I love chia! I put 2Tbs in my protein powder everyday. I always let it sit for awhile to make sure the chia is expanded. It becomes really thick like tapioca pudding. Love it!
@@mynameisntruby2405 I'm not eating it anymore because of the carbs. Maybe at some point I may add it back but it's plant and my body really likes me being on carnivore. 💖💜💖
I make pudding with it.Two tablespoons of chia with hot water and sweetener then when I go to have it i add cream and fruit.Infact I made it yesterday and it's in the fridge ready for me to eat it. I love it when refrigerated because it comes out creamy and thick. Thanks for the information and thanks to God for this beautiful creation.
Previously, I bought some protein shake that has ORGANIC chia seed in it, used it all up and it worked for me that kept me from being hungry excessively! I bought another shake, but it is a meal replacement shake this time, and I bought some chia seeds from Publix today and tried 2 teaspoons of chia seed, and kept me full throughout the entire evening. I love it! I've had no side effects from chia seeds at all, none whatsoever!
I add 3TBLS of organic chia seeds to about 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 TBL of monk fruit mix and put in fridge overnight to two days. I add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and fresh or frozen berries on top. D'lish 😋
(2tsp chia + 2tsp sesame + 2tsp sunflower + 2tsp flaxseed), grind it, mix with 250 gm curds + 250 gm water and consume as the first thing in the morning. Just wonderful !!
I add a couple spoons of chia and flax to my oatmeal every morning. My Oct blood pressure was 110/68, lowest ever for a 65 yr old. Also been eating plant based very little processed food for 7 yrs now. Also on no meds.
You have ideal BP, so dont worry. Baba Ramdev too has 110/70 BP and perfectly fit to do summersaults at your age. Since you are vegan, your BP is bound to be less than non vegetarians.
Wow that is a large amount, are you soaking them? I was using a pinch and they made me so sick, still with stomach pains 3 months later due to not soaking, didn't know I had to do that.
@@sylviagaston9453 I grind up whole flax and microwave it in the oatmeal, could be considered soaking. I have a stomach or kidney issue if I eat too many almonds. No peanuts since they're the bad fat omega 6.
@@Gary65437 Flax seeds also give me tummy ache if grounded. Something in those two seeds don't agree with me, too bad because I need to lover my BP and sugar as well.
Well yes I am type 1 diabetic my wife has blood pressure issues and my young son is into sports. We have been having Chia for years what we do is make a smoothie night before consuming it ie ingredients in but not switching it on. Never had any issues. 😊
I get milled chia from Aldi, which soaks the almond milk that I add more quickly. I add 5 grams (about 1 table spoon) to my muesli everyday for breakfast.
I love chia and how it’s so easy to eat. On my dr’s advice I soak two tbs chia overnight in about 1/3 ratio seeds to water. Then I take one tbs soaked chia before every meal. I never have constipation.
I prep a TBSP in a little cup and add water to expand, and leave in frig overnight. Place in my Greek yogurt in the morning, add granola and fresh or dried fruit. That is my daily breakfast
I take 1/2 a cup of almond milk, add 2 tblspns of chia, 1 tblsp of organic unsweetened cacao powder, 1/2 tsp stevia, 1/2 tsp cinnamon mix well and leave overnight in fridge. In the morning I add a little bit of seeds and chopped nuts, small amount of protein powder, a few frozen berries, a slice or two of frozen banana, mix and enjoy. Holds me from early in the morning until lunchtime.
I like to eat chia like breakfast cereal with unsweetened almond milk , monk fruit sweetener , vanilla extract , cinnamon and berries . I let it sit 5 to 10 minutes. Till it puffs up and looks like porridge but Its still a little crunchy 😋
Lol I bought these EXACT ingredients. I figured although honey has great benefits it also contains sugar which can spike your insulin. I'm not diabetic but would prefer monk fruit which does the opposite for insulin.
I use chia seeds on my peanut butter and jam toast to balance all omegas 3,6,9 since peanut butter has only omega 6 ……. I also put some cinnamon on my toast to prevent blood spikes .
I don't soak them first but grind them in a coffee grinder together with other seeds and put a tablespoon over my breakfast...been Doing it for years & no problem
I make flax bread and include 2x tbs chia. Recipe: 4 tbs ground flax seed, 2 tbs chia, half teaspoon baking powder, salt, 2x egg whites. Mix thoroughly, roll into a ball, microwave for 2.5 mins , ready! Slice, toast = brilliant low carb bread alternative. You can add any other seeds.
For convenience of getting out of the house each day, the night before I prep four or five glasses of one tablespoon chia seeds, squirt of lemon juice and teaspoon of maple syrup, great to drink the next morning. Also i had been doing two tablespoons but found that did cause constipation, one tbsp daily is fine. I grind my flax seeds and sprinkle into yogurt or whatever hot meal of typically variety of fish, beans or plant based pasta, kale or spinach plus avocado later in the day. Thanks much for the information!
I just soaked my 4 tablespoons of seeds in a cup of water, (keep stirring through the whole process) then poured 11 cups of Jamaican me crazy coffee over it, a tablespoon of organic coconut, xylitol, and stevia to taste, let it sit some more, and cool before adding 2 tablespoons of MCT oil drank 1/3 of it letting the rest get cold in fridge before having 1/2 of that. Super filling.
I read a comment of someone who got sick and had a diagnose after eating chia seeds. I think it’s good to be well informed before making any choice. I heard a doctor that knows a lot about gut, that everyone is different. And one food that is good for one person it doesn’t mean it’s good for another.
Daily, I prepare a tablespoon full of chia mixed with milk and waited it to expand. Chia seed is now a daily part of my son's meal, taken at breakfast. He has NAFLD and praying that by God's grace, will help his cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver enzymes will go down. This is his 2nd week of taking chia seeds.
2 high fiber Kashi blueberry waffles. Little bit of whipped cream, sprinkled with 1 teaspoon each of chia seeds and the 1 teaspoon of ground golden flax seed topped with a handful of blueberries every other day! For the last 2 years 55 years old, no more BP meds, no more Cholesterol meds, and I’ve lost 25 pounds (back down to 165) Goodbye fatty liver also!!!
i soaked in water,chia ,basil,Cayan pepper ,turmeric,cinnamon, black pepper overnight..I drink it first thing in the morning along with honey and apple cider.. it helps a lot.but I do take a break after every few months of regular intake.❤😊
I thought I was fully hydrated! Shortly after starting a routine of eating chia seeds everyday! Ended up in Ergent care with a blockage in my intestines. Please soak these seeds and stay hydrated.
I like to blend mine with oatmilk, cocoa powder and maple syrup to make pudding. If you put it in the blender it is thick and smooth. I hate the whole seeds texture so in the mini blender it goes. Then into the fridge.
I heard about starting chia seeds cautiously cuz it can cause constipation or diarrhea, depends on the body. I just started Chia seeds today. I mixed 1/3 cup Chia seeds with 2 cups water, left it in the fridge for 3-24 hours and mixed just 2 tbsp expanded seeds in my smoothie. Crossing my fingers it works for lowering my blood pressure!
Never overdo any good remedy. Just a teaspoon or two at a time may give better results with least side effects. It absorbs plenty of water, so use little seeds with full glass of water.
Thank you. At last, someone prepared to discuss the side affects. I have just started taking the seeds soaked in water. I have read, never take raw. It could case you to choke, too much, it can kill.
I started adding them to my daily diet a few weeks ago. My B/P came down around 15 points systolic. My arthritic neck and hands rarely ache like before, with no other changes to my regimen. I soak the 3 T with a few raisins, honey, and black cumin powder. I'm good to go! 😊😊
Hello Natural Cures, yes, I pour either 1/2 or 1 tsp of Chia Seeds in my daily granola cereal with other healthy ingredients. Thanks for this important information about the dangers of eating too much Chia Seeds.
A glass of water, and 1 tablespoon of Chia seeds, leave for 10 - 30 minutes, add a little lemon juice and drink it. However, I now know why my blood pressure drops from time to time - will be more careful in the future, and probably take a pinch of salt after taking Chia. Salt and coffee raise blood pressure.
I just started implementing chia seed in my diet for weight loss, I mix 1 tablespoon of chia seed,ginger and lemon with some water and blend together, First thing i take in the morning before any meal of the day.
Try adding aloe Vera to it…their like a superpower duo…In Mexico there’s a lot of drinks of with both of these in there to help with insulin resistance and blood sugar levels
@@kenjohnson6101 Cannot cite particular piece as have read these things over the years, Google it. Most recent in memory was that we should be as far as 90 feet (yikes!) from microwave when running. I unplugged mine years ago, use convection or toaster oven for quick warming.
At night I pour water in a 3/4 of a glass with 2 spoons of chia and leave it seating for 12 hours, so when I drink them they are already puffed to their maximum capacity. Now I go regularly to the bathroom twice a day.
I eat one TBL spoon full of Chia seeds each morning - plus an equal weight of Flax, of Hemp, and Pumpkin seeds. I grind them each with a coffee grinder and mix the powder in a bowl with three to four TBL spoons of organic homemade apple sauce - it’s like eating apple pie for breakfast !
2 tablespoons in a 16 ounce glass of water let it soak for a couple hours and then I drink it right after my breakfast with my vitamins. Been doing that for five years. I have no problems.

@@lydiapetra1211 Steel cut oats, in particular, contain a soluble fiber made up of beta glucans. Beta glucans form a unique gel-like substance when dissolved in water, and it is this substance that is thought to lower blood cholesterol levels as well as stabilize blood sugar levels Steel cut oats are particularly rich in resistant starch and fiber, both of which may support weight loss, heart health, blood sugar control, and digestion. They're also a good source of iron and plant protein.

I had the talk "Watch your carbs" with my doctor. For breakfast I have cacao chia pudding every morning. My breakfast is now only 12-15 grams carbohydrates. My breakfast carbs cut 60% NOT SUFFERING AT ALL! Pudding recipe Heaping tsp cacao powder 3 tablespoons chia seeds Heaping tsp of dried blueberries 3/4 cup water One squirt of liquid stevia 😊
I've done that too. I put it in custard bowls and as an added attraction I put a couple of frozen cherries in the bottom of the bowl first! Very decadent!
Small container 3 tbs roughly of chia seeds add almond or soy milk, in fridge overnight. When i eat it i add cinnamon and a drizzle of pure maple syrup
I put two wheatbix in a bowl, a tablespoon of chia seeds and a tablespoon of Psyllium. I add some sliced peaches in natural juice, half a medium banana cut up, low fat milk and microwave for two minutes and ten seconds. I let it rest for about two minutes then stir it and add some more cold low fat milk so it isn't too stodgy. Then I eat it. Have been doing this breakfast for over ten years, At 76 my doctor has me as in excellent health. So not going to change it.
I make chia seed pudding out of about 2 tbsp. chia, organic cocoa (lots), 1 can coconut milk and maple syrup and/or monk fruit in a quart canning jar. Overnight in the fridge. I’m going to try it with ground chia and blended fruit. Dates for sweetener. Or?
I use it to help stop my diarrhea (IBS-D) because it gels and seems to slow the colonic spasms, allowing a solid poop to form and pass completely and easily.
I add a few drops of lemon juice to the liquid I soak it in (water, coconut or almond milk). Someone told me that the lemon helps reduce the phytates - but I’m not sure if that’s true.
The important point is that chia should be soaked in water for fews hours and preferably over night to allow them to expand outside your body to actual size before eating them to avoid problems to gastrointestinal tract or choking .
I add a tablespoon to my smoothie daily. It includes frozen strawberries, 1/3 cup frozen kale, big spoon of plain Greek yogurt, a fresh orange, a tablespoon of evoo, the cia seeds, some stevia chocolate syrup and a little water. It is very good!!!
@@mariabubb455 It's NuNaturals. They have all kinds of stevia products. The syrup comes in vanilla and plain besides the chocolate. They also have powdered sweetener that I use to make lemon Kool-Aid. I also put sliced lemons in it. It's great for iced tea too.
Even spoonfuls dry wouldn't really be a problem unless you don't swallow and use more water if need be. Most people are naturally going to wet them somehow because they're more palatable that way. Most of these warnings seem to be related to people who have medical issues already.
I blend the chia seeds and add 3 or 3 tablespoons to almost every meal of the day. I've learnt my lesson to drink whole lot of water when taking chia seeds, otherwise going to toilet would be a huge challenge. Contrary to what is said in the video, I see chia seeds as anti diarrhea.
I put chia seed in a bullet blender to smash open the seed. Smashing the seed makes omega 3 and omega 9 fats available as well as protein and minerals.
I've been eating them for 20 years and have never had a problem
How though ?
I'm getting pain coz of this news😢

@@lydiapetra1211
Steel cut oats, in particular, contain a soluble fiber made up of beta glucans. Beta glucans form a unique gel-like substance when dissolved in water, and it is this substance that is thought to lower blood cholesterol levels as well as stabilize blood sugar levels
Steel cut oats are particularly rich in resistant starch and fiber, both of which may support weight loss, heart health, blood sugar control, and digestion. They're also a good source of iron and plant protein.
In clinical studies, particularly the “gold standard” of randomized clinical trials having a control group, WFPB diets have been repeatedly shown to reverse severe heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity. Go Whole Foods Plant Based No oil/sugar/salt. I follow Joel Furhman/Mike McGreger/Esselstyn for good health and my goal is to stay out of the hospital and nursing home as I age.
Now for my daily breakfast overnight steel cut oats after having fasted for 14 hours. First meal at 7 am and last meal at 4 pm.
All organic:
1 cup Unsweetened soy milk
4 tablespoons of steel cut oats
Heavy sprinkles of cinnamon
2 tablespoons of hemp seeds
2 tablespoons of ground chia seeds
2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds
7 walnuts
1/2 cup of wild blue berries (I change up my berries)
1/2 cup of overcooked mixed lentils (red/black/green)

I had the talk "Watch your carbs" with my doctor. For breakfast I have cacao chia pudding every morning. My breakfast is now only 12-15 grams carbohydrates. My breakfast carbs cut 60% NOT SUFFERING AT ALL!
Pudding recipe
Heaping tsp cacao powder
3 tablespoons chia seeds
Heaping tsp of dried blueberries
3/4 cup water
One squirt of liquid stevia 😊
Great making chia pudding with coconut milk and Greek yogurt.
I've done that too. I put it in custard bowls and as an added attraction I put a couple of frozen cherries in the bottom of the bowl first! Very decadent!
I put a handful of chia in my homemade cookies to get a little into our diet.
I like to add it to my juice or tea
I like putting them in my water bottle for when I go for my walk
Chia seeds are best absorbed by the body if they are ground up with a machine.
Small container 3 tbs roughly of chia seeds add almond or soy milk, in fridge overnight. When i eat it i add cinnamon and a drizzle of pure maple syrup
Thanks video on risks....
So how to prepare & eat them correctly? Is that a separate video?
THANK YOU FOR WARNING US 💜🙏💜
I put two wheatbix in a bowl, a tablespoon of chia seeds and a tablespoon of Psyllium. I add some sliced peaches in natural juice, half a medium banana cut up, low fat milk and microwave for two minutes and ten seconds. I let it rest for about two minutes then stir it and add some more cold low fat milk so it isn't too stodgy. Then I eat it. Have been doing this breakfast for over ten years, At 76 my doctor has me as in excellent health. So not going to change it.
I make chia seed pudding out of about 2 tbsp. chia, organic cocoa (lots), 1 can coconut milk and maple syrup and/or monk fruit in a quart canning jar. Overnight in the fridge.
I’m going to try it with ground chia and blended fruit. Dates for sweetener. Or?
I eat with natural yogurt,honey and chia and pumkin seeds
I use it to help stop my diarrhea (IBS-D) because it gels and seems to slow the colonic spasms, allowing a solid poop to form and pass completely and easily.
I add it my oatmeal with berries and apple pieces, cinnamon and maple syrup ( no sugar syrup) ,and add it to my protein drink in the afternoon.
Sugar from whatever source is still sugar.
No mention on the quantify that is safe to consume in a serving.
I take 2 table spoon chia and soaked in water over the Night and then I add 1 lemon and 1 table spoon Honey.
I add a few drops of lemon juice to the liquid I soak it in (water, coconut or almond milk). Someone told me that the lemon helps reduce the phytates - but I’m not sure if that’s true.
Thank you 😊
The important point is that chia should be soaked in water for fews hours and preferably over night to allow them to expand outside your body to actual size before eating them to avoid problems to gastrointestinal tract or choking .
Love chia seeds, next time i will let them soak a minute in liquid so they can expand... ty for the info - Absolutely love the channel ❤💯🙏
Soak them longer
I make chia pudding weekly. Love it
Thank you for sharing this
For people with digestive issues should always soak chia seeds first.
I always blend alongside my smoothie
Is chia safe to eat if you suffer from diverticulitis?
I add chia seeds powder to my breakfast smoothie. (Fruit & vegetables) Does the information in the video apply to me also?
It’s not bad for diarrhea just because it’s good for constipation🤨 it doesn’t work like that
Reducing blood pressure is a benefit to those with hypertension.
What a nice, to the point, video. *the benefits, *tips, and *what might be an issue. Thank you. I love chia seeds
I add a tablespoon to my smoothie daily. It includes frozen strawberries, 1/3 cup frozen kale, big spoon of plain Greek yogurt, a fresh orange, a tablespoon of evoo, the cia seeds, some stevia chocolate syrup and a little water. It is very good!!!
What is stevia chocolate syrup ?…. Do you mean the chocolate flavored drops ?
@@mariabubb455 It's NuNaturals. They have all kinds of stevia products. The syrup comes in vanilla and plain besides the chocolate. They also have powdered sweetener that I use to make lemon Kool-Aid. I also put sliced lemons in it. It's great for iced tea too.
Even spoonfuls dry wouldn't really be a problem unless you don't swallow and use more water if need be. Most people are naturally going to wet them somehow because they're more palatable that way. Most of these warnings seem to be related to people who have medical issues already.
I blend the chia seeds and add 3 or 3 tablespoons to almost every meal of the day. I've learnt my lesson to drink whole lot of water when taking chia seeds, otherwise going to toilet would be a huge challenge. Contrary to what is said in the video, I see chia seeds as anti diarrhea.
I just top my yogurt with it and don’t worry about the expansion. I only use a Tablespoon.
Love Chia, take it in the morning.
I put chia seed in a bullet blender to smash open the seed.
Smashing the seed makes omega 3 and omega 9 fats available as well as protein and minerals.
I place 1 Tablespoon in 16 oz water with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Then I sip it after half an hour.
