Chia seeds make your stomach flat, but not for the reason you think.
Most people assume it’s the fiber. They’re half right.
Yes, chia seeds are loaded with fiber at about 10g per ounce. But fiber alone isn’t what’s flattening your stomach.
Chia seeds absorb up to 12x their weight in water and form a thick gel in your digestive tract. That gel slows the release of sugar into your bloodstream, which keeps insulin low.
Higher insulin levels can lead to increased fat gain especially visceral fat around your organs.
On top of that, the gel physically expands in your stomach and sends satiety signals to your brain before you’ve overeaten. You eat less without trying.
Gut inflammation is a hidden driver of bloating. Omega-3s in chia seeds reduce that.
So it’s not just fiber. It’s insulin, satiety, and anti-inflammation all working against together.
Add a tablespoon to water, a smoothie, or, my personal favorite, Greek Yogurt and your stomach will thank you.

@CelcomDigi dishonest staff took my phone claiming to want to look at my ticket number (since now we scan QR to get ticket to queue), he filled in the feedback survey???? He wasn't expecting the browser still in the background as i check what he was doing with my phone!
@AMAZlNGNATURE They’re extremely intelligent to the point where they can understand verbal cues and hand signals from their owners, whom they have a super special bond with.
They're firm but also very calm. This one even guided a group of ducks!
Syukurnya anak dia memang baik dan lepas tenangkan situasi, dia minta maaf untuk pak cik tu. Tapi pak cik tu dah tidak menghormati saya dan tampar saya di tempat awam. Saya boleh terima permohonan maaf tu tapi saya tak boleh lepaskan benda ni.
Kes di Family Mart Angsana Mall, Johor Bahru:
Saya hanya makan secara biasa dan pak cik tu tanya saya orang Cina ke tak. Saya jawab ya sebab itu soalan biasa. Lepas tu dia nak saya tunjukkan IC saya walaupun kita tak boleh tunjuk IC kepada orang yang tidak dikenali.
