Drink This on an Empty Stomach and Forget Bloating: Chia, Flaxseed, and Lemon

 n the world of natural remedies, few combinations have created as much buzz as the mix of chia seeds, flaxseed, and lemon. Often called the “homemade lipo drink”, this simple beverage is popular for supporting digestion, helping reduce belly bloating, and giving the metabolism a gentle, natural boost.
