Recommended Intake & Goals
Consume soaked in liquids (chia pudding) before long-duration training or endurance events.
Preparation & Usage Steps
- Soluble fibers (mucilage) absorb water, forming a thick gel in the stomach.
- This gel slows gastric emptying and the breakdown of carbohydrates, providing steady glucose release.
- Calcium and magnesium are slowly absorbed to support muscle contraction and hydration.
Nutrition Cues
"Always soak chia seeds in water or milk before consuming to avoid dehydration."
"Let sit for 15-20 minutes until a gel forms."
"Excellent source of anti-inflammatory fats."
Preparation Tips
