An important factor in enhancing health is seeds

An important factor in enhancing health is seeds

Seeds are rich in nutrients. They significantly contribute to bettering intestinal health as well as general health. Fiber, good fats, and a host of other vital elements that support gut health and digestion are all found in seeds. Constipation is avoided and regular bowel motions are encouraged by dietary fiber. Fiber serves as a prebiotic as well. Chia seeds are rich in soluble fibre and form a gel when soaked, slowing down sugar absorption and aiding digestion.

Long COVID leaves lasting damage, study finds

While many now view COVID-19 as a mild, short-term illness, a new Australian study reveals a very different reality for those living with long COVID—ongoing symptoms lasting three months or more after infection.

Most were never hospitalised, yet months or even years later, they continued to struggle with significant fatigue, brain fog, and breathlessness—symptoms that deeply affect daily life.
