Stale bread or health ‘superfood’? You might not know these tremendous benefits of eating it with milk. – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: Often in our homes only one or two rotis are left over at night. In the morning, we either throw it in the dustbin or throw it to some animal on the street. We think that if something is not fresh, what benefit will it give to the body? But if I tell you that ‘stale bread’ has more nutrition than fresh bread, would you believe it?

It may sound a bit strange, but in many states of our country, even today, breakfast of milk and stale bread is eaten with great enthusiasm. Now science is also justifying this old tradition.

What changes when bread becomes stale?
In fact, when wheat bread is made and kept for a few hours (about 12-15 hours), the combination of moisture and air present inside it produces some bacteria which prove to be a ‘boon’ for our intestines. This bread gradually starts getting fermented, which increases its nutritional quality.

1. Amazing effect on diabetes and blood pressure
For those who are suffering from diabetes, eating stale bread with cold milk on an empty stomach in the morning is said to be like nectar. It is believed that stale bread helps in controlling the glucose level in the body. Similarly, in case of high blood pressure, consuming stale bread with cold milk helps in maintaining proper blood flow and providing relief to the body.

2. Get rid of stomach irritation and acidity
In today’s fast-paced life, eating outside food and spicy things often causes acidity and burning sensation in the stomach. Eating stale bread early in the morning keeps the stomach cool. The amount of fiber in it is slightly higher than that of fresh bread, which improves digestion and prevents problems like constipation.

3. Will get relief from thinness
If you have been trying for a long time to increase your weight a little or you go to the gym and want to increase your strength, then start eating stale bread with milk. It is a very good source of complex carbohydrates, which provides energy to the body gradually.

4. Maintain correct body temperature
During summer, there is a risk of heatstroke or heat stroke due to increase in body temperature. Consuming stale bread with cold milk is considered very effective in maintaining normal internal temperature of the body.

an important precaution
Here ‘stale’ means bread only 12 to 15 hours old. If there is a smell coming from the roti or any kind of mold is visible in it, then do not eat it at all. Generally, it is completely safe and beneficial to eat roti prepared at night till the next morning or afternoon.

So next time, don’t make the mistake of considering the leftover roti from the night as useless. This can be the cheapest and effective home remedy to improve your health!
