AIIMS-Trained Doctor Recommends Chia, Flax, and Basil Seeds for Gut Health

AIIMS-trained gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi highlights three seeds beneficial for gut health: chia, flax, and basil seeds. Chia seeds, rich in soluble fiber, should be soaked before consumption to aid digestion and regulate bowel movements. Flaxseeds need to be ground for better nutrient absorption, providing omega-3 and other benefits. Basil seeds, often used in Ayurvedic medicine, support digestion and can be combined with chia seeds in foods like oatmeal or almond milk for gut health.
