Islamabad: (RightNow) Bread is a staple in our daily meals, but not all flour is equally beneficial for health. Different flours contain varying amounts of fiber, protein, and calcium.

Experts state that refined flour is harmful to health as it lacks fiber. Its consumption can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar and lead to weight gain.

Regular wheat flour is better than refined flour, but it contains less fiber and more calories. It is not an ideal choice for those with obesity and diabetes.

Millet and sorghum flour are high in fiber and gluten-free. They help in maintaining blood sugar levels.

It is important to note that ragi flour is excellent for health due to its high calcium content and slow absorption of carbohydrates in the body.
