Food is meant to provide the complete nutrition. Unfortunately we are
in a habit of filling the stomach with what tastes savory to the tongue instead
of what feels good to the gut. Gradually the body’s health gets deteriorated as
the food just fills the stomach and is not capable of providing the required
nutrition. We eat, eat, & eat without trying to find out that either the food
is healthy or crappy.

All that dining out!
At each and every dining outlet; breads, chappatiz, parathas, naanz, puriz, sandwiches,
pizzas, burgers, or anything you name it are made up of white flour or
standard flour or maida in unhealthy fats & oils with an unhealthy fashion. It may feel flavorful to
the tongue, but if we eat mindfully the case is contrary; i.e. it feels like
vomiting it out. Standard flour or maida is just meant to satisfy the cravings
and it defies us so that we feel full at belly & fulfilled in mind. But do
we know what harm it is causing to our body?

Standard flour or maida or white flour is like…
Maida is like you have a flower without fragrance & the flower
itself is unpleasant. It may look nice but won’t give you the desired
specification that you were looking for in your daily nutrition. Why standard
flour is white? Because it is obviously short of some nutrients. Those
nutrients include fiber from bran, germ, & others that are not present in standard flour
which makes its cookeries aesthetically tempting but devoid of basic nutrition like vitamins
& minerals.

Store bought whole-wheat or bran bread?
The variety of breads available in stores also contain large amount of standard flour in those. They have whole-wheat flour & some whole grains but for
texture & lightness maida is used. But when whole-wheat flour is used
especially for baking at home, it is not too textured or fluffy as compared to
store bought whole-wheat varieties.

Cook at home!
The best way to incorporate whole-wheat flour into your diet is to buy
a good quality & authentic whole-wheat flour which is generally called chakki
ka aata. Make bread, roti, chappati, paratha, poori, pizza base, burger buns, and
pretty much anything with that. It will be homemade & consumption of small
amount will keep you fuller while providing nutrients. On the contrary store
bought standard flour or maida preparations are to be consumed a lot to satisfy
your hunger & it is obviously without nutrition.
