<\/span><\/span>What are Omega-3s?<\/span><\/h2>
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Omega-3s are a polyunsaturated fat and considered an essential fatty acid because they cannot be manufactured by the body.\u00a0 We must consume foods high in Omega-3s to balance our intake of Omega-6 and Omega-9, which the western diet tends to exaggerate.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]

<\/span><\/span>Dietary Fiber<\/span><\/h2>
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Chia seeds<\/a> have both soluble and insoluble fiber, which can aid in digestion.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]

<\/span><\/span>Complete Protein<\/span><\/h2>
