Chia seeds are packed with fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants. They’re low in calories and rich in good fats. Sounds like a dream, right?

Yes, all that is true. In fact, just 2 tablespoons of chia seeds offer around 10 grams of fibre—nearly 35% of the daily recommended intake. That fibre can support digestion, reduce cholesterol, and help feel fuller for longer. The omega-3s, especially ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), have been linked to reduced inflammation and better heart health.

But there’s a catch—more isn’t always better, especially when consumed every single day.
