‘Your stomach will become…’: Mukesh Ambani’s former health coach Dr. Mickey Mehta gives serious warning against consumption of bread
Are you among those who consume bread as their staple breakfast meal? If yes, then you need to pause and rethink. This easy and puffy item is a daily breakfast option for the majority of Indian households however, it is not as healthy as you think.
Health coach Dr. Mickey Mehta, who has worked with top families such as the Ambanis, Birlas, and even Sachin Tendulkar, recently expressed his worries regarding the daily bread consumption. In a series of comments and a social media post, he made some stern warnings regarding its effect on digestion and overall well-being in the long run.
According to Dr. Mehta, consuming white bread daily can cause gut imbalance and toxicity, eventually turning your stomach into a “gutter”. The health coach further added that white bread is one of the most dangerous yet commonly consumed foods due to its highly processed nature and lack of nutritional value.
Recalling a disturbing experience, Dr. Mehta spoke about an experience when his own daughter became dizzy after going overboard with multigrain bread consumption. During medical examination, physicians diagnosed her with Auto-Brewery Syndrome, an unusual condition where undigested carbohydrates ferment in the intestine and produce alcohol-like symptoms. The startling discovery pointed out the hidden risk of processed carbohydrates.
Dr. Mehta also stressed that if one cannot completely stop having bread, one should have it only when they are very hungry and do not have anything else to eat. He suggests having it with psyllium husk (Isabgol) at night or in the morning to cleanse the intestines.
He also cautioned that the gut is most affected by regular bread consumption and that it can significantly interfere with digestion. He said that bread, particularly white bread, is fiber-deficient, causes bloating, raises blood sugar, and could even be a cause of long-term health issues.
According to research, it has also been found that this high-carb, low-nutrition item also has a high glycemic index that can lead to a spike in blood sugar level, heart diseases, and obesity if overconsumed.
While it may increase your serotonin and make you feel content, it may be adversely affecting your digestive health. The next time you grab a slice, it may be worth taking a moment and asking: Is this truly the best option for my body?
