Maida, also known as refined wheat flour, holds a significant role in Indian cuisine, but lacks vital nutrients and dietary fibre. So, when you give up maida for a month, several good changes can potentially occur in your body.
- Quitting maida for a month can lead to improved digestion and reduced bloating.
- Maida helps stabilise blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of insulin resistance.
- Maida products tend to be calorie-dense and contribute to weight gain
- Replacing maida with whole grains and other nutrients is likely to increase nutrient intake.
- Whole grains and alternatives can provide sustained energy release, reducing energy crashes often associated with consuming refined carbs like maida.
