Including chia or flaxseed helps slow sugar absorption. - If you have a peanut allergy, replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or another suitable alternative. - Drink additional purified water throughout the day—don't rely only on juices and smoothies. - If you have kidney disease, consult your healthcare provider before regularly consuming large amounts of coconut water, as it is relatively high in potassium. - If you're taking medications, especially blood thinners, or have digestive conditions, ask your healthcare professional whether large amounts of flaxseed or chia seeds are appropriate for you.
