You know, when you’re thinking about switching to something like Multigrain Atta Patanjali, it’s more than just grabbing a bag off the shelf. Your’re looking at how it’ll fit into your family’s daily life, right? So let’s break this down.
Multigrain atta, like the one from Patanjali, combines different grains - typically wheat, barley, ragi, oats, maybe millet. What this does is up the nutritional value, especially in terms of fiber and protein content compared to regular wheat flour. More fiber can indeed help with digestion issues like bloating or constipation that your family faces. The added fiber tends to aid bowel movements by adding bulk - very handy indeed. But remember, for some it could take a little time for the digestive system to adjust to increased fiber, so start slowly if that’s a concern.
Now, on taste and texture, you might notice something different from what you’re used to. Multigrain rotis can be a bit denser and might not get as soft as those made with plain wheat atta. Some folks find this change pleasant, seeing it as heartier, but it might not be same for everyone at your dinner table. You might try mixing with a little more water or adding a bit of fat, like ghee, to get a softer result - it’s a bit of trial and error sometimes.
As for weight management, multigrain atta has a lower glycemic index than regular atta. This means it doesn’t spike your blood sugar as rapidly, keep you full longer and potentially aid in weight loss. But it’s still important to watch portion sizes and overall diet.
Regarding your family’s concern with managing blood sugar, multigrain atta can be a good option for prediabetics. The fibers in it help to slow down sugar absorption, aiding in better control of sugar levels. Still, always good to consult with a healthcare practitioner who knows their full health profiles.
Some people have seen health benefits like improved digestion or weight management over time with regular use of multigrain atta. But as with most things in Ayurveda, it’s highly individual. Try it for a few weeks and see how you and your family feel. Might be a small adjustment period, and for some, that’s all it takes to feel the benefits.
I hope that helps? Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions!
