Health benefits of the different ingredients

Buckwheat

This is a super healthy alternative to overnight oats. Despite the name it is not related to wheat and therefore gluten-free. Buckwheat is anti-inflammatory and consuming it has several health benefits, including improved blood sugar control and heart health. Buckwheat is a carbohydrate with low GI (glycemic index) which means it will not cause unhealthy bloodsugar spikes.

Buckwheat is rich in antioxidants and minerals and contains beneficial plant compounds like rutin, quercetin, vitexin, and D-chiro-inositol.

It’s a good source of resistant starch which is the main source for the production of ‘intestine-sealing’ and anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), mainly butyric acid. They work as nutrition for the cells lining your colon, improving gut health. Daily consumption of 15 – 30 grams is recommended.

Chia seeds

Chia seeds are highly nutritious and high in antioxidants. They contain fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds are also high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and ALA which all supports improved bone mineral density.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon has been used for centuries for both its medicinal properties and its flavour. Choose Ceylon cinnamon instead of Cassia as it has been identified as superior in beneficial active compound composition.

Cinnamon is known to reduce the risk of cancers, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. It has the ability to increase insulin sensitivity and therefore reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. It is anti-inflammatory and has antimicrobial properties.
