and in my oatmeal. I did lose about 3 pounds, and I can say that they do help you feel fuller for a while. The seeds kind of create a type of gelatin when placed in water or another liquid.

Chia seeds also really help with heart health and also really help to reverse diabetes among other sicknesses.
