They are also associated with brain health and cognitive function. Sources of omega-3 fats include the oils from plants, fish and nuts, including hemp seeds, which are technically nuts.

Chia seeds may also help reduce blood sugar. A couple of studies have shown that whole and ground chia seeds are equally effective for reducing blood sugar immediately after a meal.Hong H et al.
