   Simple food but always stomach problems: In many families, sattvik food is used. Even after consuming plenty of green vegetable lentils, Raita salad, many members of the family continue to suffer from various stomach diseases, acidity, gas, indigestion, heaviness in the stomach, flatulence. There can be many reasons for all these problems. But a big reason for stomach related problems is packaged wheat flour because big companies completely filter out the outer shell and fiber of wheat to make soft white and fluffy rotis.

   Inadvertently they are victims of liver and stomach diseases: When wheat flour is consumed without fiber, it causes many problems for the entire digestive system of the body and digestive glands like liver pancreas etc. When rotis made from wheat flour without fiber reach the intestines from the stomach in the human stomach, it collects in the intestines and sticks on the inner wall of the intestines. A lot of effort has to be made by the intestines to send it down to the rectum. Due to which the stomach becomes bloated and foul-smelling adhvayu is formed. There is a sweet sweet pain around the navel. Not only this, even after sitting in the toilet for a long time, the stomach does not get cleaned.

According to medical practitioners, its quantity should be between 4 mg to 50 mg. More than this quantity is injurious to health, but to make white and soft bread and to protect the party from insects and spoilage for months, its quantity in wheat flour is kept much more than the prescribed limit. Due to which our digestive system and body's defense system as well as other important internal organs of the body are also badly affected and we unknowingly get gift of various types of diseases.
