It facilitates digestion, increases transit and relieves constipation problems. Quite ambitious for a drink consisting mainly of water, lemon juice and chia seeds! But is it really effective? And above all without health risks?
The internal shower, the Destop drink for the colon
Popularized by nutritionist Daryl Gioffre in the podcast The Skinny Confidential Him & Herthe recipe for the internal shower is simple: just put two tablespoons of chia seeds in a large glass of water, add the juice of a slice of lemon and then wait about five minutes for the seeds to swell before drinking the mixture, at once and on an empty stomach.
According to the doctor, who calls this blend his “anti-constipation hit”, the effects on transit would be rapid and a large number of testimonials collected on TikTok agree on the effectiveness of this cocktail.
Chia seeds are a very high source of fiber.
Fiber is a carbohydrate that the body cannot digest and is very important for promoting digestion. Chia seeds contain, among other things, an insoluble fiber that attracts water and turns into a gel during digestion, which adds volume to the stool and helps it pass more easily.
According to Dr. Chokshi, when you combine chia seeds with a “large volume of liquid, such as a glass of water, [cela peut aider] the colon to move. The combination of this high fiber content and a liquid filler helps [à aller aux toilettes ] “.
Is the indoor shower dangerous to health?
If this drink can be interesting ad hoc and in the context of a balanced diet, be careful not to abuse it and to respect the recommended dose of two tablespoons: being rich in fiber, excessive use of chia seeds can cause digestive disorders, such as swelling and bouts of diarrhea. A food allergy may also be possible, although rare.
We also take this opportunity to remind you that this type of drink with laxative properties should not be consumed in excess in the hope of losing weight. A practice that, for once, would be really dangerous to health.
