Jowar is considered an excellent alternative for people with Gluten intolerance or Celiac disease or even those on a Gluten-free diet for weight loss.
In addition, it is also a powerhouse of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals like Calcium, Copper, Zinc, Phosphorus, Potassium, and cell-building B vitamins.
It is a complex carbohydrate and has a low glycemic index, which means it digests slowly, thus leading to maintaining blood sugar levels.
Jowar is rich in Magnesium, which further increases Calcium absorption in the body and maintains Bone health.
Jowar contains a good amount of Iron in the form of non-haem iron. Thus, adding or pairing white millet with Vitamin C-rich foods will improve Haemoglobin levels.
This helps keep the hunger pangs at bay and reduces excess food consumption, thus helping weight loss.
Incorporate this excellent grain into your diet to reap the maximum benefits. Consult a dietician before making any changes to your diet.
