Six seeds for your diet that you should include

Long before multivitamins existed, the earth already had something similar. Similar in size but of natural origin, seeds and nuts contain a plethora of vitamins and minerals. Due to their origin, they are easier to digest and precisely because they are tiny, they can be easily added to any recipe: sprinkled on a salad, blended into a smoothie, or inside your next cake recipe. If you are looking to add more protein, fiber, or minerals to your diet, don’t miss the opportunity to include any of these seeds in your next meal. Chia: In addition to being an extraordinary source of fiber, it contains omega-3 fatty acids, which help protect your heart. Because of its tiny size and flavor, you can add it to everything: yogurt, salads, soups, pancake batter... the possibilities are endless. Coconut: We know that it is neither a nut nor a seed but the fruit of a palm tree; however, it has so many health properties that we had to include it in the list. It doesn’t matter if you consume the flesh, the water, or as oil, coconut is an extraordinary source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Additionally, it is a good source of calcium, potassium, and magnesium, as well as electrolytes, making its consumption before and after exercising highly recommended. Hemp: Known in Spanish as cáñamo, this seed provides 3 grams of protein per tablespoon. So if you are vegetarian or want to increase your daily protein intake, they are an extraordinary ingredient for your next dish. You can add them to both savory and sweet foods as their flavor is very similar to sunflower seeds. Soy: It contains calcium, iron, and vitamin B12, which helps you maintain healthy bones and teeth. The easiest way to incorporate it into your diet is in the form of a drink like Ades, a soy beverage. Ades is a good source of protein as it contains about 7 grams of protein per cup. You can drink it in coffee, with your favorite cereal, to prepare smoothies, and to replace cow's milk in all your recipes. Moreover, as it is soy-based, it contains no lactose or cholesterol, making it suitable for everyone in the family. Pumpkin Seeds: They contain iron and magnesium. You can roast them and add them to your salads for a crunchy touch. Ground, they can be used to bread chicken or fish. Almonds: Almonds are nuts that contain fats that are beneficial for the body, fiber, protein, magnesium, and vitamin E. Including them in your diet helps lower blood sugar levels, reduce blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Additionally, they help you maintain a feeling of fullness throughout the day.
