Lemon Chia Water

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
  • 1 cup of warm or cold water
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Optional: honey or a natural sweetener for taste

Instructions

  • Soak the chia seeds in water for at least 10-15 minutes, allowing them to expand and form a gel-like consistency. This process helps make the nutrients in chia seeds more bioavailable.
  • Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir well. The vitamin C in lemon juice helps enhance iron absorption, making it beneficial for individuals with iron deficiency.
  • For added flavor and health benefits, you can include a teaspoon of honey or mint leaves. Honey has antibacterial properties and provides a natural energy boost.
  • Drink this mixture once or twice a day for best results. Consistency is key in achieving the full range of benefits from this drink.
