Chia seeds are a nutrient-dense food that can benefit the skin, hair and overall health in many ways when consumed as part of a healthy breakfast. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce inflammation and protect against skin damage from UV radiation. Chia seeds are also a good source of antioxidants, such as vitamin E, which can help to protect the skin from free radical damage and slow down the ageing process. In addition, chia seeds contain high levels of fiber and protein, which can help to support healthy digestion and keep blood sugar levels stable, reducing the risk of skin issues related to insulin resistance. All of these factors make chia seeds a great addition to a nutritious breakfast for healthier and glowing skin. Here are top 10 Chia Seed Breakfast Smoothies you could try for breakfast –
