Parotta: Comfort Food or Gut Health Risk? Doctors Warn Against Maida-Based Delicacy

• Parotta, a popular comfort food, is often made with maida (refined flour), posing potential health risks.
• Maida is low in natural fiber, which can lead to slow digestion, constipation, gas, and bloating.
• High oil/ghee content makes Parottas calorie-dense, contributing to weight gain, high cholesterol, and metabolic disorders.
• Regular consumption of processed grains and low-fiber foods is linked to increased risk of colon-related diseases.
• Experts recommend moderation, opting for whole grains, fiber-rich foods, exercise, and adequate water for gut health.
