Dietitian\'s Tips for Consuming Chia Seed

\r\n

Metabolic Effect: Chia seed regulates the digestive system and provides a feeling of fullness thanks to its high fiber content. It balances blood sugar and keeps your energy level stable.
Consumption Recommendation: You can consume it by adding it to your yogurt, smoothie, or salads. When kept in liquid, it swells and becomes more satisfying.
Things to Consider: Excessive consumption can cause digestive problems. Especially if you are consuming it for the first time, start with small amounts and observe your body\'s reaction.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from this seed, you need to walk for about 60 minutes. Alternatively, cycling for 45 minutes can give similar results.
