Tezzbuzz Desk- Wheat flour roti is one of the most consumed items in Indian kitchen. From breakfast to dinner, most people’s plate is considered incomplete without wheat bread. But for some time now, the “No Wheat Flour” trend is becoming increasingly viral on social media. Many fitness experts and health influencers are advising to remove wheat flour from the diet.

In such a situation, a question is arising in the minds of people whether wheat flour can really be harmful for the body?

What do health experts say?

According to health experts, wheat flour is not harmful for every person. But if it is consumed in excessive quantity or in the wrong way, it can have negative effects on the body.

According to doctors, wheat is a complex carbohydrate, which has high amount of gluten. People who are allergic to gluten or require a gluten-free diet should avoid consuming wheat.

Experts say that if a person eats only wheat flour bread repeatedly throughout the day, it can increase the blood sugar in the body rapidly. If this happens continuously, the risk of weight gain, fatty liver and metabolic problems may increase. Especially people suffering from diabetes or obesity are advised to be careful in choosing their flour.

Is it necessary to completely stop wheat flour?

Doctors say that there is no need to give up wheat flour completely. Rather, eating it in balanced quantity and by mixing it with other grains can be more beneficial.

Benefits of mixing different flours

• sorghum flour Mixing can reduce the glycemic index, which is considered better for sugar patients.
• millet flour It is rich in protein and fiber, which can help in controlling weight.
• ragi flour Considered a good source of iron and calcium.

How to consume healthy?

Experts recommend that instead of relying only on wheat, using multigrain flour can be a better option. Apart from this, including salad, pulses and protein items along with roti provides balanced nutrition to the body.

It is not necessary to follow every trend

It is not right to blindly follow every health trend going on social media. Before completely removing anything from the diet, advice from a doctor or nutrition expert should be taken. Wheat flour, consumed in the right quantity and in the right way, is still considered an important part of a balanced Indian diet.
