Not everyone likes chia seeds, but the health benefits that these tiny fiber-dense seeds provide are worth trying again! One ounce, which is 28 grams of chia seeds, has as much as 9.8 grams of fiber, which already meets 39% of your recommended daily needs. Moreover, when chia is mixed with water, they tend to form a gel like substance that when passed through the gut, helps soften the stool and makes it easier to move your bowels. Amazingly, chia has the ability absorb up to 12 times its own weight in water, which adds a lot of bulk and weight to the stools. Plus, you can add them to anything, yogurt, milk, smoothies, salad dressing, even desserts to spruce up your daily fiber content!
