Chia see is a brilliant visceral fat-fighting food. Bursting with Omega 3, fibre and antioxidants – these tiny little seeds could hold the key to reducing your visceral fat levels and giving you a new lease on life.

 

Chia is also incredibly versatile – chuck it in smoothies, stir it into your porridge, sprinkle it on yoghurt – the possibilities are endless. This recipe for Chia and herb crusted salmon is a current favourite in the Sportsister office.
