You know of chia seed pudding—a delectable combination of chia seeds, milk, and any other topping that turns it into a deliciously healthy treat. But have you heard of chia seed water? If you've scrolled through social media recently, it's likely.
Searches for «chia seed water» on Pinterest increased by four times this week. It's tricky to tell exactly why the drink started trending, but you can find a few TikTok videos that have racked up millions of views, and most rave about its health benefits.

Why overnight NHS stays need urgent attention for both staff and patients
Six NHS staff have worked for an hour tonight to help a very angry, psychologically troubled man who, from his abusive language, definitely doesn’t want to be helped. I’ve not seen the Noddy Holder voiced gentleman at the end of the ward, but he’s very loud and very abusive.

I visualise this noisy chap as a large viking, such is the depth of his voice.
