21 Health Benefits of Chia Seeds

2.  Sleep

Have you ever woken up in the morning feeling (and looking) rough? There are a number of reasons for this but one of the biggest culprits is dehydration. Simply: when you’ve gone all night without drinking, your body will be dehydrated and that will result in your skin appearing thinner (due to a lack of fluid retention), your head hurting and bags forming under your eyes.

In fact, dehydration is even what causes morning breath: which itself is a result of not producing saliva during the night. Saliva is naturally disinfectant and is responsible for killing off the bacteria in our mouths that make us smelly!

Consuming some chia seeds with some water just before bed then should help you to sleep better and to wake up feeling hydrated.
