There is a food that is rich in fibres, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, a complete protein source, mineral enriched etc. This article is all about Chia seeds. Do you know what these are?
The chia seeds have become stable in many diets and this has been brought to light by many television shows and Instagram feeds etc. Being both versatile and with high nutritional value, chia seeds have found their way into our everyday meals. Point is that smoothies and baked goods are prepared with chia seeds. Bitter fact is that not all foods could be eaten along with chia seeds.
Don`t combine milkshakes and full at fairy with chia seeds:
When mixed with liquids, chia seeds would form gel-like consistency. Truth is that those who have a sensitive gut would get a bloating/heavy feeling when chia seeds are consumed along with full- fat dairy. It was brought out by research study in 2013 that high fat foods would slow down digestion and this would make it hard for the body to process fibre present in the chia seeds. To keep the digestive system to function well, it is important to consume chia seeds and full-fat dairy separately.
Don`t combine deep fried products with chia seeds:
It was revealed by research study in 2021 that chia seeds when combined with deep fried products like pakoras and samosas etc would lead to discomfort, acidity etc. The reason for this is chia seeds would promote digestion but fried foods would slow down digestion.
Don`t combine white rice with chia seeds:
We could get a digestive imbalance when we eat chia seeds with white rice. Truth is that white rice is carbohydrate rich and has little fibres and chia seeds are full of fibres. There are chances of getting an upset stomach by eating this combination.
Don`t combine alcohol with chia seeds:
Our body would get dehydrated while chia seeds swell after absorbing water. We could get digestive issues like stomach cramps etc by eating this combination.
Don`t combine bananas with chia seeds:
What would happen if we eat soluble fibres in excess? We could get constipation and heaviness etc. So, please be careful and don`t eat these foods together. This has been mentioned by a research study in 2021. It is known that both bananas and chia seeds are rich in soluble fibres. Those with a sensitive gut must avoid consuming banana and chia seed smoothies every day.
Don`t combine excess sugar with chia seeds:
Those with a sensitive gut would find it uncomfortable if they eat excess sugar with chia seeds. Truth is that excess sugar can cause spikes in the blood sugar levels and chia seeds with fibres would clash with this spike. For best results, it is necessary to keep chia seeds with low sugary foods and not add to high sugary desserts etc.
Don`t combine excess caffeine with chia seeds:
We could get dehydrated when we consume caffeine heavy drinks. This is similar to alcohol intake. By combining excess caffeine with chia seeds, we could get acidity, stomach irritation etc. it must be noted that combining chia seeds with caffeine would be tough for the gut as chia seeds already add bulk.
How to consume chia seeds?
Firstly, we must soak chia seeds in water for 20 minutes minimum and then consume. It is important to start with small amounts (1 or 2 teaspoons) and then increase gradually. Combining chia seeds with yoghurt, frits would be superb. It is necessary to consume adequate amounts of water throughout the day to prevent bloating.

Women and yeast infection are closely related!! Yes it`s true!!
Not many of us have the courage to speak about our intimate health and hygiene etc with others. It is worthy to note that many women get affected with yeast infection and find it difficult to talk about the issue with others. This yeast infection also called as candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by overgrowth of yeast Candida. It must be noted that daily habits could trigger yeast infection in women. Point is that getting yeast infection is common but it is treatable. Identifying yeast infection is very important and if mistaken for other infections then it might be risky.
There are several surprising habits that can trigger yeast infection in women and these are
Not drying properly after bath:
Yeast infection can occur in women if they do not dry properly after taking a bath. Overgrowth of yeast can be avoided by maintaining a dry environment around the gential area. It is true that the presence of moisture would provide a favourable condition for the yeast to grow. Therefore, thorough drying after taking a bath is essential to prevent yeast infection.
Wearing tight damp synthetic inners:
Yeast would also grow fast when a woman after taking a bath wears tight damp synthetic inners. This would lead to heat and moisture and due to this yeast could develop fast in them. So, please be careful. It is advisable to wear natural light cotton inners especially if prone to yeast infections etc.
Using scented soaps and intimate washes etc:
It was brought out by a gynaecologist from Gurgaon that using scented soaps and perfumes etc in the intimate parts would not be of huge help. She spoke about how scented soaps and perfumes etc would disturb the natural pH in the intimate parts of a woman. Good bacteria would be reduced. By this there would be yeast overgrowth also.
Consuming a diet with high sugars etc:
It is worthy to note that consuming a high sugar diet would feed yeast and would help it to grow faster. It is for this reason that those with diabetes would get yeast infections much more easily than others. It was revealed by a study in 2024 that those with type 2 diabetes have higher chances of developing yeast infections in them.
Antibiotic usage:
It is surprising to note that use of antibiotics can increase yeast t infection in women. Point is that while antibiotics would help women to fight bad bacteria they also kill the good bacteria that would keep yeast growth in control. There is often a window where yeast has got more chances to take over after a course of antibiotics intake by women.
