Benefits of Chia Seeds| The Best Way to Eat Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are tiny, yet mighty superfoods that have gained popularity in recent years due to their numerous health benefits. These nutrient-dense seeds are packed with fiber, protein, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them an excellent addition to a healthy diet.

In this video, Dr. Anshul Gupta discusses the various health benefits of Chia Seeds and also talks about the best way to eat them, in ways that enable us to harness all the wonderful health benefits of this super seed. Watch the video to learn more.

    If you don’t strain out the water after soaking (and how could you because it will have gelled up) then aren’t you still consuming the lectins? And if soaking them in water somehow negates the lectins, wouldn’t simply soaking them in milk or Flaxmilk or Almond milk do the same?

    important: add water every time you eat chia seeds, as they can stick in the throat and cause serious problems. this should have been mentioned. also, the photo of them on top of the dessert can be misleading as they are not lubricated.
