If you often wake up feeling bloated, this simple morning drink with chia seeds, flaxseed, and lemon can help support digestion and reduce water retention naturally.
Why This Combo Works
- Chia seeds – Rich in soluble fiber, they form a gel when soaked, which helps regulate digestion and promote regular bowel movements.
- Flaxseed – Contains fiber and omega-3 fatty acids that support gut health and reduce inflammation.
- Lemon – Stimulates digestive juices and supports hydration first thing in the morning.
Together, they help:
Improve digestion
Reduce bloating
Support detoxification
Keep you fuller longer
