This is what happens to the body if you replace wheat with millet for 30 days

Are these true?

Millet is quite popular these days due to its range of health benefits. Adding millets to your diet can be rewarding as they are rich in fibre and jam-packed with nutrients like magnesium, iron, and B vitamins.

Swapping wheat with millet can be a great choice, stressed Jinal Patel, dietitian at Zynova Shalby Hospital Mumbai. “Wheat has gluten, which makes it more harmful to your body. Gluten can lead to bloating, increased weight gain, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, and migraine,” said Patel.

When eaten regularly, millet can improve digestion while helping manage your weight. “It can also keep you full longer and provide long-lasting energy. If you are someone who is sensitive towards gluten or has celiac disease, then you should strictly avoid things that contain gluten, including wheat,” said Patel.
