I was confused because research is very clear that chia seeds have all of these health benefits then why it was not working for me.

Why Chia Seeds Work and Research Backing 1:12

So today I am sharing with you this exact 7 day protocols of how to use chia seeds in your life so you can reduce inflammation, improve your gut, lose the stubborn belly fat as well as rebalance your hormones. Hi, I am Dr. Anshul Gupta, a former Cleveland Clinic functional medicine physician from US. I help people improve their chronic diseases by making personalized functional medicines. So let me first share with you what I found in research why chia seeds are considered a superfood. First of all, chia seed are very high in soluble fiber.

This soluable fiber feeds the good bacteria in your gut and acts as a prebiotic. Plus, this soluible fiber also reduces your insulin spike by more than 30%. Chia seeds are also very high in omega-3-ALA. A 2024 meta-analysis research study showed that people who consumed chia seeds on a regular basis, they were able to reduce their inflammatory marker called C-reactive protein significantly. Chiasseeds are very highly in protein content plus they have all the amino acids and they are very high in antioxidant compounds like quercetin also.

So these are all the health benefits that I have found in research of chia seeds. But as I shared with you before, when I was using chia in my daily routine, I did not see any significant health improvements. So this is where I am sharing with you my research backed and science based 7 day protocol of how to exactly incorporate chia seeds in your life so you can make them superfood to improve your health. Let's start from day 1. On day one, we are just getting your body used to the chia seed.

Day 1: Morning Chia Lemon Water 2:46

We are preparing your bodies digestion and gut to handle that extra fiber and extra protein from chia. Because some people when they start chia seeds, they will feel little bit stomach upset with more gas and bloating. How do you use it? Basically you mix one tablespoon of chia seed into a cup of warm water and then you let them soak overnight. In the morning when you wake up, you warm up another cup and add to these soaked chia. and then you squeeze in half a lemon or lime into it. And then, you drink this chia seed water in the morning, empty stomach, before your breakfast.

This chia seeds drink is going to hydrate your body as well as going prepare your for more advanced chia protocol. The lemon and lime will give you vitamin C and antioxidants that again supports the absorption of omega 3s from chia. So that's simple day one protocol. Let's start with day two now. Day two is all about stabilizing your insulin in your body.

This day two protocol will reduce your insulin spike by 30%. So that is day 2 stabilizing your insulins so you enter fat burning mode.

Now day 3 is the time where actually we ramp up this protocol. For this we are going to add a powerful addition of apple cider vinegar to your chia seeds.

And then again you add a pinch of cinnamon into it. and then for sweetening purposes, you can always use stevia or monk fruit into it. If you do not have access to those, then a little bit of raw honey is also okay. You make this chia seed pudding at evening itself when you are cooking your dinner because you want it to sit for at least one hour. What is the best time of consuming it? You consume it 45 minutes to 1 hour before you go through bed. So that's day 4. On day 5, we are going to specifically work on this gut repair protocol.

We now know there are specific bacterias in the gut which are responsible for these sugar cravings as well as energy crashes. This Day 5 protocol is going to help improve your gut microbiome, specifically the bacteria which is responsible for sugar cravings. For this, you need 1 tbsp of chia seeds. You soak them in 1 cup of warm water for at least 1 hour and the best time to consume this drink is actually after your lunch around 3-4 pm.

because around 3-4pm is where you will see those energy crashes and that is the time you are going for those snacks which are gonna destroy your gut microbiome. So, this one tablespoon of chia seeds along with one cup of water, you soak them for one hour, then you add one table spoon of apple cider vinegar to it and then add another cup if it is too thick and you drink your chia seed drink around three to four pm. Now we are entering day 6. This is where we're going to ramp up the protocol and we'll give you a double dose of fat burner chia seed.

The first thing is early morning chia seeds, where you soak chia one tablespoon of it overnight into one cup of water. and then you take it in the morning with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and little bit of cinnamon. So you can take empty stomach so we can ramp up the metabolism and enter the fat burning mode.

Now this double dose of Chia seeds is going to ramp up your metabolism really great. And in fact, majority of research studies supports that we need two tablespoons of chia seed on a daily basis to see their maximum benefit. Finally we are entering the Day 7 and this is the day I call as the inflammation crusher. On Day seven we want to impact your inflammation by all different angles because inflammation is a reason your body is not healing and not losing the weight.

For this you soak one tablespoon of chia seeds overnight in one cup of warm water and in the morning you need to brew One cup of green tea and you add one cup green to this mixture. Half a teaspoon of turmeric powder. A pinch of black pepper powder, a quarter teaspoon ginger powder and then you squeeze in half a lemon or lime into it. Now this drink has multiple anti-inflammatory compounds coming from green, turmeric, ginger, blackpepper as well as from chia seeds. This is going to completely crush any inflammation which is present in your body.
