Got 10 Minutes?

Megan's been adding chia seeds to her water—along with psyllium husk and apple cider vinegar. Danna's intrigued. And just like that, we're off.

Here's what you need to know: two tablespoons of chia seeds deliver 35% of your daily fiber. They absorb up to ten times their weight in liquid, which makes them incredible for digestion—but also means you have to drink more water when you add them to your diet, or they'll pull hydration from your body.

Not into chia pudding? Use them as an egg replacement in baking. Soak them thick and they bind like flour—gluten-free and vegan. Danna's been doing it for years.

One more thing: don't buy them pre-ground. They go rancid fast. Grind them fresh, or just soak them whole.

And yes, we talked about poop. A lot.

That's your 10 minutes.
