Need to improve digestion? Do you feel constipated all the time? Lack of fiber in your diet? Can’t eat more fruits and vegetables? Poor gut health? Don’t Worry! You have arrived at the right place!
Adding a tablespoon or two of chia seeds as part of your daily diet can give a high fiber boost to the overall fiber intake for the day. It is one of the most convenient ways to increase dietary fiber on a daily basis.
At 4-5 grams of dietary fiber per tablespoon, it really is one of the most fiber dense foods on the planet; this also makes its net carb count to almost zero.
1 tablespoon of chia seeds has more fiber than 1 apple!
You can easily add chia seeds on a daily basis in the following ways:
- Add them to your chapati doughs.
- Adding it to your breads/bakery items while baking.
- Sprinkle them over your oatmeal/porridge.
- Blend them into your smoothies.
For best results, avoid consuming raw chia seeds. You can even just soak them in water and then consume.
