Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Therefore, eating these seeds helps in reducing cholesterol levels, improving cognitive performance and reducing inflammation in the body. Chia seeds are also high in antioxidants and contain trace minerals as well. Some of the minerals included in chia seeds are calcium, manganese and magnesium. All these minerals help in energy metabolism and preventing hypertension. Blood oranges are packed with important nutrients like folic acid and vitamin C. While folic acid is required for fighting against various heart diseases and cancers, vitamin C assists in a number of metabolic functions in the body.
