Chia Seeds - 3 things that Chia Seeds are NOT

This guy is 100% done with people coming into his office misusing chia seeds 😂 Very good video. It was very helpful to me even if I did find the tone entertaining 🙂

Ever since I posted this video almost a year ago (Oct 2020), it has received many comments from viewers, some positive and also many negative and even angry comments. I want to thank everyone who made the effort to leave comments, regardless of whether they were positive or negative. I shall take encouragement from the positive encouraging comments but at the same time, I will also not ignore or disregard the negative comments/feedback but to take such negative feedback seriously and learn from them, then use them as motivation for me to try harder to improve and make better videos moving forward. THANK YOU ALL! My goal for this video was simply to highlight the importance of improving all aspects of our lifestyle and diet for health and to combat chronic diseases, to remind people NOT to be distracted by the 'Healthy Halo' of 'Superfoods' such as Chia Seeds when making food choices, especially when shopping for packaged foods in supermarkets, to encourage everyone to look at the full ingredients listing of all packaged foods before buying, including food products that have 'CHIA SEEDS INSIDE' labels PS. The examples in this video was meant to put across the point that Chia Seeds will not make up for whatever that is not good in a meal, they were not meant to show how Chia Seeds are typically used. Chia seeds are a great healthy ingredient, full of nutrients, fiber and antioxidants, that I would encourage everyone to keep handy in their pantry. I use chia seeds often in my cooking, eg. sprinkling chia seeds into my beverages, soups and stews. But this video, as the title '3 THINGS THAT CHIA SEEDS ARE NOT' suggest, was never intended for talking about l the different health benefits of chia seeds or the different ways to take chia seeds. Thanks everyone! Have a great day! Doc

I didn’t realize that people added chia seeds to such unusual things. I add chia to my protein shakes because it makes me feel full.

Doctor Chan has put up a wonderful summary video about chia seeds. First thing In the morning I put 2-3 Tsps of chia seeds in 1 cup of water. I wait 15-20 minutes and then I drink it on an empty stomach. It has improved my energy, skin, hair, nails, and overall health. Drink to the wellness of good health.👍

That truly made me smile: "Chia seeds are not magic dust." 🙂

Chia seeds are most effective when they are a part of a healthy diet plan. Very practical. No gimmicks. I ❤️ this video.

I just take chia seeds with plain water. Simple as it is. ♥️

Dr.Chan you are amazing.The world needs more doctors like yourself.

I don’t understand why the 500 dislikes. This video is a fantastic reminder to us that not just eating 1 healthy food can allow us to fill ourselves with other unhealthy food. It’s the habit and mindset he is trying to emphasize on!

Love this - I just purchased some as part of my Keto lifestyle and this video was very helpful.

Dr. Chan you are making so much sense. Thank you for calling us to account in HOW we eat overall!

I've never used Chia Seeds, but fell for the magic dust comments. I eat healthy and thought the Chia Seeds would make things better. thank you for the great explanation.

I use them as a pudding with fruit and coconut milk . I often use vanilla and monk fruit sweetener. It keeps me from eating regular desserts.

I have radically changed my diet since being diagnosed with type 2. I eat chia pudding made with unsweetened oat milk every day, adding different things like cinnamon or vanilla, blueberries or half a banana. I have dropped all extra sugar and fat. lost a stone in two months. Also drink raw apple cider vinegar with either elderberry or beetroot juice. I hope I am doing the right things. Lol!!!

Agree. We have replaced rice for quinoa, cow milk for nut milks including hemp hearts milk and margarines for coconut, olive oils and we have added chia, flaxseeds, hemp hearts to our diets...and we have felt such a diffference in our health. It's about making better choices.

I have been hearing so much about chia seeds. I saw some drinks with chia seeds in it. While waiting in line to make my purchase I watched this video. The drink listed sugar as 1st ingredient. thank you Dr Chan. You saved me $4 and educated me

Thank you Doctor, for your response to my comment. I am from Bangalore, India. I am not a doctor, but promote natural remedies. To add to your very sensible, practical and balanced approach, your view of the use of all health-promoting natural substances ONLY by making the necessary lifestyle changes, makes huge sense. I have come across people who have come to me with diabetic gangrene and with wounds that never heal. Although I treat the wounds, my main focus is on their diabetes. When I tell them to make the necessary lifestyle and dietary changes, there are some who are adamant and only want the remedy. Such people have literally died. Whereas those who made the changes are living normal, happy lives. Adding chia seeds or any natural health-promoting substance to poison and consuming it for health and healing, doesn't make any iota of sense. Thank you Doctor for making this concept so clear and precise.

Thank you so much Dr Chan, I really really enjoyed listening to your excellent advice, and you are so right about Chia seeds and eating habits. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too. Please stay safe and well too

Exactly 💯 what I needed today!!!! Thank you for the straight talking, no nonsense advice Doctor

I’ve only used chia seeds (1/2 - 1 table spoon) in a meal-replacement smoothie. I found it helps me feel fuller, there by not feeling the need to snack between meals. Thanks for your video, Love and Light 🕉🙏❤️🙏🕉
