Actress Rakul Preet Singh has shared that she has been consuming jowar or ragi flour instead of traditional wheat flour for the past decade. She believes this dietary choice, which involves substituting the flour in staple dishes like dal and sabzi, supports gut health, which she refers to as the body's 'second brain.' Dietitians note that these gluten-free millets are rich in fiber, aiding digestion, satiety, and blood sugar regulation, potentially reducing risks of obesity and diabetes. Jowar offers complex carbohydrates and protein, while ragi is a good source of calcium and iron.
