\u201cChoosing the right grain can truly transform your health, but one size doesn\u2019t fit all,\u201d says Khushi, emphasising that every type of roti comes with its own set of benefits and precautions. \u201cFrom ragi to jowar, each grain has unique nutritional \u2018superpowers\u2019 along with specific watch-outs that people should be mindful of,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

1. Ragi roti<\/p>\n

\u201cRagi is excellent for weight loss<\/a> and bone health due to its high calcium and fibre content,\u201d says Khushi. \u201cHowever, those with kidney stones or hypothyroidism should consume it in moderation.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Makki roti<\/p>\n

\u201cMakki supports eye and skin health and is naturally gluten-free and easy to digest,\u201d she explains, adding that people with diabetes should be mindful of portion sizes.<\/p>\n

3. Bajra roti<\/p>\n

\u201cBajra keeps the body warm and is rich in iron and protein,\u201d Khushi notes. \u201cBut individuals with weak digestion<\/a> should avoid having it late at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Atta (wheat) roti<\/p>\n

\u201cWhole wheat roti is high in fibre and B-complex vitamins,\u201d she says, \u201cbut it may not suit those with IBS or coeliac disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Jowar roti<\/p>\n

\u201cJowar is a great option for managing diabetes and supporting weight loss,\u201d Khushi adds, calling it a smart everyday grain choice.<\/p>\n
