I have been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure. Chia seeds are extremely
nutritious and have been proven to have various medical properties. I would like

Generally speaking, chia seeds can be drunk by kidney failure patients. As
for the reason, I will explain it to you all in details.

diabetes, but you also ensure steady, constant energy throughout your day.
2. Digestive benefits
