Love what you said about having a "super pantry" instead of seeing things separately as "super food". You are right you can't expect magic from the Chía seeds if your diet is poor and unhealthy!
Super Pantry 💪💪💪
Glad you appreciated my advocating people to move away from SuperFoods but to look at their eating habits more holistically by focusing on learning, building and choosing regularly from a Super Pantry instead!
Blessings,
Dr Chan
Thanks 🙏, for your advice about it, blessings 🌌🌍📖🔥🙌👍👍
❤😂😂😂😊
Thank you for the tips on the spice grinder and the article about ground chia as a source of Omega 3 precursor levels.
Thank you. I was looking for this idea and you are the only one with video about ground chia and flax seeds.
Very better orientation than most nutritionist I have ever followed. Thank you. ETHIOPIAN .
Hi Doc, I’m in my late 20’s and recently started focus on my diet. I’m obviously overweight and had no idea on nutritions I should intake. By accident I came across your channel and now I’m learning a lot with you. Thank you so much for educating all of us
You should look up Dr. Fung, Dr. Hyman there books and utube videos have cured and help many people with diabetes type 2 and those who want to lose wieght and just want to be healthy in general.
Not accident,destiny.
Thank you for your insight and good sense Dr. Chan.
I really love the way you explain this chia seed, thanks!
Really informative, thanks for sharing! I use true elements chia seeds to make this awesome recipe. The chia seeds were really awesome and went well with this recipe.
Interesting video and I am now a new subscriber. I am certain your videos will be of great benefit to me and others.
Love this! I use ground chia seeds in pudding as I dislike the texture of whole chia seeds.
Thank you. I use my spice grinder all the time but never thought of grinding chia seeds for a thickener. So smart.
Glad it was helpful!
Healthy eating and financial management should be taught in all schools around the world. The reason they don't focus on these is due to them making so much money from people in debt and eating crap foods. Can you imagine how many businesses would go bust if everyone was educated on how to eat healthily and manage their money.
Thank you for the information I will definitely try this way (grinded)
Great info, thx for sharing.
I love how clean and beautiful your country Singapore is, respect from Virginia, USA.
glad you found it useful. And yes, we who are living in Singapore are blessed indeed. Blessings, Dr Chan
I am glad to know I can use it in many ways instead of just chia pudding. So glad I can grind them to add to different recipes.
Yes you can and should! Because I always encourage people, including my patients, not to see anything as a Superfood, but to focus on building a SuperPantry with healthful ingredients to use in different ways and different foods for a healthy eating habit. Blessings, Doc
This was very helpful, thank you
Thanks Dr. You look very healthy.
Thanks a lot for sharing this important information about Chia Seeds. I'm learning a lot from you, Doc. God richly bless you more and more as you continue to educate people like me.🙏🥳🥰💖💖💖
Thank you for your encouraging words. Much appreciated. Blessings, Dr Chan
I love your Honesty’s
i am really impressed how dr.chan emphasize the importance of being a mindful eater, instead of the "healthy-hashtag-hunter", if you know what i mean. i am watching how people on social media really glorify some kind of superfood or healthyfoodies term onto their feed's hashtag. to be honest, that acts really worrying me since it has tight relation with fast media consumption habit among people today. thanks for sharing, dr.chan
Glad you found it useful. Blessings, Dr Chan
Ground chia ❤ Thank you,Doctor!
You're welcome. Hope you found it useful
Came across your post whilst looking for an alternative thickener to xanthan gum. Why did I never think of grinding chia seeds...🤣🤣 Fabulous, thank you so much and I've just subscribed ❤
Glad u found it useful. Cheers
Thanks for the great information.
Thanks for your encouragement!
This is outstanding.
i always watch you videos very helpfull thank you
Recently I daily used chia seeds for my breakfast. To avoid repetition I add different nuts and berries to the pudding each day. Chia seeds lower high blood pressure and improve A1C readings. Still have to take my medicine though for precaution.
What are the basics of your super pantry? I keep roasted chia seeds on my table w/specific nuts. I use collagen peptides for plain Greek yogurt and consume greens & certain veggies w/ eggs. What else is needed? Thank you for sharing your experitise, Dr. Chan.
I too use chia and flax seeds as a thickener instead of flour or corn starch. I do so because of the fiber and protein content.
Hello Dr Chan. Can you do a video showing us your super pantry at some point in time? Or if you've already done one before, can you share the link? Thank you.
Thank you for this. A doctor that actually knows nutrition and things beyond only drugs is wonderful.
Would you recommend to treat basil seeds as you would for chia seeds? Do basil seeds have to be ground yo absorb all the nutrients as well?
Basil seeds are so much better than chia seeds.
I grind both chia and flax seeds and use it in my smoothie every day
Thanks for the video. I have always seen people suggest that chia seeds should be consumed in whole form soaked overnight so I've been wondering if grinding them would be a good idea or not.
I definitely agree with your philosophy. People usually set very high expectations from superfoods while they should just be added to our everyday food as normal food. I too have been one of those people who expected my health and energy levels to change drastically once I started incorporating superfoods but thankfully now I'm able to manage my expectations in a better way.
Hi, Thanks for dropping by my channel and sharing your experience. I personally prefer using Ground Chia Seeds for drinks, because it is (1) quicker and more convenient and (2) I enjoy that more. Yes, the 'Superfoods' focused mindset can become a distraction sometimes and I often have to do a lot of coaching and counselling to get people to focus on improving their lifestyle and diet holistically and not just focus on 'Superfoods'. Cheers, Doc
@@TheHabitsDoctor how long does ground chia seeds lasts when stored?
For breakfast I layer a bowl with applesauce plus 1 tsp. of chia seeds mixed in and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then I fill the rest of bowl w/cooked oatmeal and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Super tasty way to start the day!
Brown sugar, bad, refined. Oatmeal, bad, inflammatory. What apple sauce do you use, processed or homemade from organic apples?
Thank you Dr. Chan, great video. I came across this while browsing to buy Spectrum brand Chia Seeds. I use it for my overnight oats. According to my dentist, avoid Seeds which are not good for the health of teeth! Although I use whole seeds I think Ground Chia Seeds may be better for absorption and healthier for the teeth! I like the idea of using both Whole and Ground Chia seeds. I would buy a bag of each, Whole and Ground seeds.
Hi, doctor. Thanks for the info. I heard that chia seeds contain a lot of protein, so I add the powder to everything I eat to minimize insuline spiking, and also to get the essential oils, because I am vegan. Cheers!
Eating is than a tablespoon isn’t good. Same for flax
thanks for the sharing brother
Great, thank you
Microfiber ground chia in pet food yields tremendous results with improvement in coat , skin , joint mobility in pets. It is used at the veterinary practice where I work.
Great tip, thank you!
Hi Doctor Chan, What do you suggest regarding vitamins/ supplements gummies? Thank you!
Thanks man!
Thanks Dr.
Thanks for dropping by my channel and for making the effort to drop me an encouraging note. Best regards, Doc
Thanks Dr ❤ 🙏
Glad you found it useful. Blessings, Dr Chan
Hmmm...I personally can see why they'd be called super foods though. If your goal is to maintain a healthy omega 3 to 6 ratio, the small amount of chia seeds required to do so is extremely impressive. They're virtually flavorless, can be blended in to anything without really noticing them and they're not terribly expensive. They really pack a punch if you have a specific goal and don't want to consume excess calories.
You have to ground them to absorb the omega 3 though. Most people don’t seem to realize this.
Aloha, Doc. I love how you said, " keeping a Super Pantry instead, of looking for SuperFoods", that's Soo.. American!
Yes - I also eat a lot of seeds for bfst - mixed with homemade apple sauce - GRIND ‘em for sure - it’s the first step of the digestion process - like cooking - But only grind as much as you will eat today - if the ground seed sits around a lot of things happen like oxidation and evaporation of the oils they contain - or the oils may become rancid…?
Thank you sir
Hallo
thank you alot , i like ur perspective about superfood andsuper pantry, it is more holistic. also superfood seems like a marketing word, i also personally dont like it.
as for the study, It is written that although the omega3 fatty acids increased, they didnot affect inflammation risk factors? what is your thought about that?
Thank you ,explain that so well,I wanteD to lose weight,buT
I saw anOther vidEos that discourage me to take it.
As they focus mOre oN sidE effects.
Nice spice grinder. Good idea
It was a gift from my wife who knows me well and what to get me :-)
Dr. Chan your wife is so thoughtful 🧐
@@laurawong3281 she is indeed. I am so blessed. A couple of years ago, I wrote a blog post about how she has been supportive of me in all the different things I've embarked on all these years - www.whatscookingdoc.sg/blog/behind-every-adventurous-man-is-a-long-suffering-wife , am sure after reading it, you would know how amazingly supportive she has been for me.
Interesting 😊
...Good thinker...
Thank you Doctor I'm new subscriber

Most reasonable
Please a question .I want to ground mine but how do I use it as a tea form. I want to drink it in the grounded form is there a procedure for that
where can i get that spice grinder, it is so cute!
Do grinding legumes and mixing them with a beverage will make my body absorbs them fast?! Or it doesn’t matter?!
I read that chia seeds absorb a lot of water, so if used with dry foods they will pull water from your intestines. so I soak the seeds for 20 minutes. The water turns to gelatin. If they are this permeable they shouldn't need to be ground I assume the gelatinous quality means they will be protective of our intestines in addition to their other health benefits.
Thank you doc
Glad you found it useful. Blessings, Dr Chan
god tier info
1:17 RESPECT!!!
Old glass food jars excellent for storing ground nuts and seeds powder.
Hey Dr Chan
I started a way of eating vegan. I eat this everyday. can u tell me if this diet is okay or if I'm missing something. so here what I eat everyday
I wake up and drink a 8 oz glass of water with a
Half lemon and
1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
then ten minutes later
I have glass of carrot Juice
Then 1 hour later
I have a plate of fruit
Canalope pineapple and oranges
Then 1 hour later
I have brocoli tomatoes mushroom peppers onions with 1 tbsp of flaxseed mixed in with a whole grain tortilla
Then 2 hours later
I have another glass of carrot Juice
Then 2 hour later
I have butternut squash spinach and corn with 2 tbsp of chia seeds in my dish.
Then I have green tea
Then I take aspirin and water and go to bed and that's it. Is this enough nutrients for one day? Is it healthy enough? And is it okay to put my ground chia seeds in my stir fry while cooking or does this kill the nutrients? Please help I'm trying to get healthy I just found a tumor in my neck although it's not cancer I don't want it to turn into and want to get rid of it the best way I know how ...eat good. Thanx I'll be patiently waiting for a response I know your probably very busy so anything will help. Thank you very much.
Great way to pull the nutrients out of your intestines
I always felt Sesame seeds, Chia seeds, Flax seeds should be ground and then consumed for better absorption of nutrients. Chewing isn't sufficient...
How about using the pepper grinder instead
Aren't we supposed to soak the seeds like chia, flax and hemp and others in order to digest it and absorb the nutrients?
When I was little I always have chia as a refreshing water with lemon before it was a famous food. Now, surprisingly I am doing chia pudding. However, my naturopathic doctor always said to soak the chia in water for better absorption.And, I will never eat it dry because if chia absorbe water a lot, what will it do to in my intestines? si, I am surprised you eat chia in dry form.
How is grounded chai seed prepared with water to take in as tea Doctor ?
Can I use a pulverizer instead of a grinder? Pulverizer will turn it into a very fine powder unlike a grinder would. Is it bad to use a pulverizer? I do not have a grinder.
I've read that you should never swallow in foods or a drink, whole Chia seeds, as they can swell up and cause trouble. Is this true? Thanks for the reply.
i havent got a grinder or blender! will it be ok if i leave some chia seeds in some water for several hours?
You don't call it a super food but you leave it in your "super pantree" 😂👍🏽
I have a question and i hope you can help me with it. How is beneficial for human body to eat chia seeds, or quinoua or sesame, or other tipes of seeds which we cannot break and they are intact when we go to the toilette? The seeds still can germinate so i don't know how is posibile for me to beneficiate from those seeds in that case? What is the philosophy of the seeds digestion in human body? I couldn't find anything on the internet about this, or i don't know how and what to search. Thank you very much for your answer.
Do ground chia seeds expand and do I have to soak ground seeds
i only like them for the jelly like effect
Do you have to chew chia seeds or can you swallow them as they are.
Hi Dr. Chan, @The Habits Doctor
I have a question:
If I'm doing fasting, I'm in fasted state. Then, I drink one or two tablespoon of chia seeds with a glass of plain water.
Is this break the fasting or not?
Yes bc they have calories.... And fat alone with other things that break a fast....
Dose chia seed need to be soaked before eating to remove lectins?
Hi Doc, how do you know that you are allergic to chia seeds?
Hi dr chan I have an underactive thyroid is chia seeds a good thing for me
With ground chia seeds I would keep this in the freezer just like I do with ground flaxseed.
Flax seeds have been shown to lower Testosterone. Has there been a link of Chia seeds affecting this or other hormones as well?
That’s hilarious because flax seeds have also been shown to raise T 😂
who knows anymore, we live in the data overload age
Usually I grind my own
I read that chia seeds have lots of lectins which is bad for health..can we boil chia Seed so that lectins are destroyed??? Pls reply
@ The Habits Doctor
Do you have to roast chia seeds before grinding?
I don't know of anyone roasting Chia seeds before consumption, whether whole or grind. Most people would not roast Chia seeds, even though Chia seeds are often used in cooking or baking. Hope this helps. Thanks for dropping by my channel. Cheers, Doc
Thanks Doctor Chan
Hello. I have diverticulitis. I cannot have seeds, skins etc. How can I benefit from chia seeds?
Chia seeds contain lectins, still can consider it as healthy food?
Can we take chia seeds powder with water
Does taking chai seeds increase or cause ulcer
Just tried ground chia seeds and just noticed that my milk got thicker than compared to the whole seed ones.
Shouldn’t chia seeds be soaked in the liquid - leave for a few minutes? Instead of drink “immediately”?
I have read that whole chia seeds will not be absorbed in the intestine, our body cannot break them. Only way is to ground them or use them fully hydrated. Is it true?
We can absorb nutrients from eating Chia Seeds, whether we eat them whole, pre-soaked or ground, but the degree may be different, I made a video on whether to grind Chia Seeds or not >> th-cam.com/video/gAQsve9ct8g/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps
@@TheHabitsDoctori can not klik the link u had share ..
Doctor, Can we buy cleaned chia seeds at the market? Because we couldn't wash and dry chia seeds at home. then it become like jelly.
Chia seeds do get very “jelly” like when you add liquid. I didn’t like chia seed pudding for that reason. But after adding coconut, nuts, and mixed berries to it, I now love it. I’m a stickler for texture and chewing chia seed pudding helps take away the sliminess. I also use heavy cream instead of water.
👍👍
If i kip grounded chia seeds for a week or more will it loose its nutrition?
Can make chesses from chia seeds......????
Powdered along with roasted peanuts is awesome for pizza crust; I'm fat adapted with high metabolism so my body burns those unsaturated non-animal fats as fuel.
