That said, let’s see what’s actually inside this mix. The Internal Shower recipe calls for soaking two tablespoons of chia seeds in a glass of water with the juice of a whole lemon. Let the mixture steep for about half an hour, allowing the seeds to release a gel-like substance, and then consume it on an empty stomach.
The most interesting aspect is undoubtedly the presence of chia seeds, small oily seeds rich in fiber, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid, which contribute to a healthy heart and brain. When chia seeds come into contact with water, they absorb up to 12 times their weight in liquid, creating a dense, viscous mass. In the intestine, this “gelatin” acts like a mechanical brush, stimulating peristalsis and increasing the volume of stool, facilitating its expulsion.
