Do you want to lose weight healthily, naturally and without drastic diets? Try a simple and effective drink made from chia seeds and lemon. This refreshing drink not only fills you up, but also supports fat burning and speeds up metabolism.
Why chia and lemon?
Chia seeds are a rich source of antioxidants, calcium, iron and omega-3 fatty acids. When in contact with water they form a gel that swells in the stomach and creates a feeling of fullness. This helps limit overeating and cravings for unhealthy snacks.
In addition, lemon contains a high amount of vitamin C, which supports the production of serotonin and norepinephrine – hormones that affect mood and directly influence fat burning in the body.
