The first change anyone makes when going on a Weight loss diet is adding ‘BRAN‘ in their diet.
But is Bran really that great & helpful ?
The answer is Yes, it is effective & useful.
But is it for everyone? The answer is No, it’s not.
- For children & for people above 45, Bran does more harm than good as it binds with calcium & other important minerals & throws them out of your system leading to chronic deficiencies.
- People having constipation should avoid too much Bran as it binds with water & leads to chronic constipation.
It is very important to know ‘the DO’s & DONT’S’ of a food before you start including it in your diet.
Pro Tip: People who are advised to add Bran in their diet by a Dietician/ Nutritionist should start with minimal amount & gradually increase the same.
The amount of water intake has to be increased simultaneously in order to avoid any side effects.
Eat Wisely!
