  • Is maida really as bad as people say? A fitness coach debunks the myth that maida sticks to your stomach and shares tips to enjoy it wisely without worry.

The article from MSN India discusses the common myth that "maida" (refined wheat flour) sticks to the stomach, as debunked by fitness coach Kushal Pal Singh. He explains that while maida does not physically stick to the stomach, it can lead to digestive issues due to its low fiber content and high glycemic index, which can cause constipation, bloating, and a sluggish digestive system. Singh clarifies that the feeling of food sticking might be due to these digestive problems rather than the flour itself adhering to the stomach walls. He also notes that maida, being highly processed, lacks essential nutrients, leading to health concerns like increased blood sugar levels and weight gain when consumed in excess. However, he reassures that moderate consumption, balanced with a diet rich in fiber, can mitigate these effects.
