Got 10 Minutes? Megan's been adding chia seeds to her water—along with psyllium husk and apple cider vinegar. Danna's intrigued. And just like that, we're off.

They absorb up to ten times their weight in liquid, which makes them incredible for digestion—but also means you have to drink more water when you add them to your diet, or they'll pull hydration from your body. Not into chia pudding? Use them a...
