Recently, a lot of people interested in Japan full abdomen sugar, but there only 8 in a packet, and very expensive. Eat one of it has a little effect, and had to drink to be useful, in fact, the main component in the sugar is chia seed. The repository of sugar works, also because there are containing chia seed, because of Japanese does not produce this thing, it need to import from the American, so it is very expensive.

The gel capability due to the chia seed rich in soluble cellulose. Researchers believe that when the food containing this soluble cellulose called mucilages enter the stomach, also occurred in the same gel reaction. Thus, chia seed into the stomach resulting gel in their carbohydrate and gastric secretion of digestive enzymes produced between a physical barrier, thus delaying the process of polysaccharide degrading as monosaccharides digestive.

The above characteristics in addition to keep blood sugar steady ( is conducive to the prevention and control of diabetes mellitus ) this obviously benefits, but also because of the slowing down of polysaccharide degradation into monosaccharides brought high speed of another advantage. Carbohydrates are our body fuel, delay the degradation of monosaccharides make our body metabolism change more stable, so the blood glucose peaks reduce after eating, over a longer period is more effective for energy conversion.
