Chia seeds don’t want to be eaten

[tejmahal]

yes they are hard to digest as they have lots of fibre and that is the point of eating them

[alexkennedy]

Now put a steak in there and tell me if that dissolves in the water 😅

Chia seeds actually helped me when I was pregnant and constipated. I love chia seeds.

Do another experiment. This time with enzymes and stomach acid and see if you get the same results you did with water.

Chia is mostly fiber, so what he showed is exactly what Chia is supposed to do. Fiber feeds your good bacteria and slows down your digestion so that your body can absorb more nutrient and satiate you for longer.

Number 1 I use chia flax mix grounded. Number 2 2 teaspoons is more than enough for any smoothie or dish. Number 3 Don't over do it!

[Justinegallows]

Yeah it's called soluble fiber. Its very healthy and fermented in our colon which creates short chain fatty acids which have a number of benefits.

It does not constipate you. It keeps you regular.

No one is eating that many chia seeds in one sitting lol. Plus my grandparents in Mexico eat a lot of chia seeds.

[barrykhan]

that is much chia seeds for one glass 😂😂😂

[CaptainSwanEternity]

I eat them for the fiber and they help tons, plus they’re super easy to sprinkle on anything.

Fact check from chatGPT:Chia seeds are generally considered to be a healthy food and are known for their high fiber content. While some people may experience digestive issues after consuming chia seeds, such as bloating or constipation, these side effects are usually mild and not common.

It's important to note that chia seeds absorb water and form a gel-like substance when they are exposed to liquid, which can make them difficult to digest if they are not soaked or ground before consuming. To help with digestion, it's recommended to soak chia seeds in water or another liquid for at least 30 minutes before consuming.

If you have any concerns about including chia seeds in your diet, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional.

Love Chia thanks for the reminder to get some more, lol.

Please do an experiment where you put meat into water and see if it dissolves

[jmomlopez]

I have chia seeds every single morning in my protein shake along with fruit, spinach, and oats, and this keeps me full for a few hours and definitely helps with not being constipated and having regular bowel movements.

[xtreme]

ah yes, i forgot all we have in our stomach for digestion is water…

[nouryadak]
