Health Tips: Do you eat flour bread lying in the fridge? So beware! It can cause major damage to the intestines

Fridge Stored Dough Side Effects: In today's hectic life, people lack time. Especially working women and housewives pack dough in the fridge at night or early in the morning to save time in the morning. This practice has now become common in the Indian kitchen. On the surface, this habit seems innocent and convenient, but did you know that frozen flour is slowly ruining your digestive health?

Fresh and hot food is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. But when you make bread from refrigerated flour, it may look good on the plate, but it can become a problem for 'gut health' when it goes into the body. Let's know what science and Ayurveda have to say about this

1. The fermentation process continues 

Many people believe that bacteria stop working in the cooling of the fridge, but this is not true. The activity of natural yeast continues even in the fridge.

Chemical Changes: Due to this process, gas and organic acids start to form in the flour. As a result, the taste of the flour becomes slightly sour and its chemical composition changes, which puts a strain on the digestive system><

2. Gas and bloating 

If the flour is stored for more than 24 hours, it weakens gluten.

Digestion Difficulties: Roti made from such flour is hard to digest and stays in the stomach for a long time. This causes a person to suffer from gas, acidity & bloating (Gas, Acidity & Stomach bloating). Problems like bloating

3. Gluten breakdown and effect on the intestines (Gluten Breakdown);

Too much fermentation causes the gluten in the flour to break down.

laziness: This not only makes it difficult to knit bread, but it also makes it difficult for the body to process it. People whose digestive system is sensitive feel lethargic and heaviness after eating

4. Nutritional Loss 

Fresh flour is rich in vitamins and minerals. But if kept in the fridge for a long time, its nutritional value starts to decrease.

stale food: This type of bread only fills the stomach but does not provide the necessary energy to the body. In Ayurveda too, such foods are described as 'stale' and have low prana.

5. Increase in blood sugar level (Blood Sugar Spike) 

This is one of the biggest warnings for diabetic patients.

Faster digestion: Fermented flour for a long time breaks down starch faster. When you eat such bread, it goes into the body and is immediately converted into sugar, which can lead to a sudden spike in blood sugar levels
