Aids digestion and reduces bloating
Chia seeds contain high levels of soluble fiber, which helps improve bowel movements and prevent constipation - a common problem during Tet due to unscientific eating.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the fiber in chia seeds acts as a prebiotic, nourishing beneficial intestinal bacteria, thereby supporting more effective digestion.
When combined with vitamin C in oranges, this drink helps reduce bloating and discomfort after Tet parties.
Boost immune system
Oranges are a rich source of vitamin C, which helps boost immunity and fight infections, especially during the changing seasons.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends supplementing with foods rich in vitamin C such as oranges to reduce the risk of colds and flu.
Chia seeds, with antioxidant compounds such as quercetin, also help protect cells from free radicals, supporting a healthy body during the busy Tet holidays.
Helps control weight
Chia seed orange juice is a great choice for those who want to control their weight during Tet. The fiber in chia seeds expands when exposed to water, creating a feeling of fullness for a long time, helping to reduce food intake.
According to research from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adding foods rich in fiber helps control appetite and effectively supports weight loss.
Support heart health
Chia seeds contain plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and increase good cholesterol (HDL).
When combined with potassium in oranges - a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure, this drink is great for heart health.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), maintaining a diet rich in potassium and omega-3s can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and stroke.
Detoxify the body
Orange juice with its natural cooling properties, combined with the toxin-absorbing ability of the fiber in chia seeds, is an ideal drink to purify the body.
According to the National Institute of Nutrition of India (NIN), orange juice supports the detoxification process of the liver and kidneys, while chia seeds help eliminate waste through the digestive tract, helping the body feel lighter and healthier after days of overeating.
