News India Live, Digital Desk: Chia seeds: Chia seeds are popular as a superfood as they are found in plenty of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. But eating them incorrectly can also cause damage to the body. Let’s know the possible risk associated with the intake of chia seeds:
1. Stomach problems
Chia seeds have a very high amount of fiber. Suddenly starting excessive intake can affect the digestive system. This can cause problems like flatulence, gas and cramps. People who already have stomach problems should eat it carefully.
2. Danger of suffocation
Chia seeds swell a lot when soaked in water. If you do not eat them without soaking or not eating with enough water, then they can stuck in the throat, which can cause suffocation conditions. Always soak them in sufficient quantity or eat with enough water.
3. Sudden decline in blood pressure
Chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce blood pressure. But if you are already taking blood pressure medicine, eating chia seeds can cause blood pressure to fall abnormally. In such a situation, consume it only after consulting a doctor.
4. Allergy problem
Some people may be allergic to chia seeds. Symptoms of allergies include itching, rashes, vomiting, or trouble breathing on the skin. If you see such symptoms, seek a doctor’s advice immediately.

Chia seeds can react with blood thinner and diabetes drugs. This may increase or decrease the effect of these drugs, which can prove dangerous for the body. If you are taking any medicine, then consume chia seeds only after consulting the doctor.
