How does this chia pudding recipe help to balance blood sugar and support hormone balance


Blueberries may have benefits for your heart and brain health. They are a member of the heather family. These small but mighty berries have so many incredible health benefits that they are often called a 'superfood'. Blueberries are packed with fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are a low sugar fruit that won't cause a blood sugar spike, as they are both low GI (glycaemic index) and low GL (glycaemic load). A study in 2010 found that the bio-actives in blueberries may even improve insulin sensitivity.


Chia seeds are highly nutritious tiny black and white seeds that become gelatinous and increase in size when soaked in liquid. They are high in soluble fibre, protein and healthy fats called omega 3 fatty acids, which can lower the risk of heart disease. Like blueberries, chia seeds are a great source of fibre which supports gut health and antioxidants that have numerous health benefits. A study in 2017 found that chia seeds may benefit people who are trying to lose weight by reducing short-term food intake.
