Dr. Saurabh Sethi, MD, a gastroenterologist and hepatologist, claims that he consumes two seeds soaked overnight in the morning to maintain his gut health. Let's identify the seeds:

Soak seeds overnight for a healthy stomach

As a gastroenterologist, Dr. Saurabh posted a video on May 15 in which he discussed the two seeds he eats every day to maintain his gut health. Basil seeds, commonly known as sabja, and chia seeds are the two varieties of seeds. The proper method for eating the seeds was also described by him. "I soak one tablespoon of each every night and eat them the following morning," he stated.

1. Chia seeds

According to Dr Sethi, chia seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight in water, forming a gel that supports digestion and regular bowel movements.

2. Basil seeds

Meanwhile, basil or sabja seeds act as a natural coolant for our body. He said that they also reduce bloating and are packed with fibre content, which is ‘food for our gut microbiome’.

It is also important to know the nutritional value that both chia and basil seeds carry before consuming them. According to Mansi Padechia, a PCOS dietitian and nutritionist, 20 g of basil seeds offer 2 g of protein, 7 g of fibre, and 7 g of carbs. Meanwhile, 20 g of chia seeds have a nutritional value of 3 g of protein, 5 g of fibre, and 5 g of carbs. As for weight loss, chia seeds are a great ally as they are more nutrient-dense, making them more beneficial for your weight loss journey. Know more about these seeds here.
