The University of Michigan reports that breast cancer survivors often complain about fatigue. Chia seeds, which contain omega-3 fats, are included in the school's fatigue reduction diet for these cancer survivors. Before adding any of the recommended foods to your diet, please consult your health care professional if you are a breast cancer survivor or not.)
As GoodRx points out, eating chia seeds can help you avoid iron deficiency anemia, which can cause fatigue, as well as help you maintain a steady blood sugar level (WebMD).
Taking too many of these fiber-rich seeds can lead to digestive problems such as gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea, so be cautious. If you are taking medication to manage your blood pressure or blood sugar, or if you have an inflammatory bowel condition, you should talk to your healthcare professional about eating chia seeds.
