In addition, they positively affect brain function, which translates into improved memory and concentration. In addition, they prevent heart disease and atherosclerosis, and reduce the level of bad cholesterol and blood pressure.

Chia seeds contain a lot of fiber, which in addition to improving bowel function, suppresses hunger and accelerates fat burning. That’s why they are recommended by nutritionists, as support in the fight for a slim figure.
It is worth preparing chia with water. The consistency of such a drink will resemble a gel liquid. Just pour a few tablespoons of seeds into a glass in the evening, then pour water over them, stir and put in the refrigerator. In the morning it remains to take out and drink the drink.
To the concoction you can add a few drops of lime, lemon, coconut water or a little agave. Such a drink drunk on an empty stomach will not only give you energy, but will also provide a protective layer for a sensitive stomach.
