I meet so many women and men with the annoying abdominal obesity - Potbelly.

- they love chapati ( Wheat) and beer (barley).

Did you know that apart from making you obese, your chapati is addictive?

Thread about wheat...

#BetterTogether

The intestinal environment of the Homosapien was never fashioned to digest cereals.

Modern wheat is genetically modified, highly hybridized, chemically engineered and finely processed.

While growing up,

Wheat was eaten once or twice a year.

Nowadays, people eat wheat thrice a day. This is catastrophic.

Still, in our childhood, the dough was left to rise for 12 hours/ overnight. Today, you rise dough and 10 minutes later, chapati is ready.

Modern wheat has:

+ Super Starch : Amylopectin A which is super fattening.

+ Super Gluten which is super inflammatory.

+ Super drug which is highly addictive making you crave for more chapati/Pizza/ bread.

1. Super starch:
Amylopectin is a water-insoluble polysaccharide.

Unlike others, it is easily absorbed and raises Insulin.

This predisposes you to hyperinsulinaemia and Diabetes T2.

Remember, wheat is a highly refined simple carb. Deadly!

2. Super Gluten:

Gluten is a sticky substance.

It triggers intestinal inflammation leading to

+ Celiac Disease

+ Inflammatory Bowel syndrome

+ Intestinal autoimmunity. < intestinal production of antibodies to fight gluten which in turn destroy the intestines.

3. Super drug

Wheat is an addictive appetite stimulate.

The peptides in wheat are converted into exorphins which penetrates the brain barrier to mimic morphine.

These 'gluteomorphins' lead to addictive eating behaviour including cravings & bingeing.

If you are struggling with obesity,

If you have inexplicable bloating,

If you suffer abdominal discomfort after eating bread,

If you faeces are unusually black and horribly smelly,

Consider quitting wheat.
