The Chia seeds are a herbaceous plant native to southern Mexico and Guatemala. They have many nutritional and medicinal uses because they contain fibers, minerals and vitamins. These components have a significant impact on insulin resistance, which is considered a source of risk for many diseases, most notably type 2 diabetes. High levels of triglycerides. It is considered a source of danger for many diseases, the most important of which is heart disease. This study aims to evaluate the effect of consuming chia seeds on parameters of insulin resistance and triglyceride levels in individuals who suffer from insulin resistance. The study also examines whether there is a difference in the responses of women and men. as well as does the effect of chia seeds differ according to activity? The study included 100 people, 60 men with insulin resistance, 20 of whom walk for at least half an hour daily, and 40 women, 15 of whom walk for at least half an hour daily. They were all directed to take chia seeds for 45 days at a rate of one tablespoon after soaking them in water for a period of no less than an hour. The study showed a clear decrease in the level of insulin resistance in all men, as it decreased by 38.37%, and at a higher rate in men who were active by 41.47%, while the percentage decreased in women to a lesser extent than men, but also showed a decrease by 16.82%, and at a higher rate in women who practice walking by 19.35%. in conclusion The results of this study demonstrate a significant reduction in insulin resistance among both men and women, with a more pronounced effect in individuals who engage in physical activity. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Good Health).
