I would stick to one teaspoon a day. Not tablespoons. I've always soaked the chia seeds overnight in milk. Just keep it moderate. 😊
A teaspoon is probably too small to have an impact on health parameters
This is why it's very important to educate oneself before deciding to consume and or use anything for health benefits. Too much of any good thing can be a bad thing! Thanks, Doc, for the video. 👨🏾⚕
You're welcome
So glad I came across this, Dr.Joe.
I actually noticed that it does constipates me.
You're so welcome
Fact
Very informative. I've been consuming chia seed for a year now 1 Tbl spoon with my smoothie. My friend told me to overnight the seeds with my homemade almond milk that it's better. So that's I've been using.
I feel great my A1C is 5.9 from 7 it was before. Appreciate your hard work and dedication
Well done. It's a nice food with lots of benefits. I just want folks to not make the same mistake
I use 1 tablespoon and I leave it overnight and take it in the morning before breakfast with water. I had a bad experience the first time I tried it. I think I took too much. I felt nauseous and threw up everything I had that day.
Thanks Dr. I usually use them with my oat meal on mornings, should I also soak them prior to adding them to the oatmeal? Thanks again for the info.
@@beverlycadogan Yes, it will help to do so, Bev
@@wasilataudu3409 Yes, please start small and allow your body to get used to it before gradually ramping it up
Thanks Dr. Joe, I heard about the unfortunate Chia seeds problem with that man in the news. I blend my Chia Seeds with water of course before I drink it, or I grind it in the coffee grinder, and add liquid, and then I wait for about 10 minutes before eating it thick, or drinking it, so I don't need to wait a whole hour.
Ugh! Maybe I should grind up the seeds before I drink the beverage. This is scary..
You're welcome
What would be the next option? Would Glucomannan be a safer alternative?
@@Zekeratt The video isn't saying don't eat chia seeds. It is simply highlighting what could go wrong if you use chia seeds inappropriately and I have given you precautions in the last half of the video on what to do. Simply follow those steps and you can enjoy your chia seeds safely
I think we should be careful when consuming any kind of seeds. If there are little pockets inside intestines then it could accumulate and cause problems. Blending it would make sense and always start small like dr. Joe says. Too much of anything isn’t good. Eat variety, eat small, drink enough water and move - that’s my motto.
I mill them, one teaspoon of organic chia and one teaspoon of organic flax seeds, mix them with water and place in the fridge overnight. I then add it to my organic natural kefir yogurt in the morning with the following organic nuts and seeds: hemp, pumpkin, walnut, brazil, pecan, ground almonds. I also drink plenty of water during the day
Thank you
@@drjoetvMD a pleasure, Doctor
What is your LDL number?
@@ginalee7704 I’ve no idea, but I feel great, lots of energy (I’m 60), I walk every day. I do have a blood test on 6th June. The last one I had was fine. I’m on an OMAD diet, no processed food, grass fed beef steak, pilchards (sardines), raw unpasteurised caraway seed sauerkraut, beatroot, broccoli,leafy greens (kale, etc), raw red onions, garlic, ginger, fennel seeds, cloves, goats/sheep cheeses (no carb ones), turmeric milk with goats milk, good quality EVOO, free range eggs. I also have a teaspoon of organic Ceylon cinnamon and a teaspoon of organic 100% Peruvian cacoa powder in the kefir yogurt (with those nuts and seeds I mentioned above). I also take a vit d3 with k2-mk7, camu camu (natural vit c), and lions mane in the morning with the food and magnesium citrate/bisglycinate, zinc citrate and super strength omega 3 a few hrs before bed. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink. I drink nettle tea, ginger tea, carbonated lemon water with a capful of organic apple cider vinegar with every pint (overall, about 2-2.5 litres of water a day + the teas), so plenty of fluids. Does that sound ok to you?
I make a chia seed pudding with fermented coconut yogurt and add berries and bananas. I top it off with some organic sprouted walnuts!❤ I also make it at night so I can have it in the morning…
Nice
Thanks for the information Dr. Joe. I was eating chia seeds in my oatmeal every morning. Few weeks after, i experienced the worst abdominal pain with gas. I couldnt lift my leg to the waist. I went to the urgent care and they did x-ray. They said i had gaseous distention with some hip problem. This abdominal pain continued for weeks . It isnt too painful now but my esophagus hurts when i swallow sometimes. I stopped using the chia aeeds because i thought that is what caused the problem. Very enlightening. Thanks for the information.😢
You're welcome
Are you better now? Just check for esophageal cancer - it's the fastest growing cancer in Western society, with similar symptoms to what you are describing.
Yes, of couse Dr. Joe is absolutely correct people.
The chia seed overload is no joke. Just as Dr.Joe explained. Dr. Joe The Best!
Thank you
Really appreciate this video I will change a couple of things tku
@@taysha4999 You're welcome
Good video, nice explanation...
1.I take chia soaked more than 2 hrs.
2.Drink plenty of water thoroughout the day.
3. Great improvement in my LIPID profile
4. Never overboarded
5. Bowel movements normal.
Your findings also informative ..Thanks
Awesome
Thank you so much for this video I'm having this problem right now I went to the hospital and the doctor said I have a mass in my stomach. I really believe it's the chia seed stuck into my intestines cause I been eating chia seeds every day and I don't soak it long enough and I am very constipated. Thanks so much God bless you so much for this video I really needed to hear this cause I was thinking like I hope this is not a cancer when they said it was a mass the first thing came to my mind was lord please help me.thank you Dr. Joe
You're so welcome
thanks for sharing, I just purchased Chia seeds, but I never eat them alone..I put them in my smoothies and with my yogurt. i will soak them going forward. then add them into smoothies
Good plan
Thanks Dr Joe for this video. I normally soak my chai seeds before adding them to my smoothies. I blend the soaked chai seeds with the smoothie before consuming them.
Excellent
Hi Dr. Joe, this happened to me. I was taking 2 tablespoons of chili and I do drink a lot of water but I guess it’s not enough and I didn’t end up in the hospital, but I got really sick on the flight and I realized the only thing I was doing was Jessie and, I’ll be constipated for a minute but what I did I kinda use aloe vera stuff to clean my colon but this was good information and I did mention it to my doctor but she didn’t say anything. Thanks. Great information.
Thanks for sharing that, Camille
Thanks Dr. Joe! Amazing, seems like many of the healthy foods come with some nasty side effects(beets, spinach, eggs, chia seeds). No wonder my doctor tells me just take the pill and eat what you want. I think I will just avoid chia seeds. It's not worth the risk. I have also been feeding them dry to my pet bird. He is a small parrotlet. He loves them No more for him either. I look forward to your next video!
Oh no! I've had pet birds for 40 years . . . Impacted intestines can kill them.
It's my job to let you know about significant side effects of foods we eat to keep you safe. I'm not sure I agree with your doctor though. "Just take the pills and eat what you want" he said. Hmm, Big Pharma pills are not side effect-free. Pull out any drug leaflet and read the list of side effects. It's as long as my arm
Don’t avoid them eat them correctly. I have been consuming them since 2019 and they are in normal rotation daily.
@@jackseve Yes, eat chia seeds. They have lots of benefits including cardiovascular health but just follow the safe steps outlined in the video and you will be fine
Thank you Dr. Joe for not leaving me high and dry
You are welcome
Thx Doc!!! Important info - i stopped years ago when i got serious constipation! I stopped & found other ways to get fiber!
You may restart them by taking the precautions I mentioned in the video
Try Bhumi Amla it is Great
Wow, I never knew . Thanks so much for sharing 🙏
You are most welcome
Thank you Dr Joe, this information helped with some of my concerns.
Most welcome, Rosie
Thank u for this important information. I soak a tbs of chia seeds in a glass of water for 20 minutes and when its all swollen up with the water, i drink it all down. This helps me move my bowels smoothly everytime.
Thank you
Hi Dr. Joe, thanks very much for the insightful information re: Chia Seed. I'm a daily user of the seed, and I usually sprinkle about two tips over my fruits. Going forward I will soak them. Thanks again 😊❤
Awesome
Thanks Dr Jo for this amazing information, God bless you
Most welcome
I freshly griind daily. ALWAYS GRATEFUL 🙏
Awesome
I have been eating chea seed and flaxseed for a long time im loving it
They are lovely
I soak my chia seeds for 20 mins and add it to my oatmeal mixed with half fruits of cucumber,apple,banana,,
Then i add 1tsp of extra virgin olive oil..Is my preparation everyday safe? Thanks for the reply doc
Your recipe is fine but do you need Olive oil in there?
Thanks for the warning . . .
I noticed that taking only ONE tablespoon of Chia seeds was more effective than taking more. As the saying goes; "less is better".
Also, I'd usually only let the seeds soak in a glass of water for 30- 40 minutes before drinking. In the future, I'll be sure I let it sit in water for at least an hour before consuming.
THANKS!
Great
Hi Joe. Thank you for the valuable information. I like to chia seeds, but my consumption is 1 to 2 tablespoons a week in smoothies. My fluid intake is about 2 L H2O per day in addition to other fluid during my meals.
Good to know
Thank You Dr Joe , was using the chia seeds with banana peanut butter oat milk 🥛 protein shake . Great information to have 😊
You're welcome
How much sia seeds per liquid?
Thanks, Dr. Joe, great information.
You're welcome, Janice
Thank you Dr Joe, for such important information 🤔 I use chia 4 times per week . So greatful, much appreciated blessings to you and yours 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome
Thanks Dr. Joe. Was asked yesterday why chia seeds. Had forgotten the teason. Thanks for the precautions.
Good for cholesterol, blood pressure, weight management, diabetes etc. Just some benefits for you but do take the precautions I mentioned
I believe when I began consuming them they cleaned my system of fecal matter. Because when I did my detox the first stages that cleaned my digestive system didn’t happen. It went straight liquid and my system was already clean.
Yes, they do that. You don't need to stop using them. Just follow the precautions in the video
I always grind them for the maximum benefits. OK, I will watch the video now.
Thank you
That sounds scary Doc. Joe thanks for enlightening us
Most welcome
Thank you for the much needed advice 🙏🏽
Very welcome, Felecia
Very good advice.
Fortunately, i have been soaking these seeds but i didn't know this side effects. Thanks
You're welcome
Thank you, Dr. Today was my first time ever eating chia seeds. I added 2 dry tb spoons to my fruit salad. I thought to myself, is it safe to eat them dry? I came to RUclips and your video was very informative! Keep up the excellent work.❤
You're welcome
It happened to me, high constipation after consuming 1table spoon of chia seed every morning after soaking it just for not more than 30min and didn't chew it.....learned now. Thanks!
You are welcome
Thank you. Dr joe for the enlightenment , I really appreciate God bless you sir
You're welcome
Doc, I do drink a lot but I don’t know why things get to that level, but I do my best to drink more than I can ,thank you so much and have a good night
Yes, please do
Thank you, Dr Joe.
Most welcome
Thank your Joe your tips are helpful and appreciated
You're welcome
Thanks for this information. Best wishes.
You're welcome
Thanks for the extremely valuable information.
You're welcome
I stopped using chia seeds three years ago. They did absolutely nothing in terms of satiation, they made me gag because of the gel like consistency, I can't do much of any milk of any kind especially cow and nut milks, and it took way too much time waiting for the chia seeds to be ready to eat safely. Thank you for the info but I left chia seeds and smoothies alone years ago.
You're welcome
Nice weekend, Dr Joe😊
Thank you
Thank you
@@milori21 You're welcome
I always get the ground/milled chia or flaxseed or pumpkin seeds to put in my cereal or smoothies
Thank you
I knew it cause everytime I ate chia seeds I felt nauseous after . I recently stopped eating them. Thanks
Try a smaller amount like I said in the video and make a pudding with it. Don't eat it on it's own
Thanks for making us award.Dr Joe. I always blend chia and flax which minimize that problem. I know water is necessary for digestion. I have always been wondering.how much is enough as I don’t necessary drink gallons, but is guided by the colour of my urine. Is that wrong?
I like the urine guide. Indeed I did a video on it some years ago but when it comes to chia seed, drink plenty of fluid anytime you use them. They are very thirsty
@@drjoetvMD Ok Dr Joe thanks as always.
Always making us aware and with less stress because u are concise and almost the point. For some who don’t understand the medical terms, although the presenter wants to educate us. It can be a bit stressful.
Thank you, Dr. Joe! I appreciate this information. 😘❤️🌹
You're welcome
Great video of valuable advice! Thank you! 🙏🏽 everyone should know this!
You're welcome
Thanks for the education. This is really helpful. What about including some amounts of chia seeds in bread?
You could but I'll suggest you include it as one of the wet ingredients instead of dry. So use the soaked chia seeds in the recipe if that makes sense
I use chia seed when baking muffins. I blend with milk and mix in with the rest of the wet muffin mix. Comes out great. I also drink lots of water as I consume lots of fibre.
@@mindyt5557 Good approach
Thank you Dr for this information.
Most welcome
Dr. Joe, i oove your presentation (this is my first vuew of your channel).
I trust you have something that can inform me of lymphatic care - cleansing and maintaining clean lymphatics.
Blessings
Sadly I haven't done a video on lymphatic drainage at all. Sorry about that
Hi i have just come across your channel i have subbed and liked the video greetings from ireland 😊
Thank you
Thanks. Dr. Joe.
Most welcome
Thanks Dr. Joe for this update on Chia Seed!
I appreciate your honesty as always. You always give it to us as it is.
I started consuming chia seed after you introduced us to it on this channel.
I soak 2 tablespoon in almond milk overnight and I add some nuts and then consume it because I like some crunchy texture.
I chew the nuts with the seeds.
Please let me know if I need to blend it even after soaking overnight.
Thank you Sir!
No, Tracy, what you are doing is fine. So long as you are soaking them long enough before consuming them, we're good. You may blend them if you want to but blending is not mandatory
Thank you so much Dr Joe, yes i grind my chia seeds too, soak in oat milk for about 2 to 3hours b4 taking it😊
You're welcome
Thank doctor. The 1 to 2 liter of water you said we should drink , is it everytime we take chia seed or per day. Thanks for your reply always
Every time you use chia seeds, yes, but it is good practice to drink about 3L minimum of fluid a day anyway. We tend to underhydrate ourselves a lot. In summer, drink plenty
Thanks for information doc
Most welcome
Very informative, thank you very very much, keep up the great job 🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
You're welcome
I blend my chia seed. Soak one spoonful of grinded chia seeds in water for 20 minutes plus before drinking.
Thank you
Very important information,thanks
You're welcome
Omg because I eat them. Thanks for enlightening!!
You're welcome
Thanks Dr Joe. I just come across your videos which I do not subscribe to very interesting and informative
You're welcome
I know someone who got excited with flax seed and consumed it like crazy, the flaxseed formed a brick in her intestines, she ended up in the hospital, the brick was removed. She is fine now.
Yes, easy mistake to make. These seeds are good for you but you have to eat them right, so you don't get hurt
@@drjoetvMD it's true. It was also lack of knowledge she only heard the benefits and got excited.
You are doing great service by educating us and sharing true patient cases for us to see and learn from their mistakes. Thank you.
Thank you
Thanks for the good information!
Uh-oh! I sprinkle about a teaspoon of dry chia seeds when I make scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast multiple times a week. Luckily I haven’t had any problems! I guess I will soak them first now!
Yes, it's safer to soak them
Thanx DrJoe,i dodry grinding and sprinkle on my oats and smoothie
Sounds great!
Omg! I always drink my teaspoon of chia with a whole bottle of water and I try to do so around the time of a meal.
That's good practice
Awesome information, thank you
You're welcome
Very Great Info😊 Thank you!!!
Welcome
It should be soaked blended and added to whatever foods you wish. BUT you MUST drink water through the day.
No more than 2 tablespoons per day. Water makes it expands but also lubricates the intestines so, it can pass through the body uninhibited.
Drink water.
Thank you for your contribution
Most people grind them and sprinkle them on things. I sprinkle ground chia seeds on my salad. Never had a problem with them.
Thank you
Thanks for info Doc I use a lot of seeds
You're very welcome
Thank you very much and God bless you
You're welcome
I think when having chia seed...you should soak well or blend or blend ..... drink lots of water
Thank you
Who in their right mind would eat a whole bag of chia seeds in one setting. One tablespoon of ground chia seeds in a 1 quart smoothie!😳😳😳
People get excited about foods especially when they know it has health benefits. So even 7 tbs can get you into trouble when consumed dry
Just found your channel. great video…I’ve never tried chia seeds, but I might give them a try! Looking forward to checking out all your videos Dr. Joe
Thank you for watching. Hopefully, you will get some value for your time
Thank you Dr. Joe.
Please, can I now grind my chia seed before using?
Yes, of course
I take chia seeds 2 tbsp daily with tumeric powder, black pepper, and ceylom cinnamon. I do take a break ever so often and go back..I'm waiting to have lab work done to see if chia along with my other remedies have worked to lower by cholesterol without the use of pharmaceuticals
Got my fingers crossed for you
@@drjoetvMDDear Dr. Most of the herbal products are used extensively under Indian Medical System named AYURVEDA .But Ayurveda uses these products in varying combination and varying proportion. Please consult an Indian Ayurved specialist .
@@drjoetvMDFlask seeds lower cholestrol very fast.
Be sure to look at your potassium levels as well. They may increase K (potassium) especially if you eat avocado, green veggies/leafy greens and nuts.
@@sheila7814 yep I eat all of that.. Ok thanks for the heads up. Balance is key!!! 💜
I once had a bezoar from consuming a lot of whey powder without drinking enough water. Luckily, I managed- after gargantuan effort- to push it out after using stool softeners, walking, massage, and a LOT of water. LOL, it made a clunking noise when it hit the bottom the toilet!
Oh dear
Rid-x all seeds planting need water once month for me love listening.
Thank you
I use chia seeds as a pudding using Kefir, blueberries, cinnamon, lemon juice refrigerate overnight ❤
Good idea
Dr, sir. Pls what are the benefits of chia seeds, sunflower seed, Hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, etc, someone said they are good for prostrate prevention how true is this sir. Thanks
They are good for your prostate in so far as the fact that they are plants and eating more plants is generally good for your prostate health
Please Dr Joe thank you for this great information you have shared with us all may the Lord Almighty bless you. please I have a question can chia seeds be cooked ? Please
They can, for instance blending them up and add them to something you are baking or adding them to a porridge. Not something I have done but you may do that
I eat them dry, 1 tablespoon on an empty stomach. I never experience issues. They help me with constipation. I struggle to drink them when they are mixed with water, too slimy.
You are taking a risk there. The only reason you are getting away with eating them dry is because you are not eating a lot. Please soak them before use. Mitigate any risk
Eat with yogurt. Mix, let sit in frig, then eat yogurt and drink a full glass of water with it.
Thanks for sharing Dr
Most welcome
Chai seed is the only thing in the world I’m allergic to. The first time I ate it I noticed I started feeling nauseous losing my breath and feeling dizzy. I tried it several times and I noticed the same symptoms so I stopped eating it .
That's okay. It doesn't suit everyone like a lot of foods
I noticed that any time I take chia seeds, I get pebble like stool and apple cider vinegar too does the thing to me so I don’t take them often, and I do soak it overnight but I don’t why it does that,thanks for the tip on this
You need to drink more, Emma. You are not drinking enough. Chia seeds are a thirsty bunch. Very thirsty
Happened to me one time and since then , I make sure to drink more water than my usual intake
We all need to food detectives, this is totally unfair as we never really know what is good for us😢
Chia seeds are good for you. I'm not saying they are not but this is one way using them can go wrong and I have supplied you with recommendations
Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure
I love chia seeds and make chia pudding and bread. God made everything good so we need to have balance
Yeah, I haven't said, don't use them. I eat them all the time and I recommend them. Use them but take the precautions I mentioned in the video
You are absolutely right thanx❤
Thank you
Ohhhh I started taking it yesterday. 1 tablespoon added to my egg and fried with green peas. I think I'll stop taking it
Oh No. That's not the idea behind the video at all. Chia seeds are good for you but follow the precautions I outlined in the video and you will be fine. Using it the way you have described is not a great idea unless you are pre-soaking them
@@drjoetvMD thanks Doc
I soak a tablespoon in olive oil , 1/4 tsp Ceylon cinnamon, a drop of wild oregano 20 mins before taking. Maybe I need to re-think
Probably
Hi Dr....your the best...
Thank you
I was adding them to my yogurt in the morning no more I’ll do a smoothie or overnight
Always ensure they are soaked before use
@@drjoetvMD I’ll be soaking t them now. I had no idea. Thank you for the information!

Thank you Dr Joe. A question : since Ozempic slows down digestion, is it safe to consume chia seed while on Ozempic or similar drugs ?
Oh, probably not. That would be a bad combo. If you do eat it though, I wouldn't recommend more than 1 or 2 tbs
@@drjoetvMD Thank you Dr.
