Friends, nowadays, due to busy schedules, people have reduced home-cooked meals and prefer to eat at restaurants or enjoy street food. These foods are delicious and convenient, but due to the use of contaminated oil and refined flour, they often carry hidden health risks. Let's learn about the disadvantages of consuming refined flour.
Why is refined flour harmful:
Increases body fat: Refined flour is a major factor in fat accumulation, especially around the abdomen and waist, leading to obesity.
Causes metabolic disorders: Regular consumption of refined flour can disrupt the body's metabolism, increasing the risk of diseases like diabetes.
Increases the risk of heart disease: It increases bad cholesterol (triglycerides) in the body, making one more susceptible to heart disease.
Lack of nutrients: Refined flour contains almost no nutrients or fiber, providing only empty calories and no health benefits.
Weakens immunity: Regular consumption can weaken the body's natural defenses, making it easier to get sick.
Raises blood sugar levels: Due to its high glycemic index, refined flour can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, which can be dangerous over time.
