Ambanis, the Health Coach of Sachin Tendulkar, Discusses the Harmful Aspects of Bread: Identifies It as a Potential Health Risks
Ditch Your Daily Bread? Dr Mickey Mehta Warns It Could Be Harming Your Gut
Are you a daily bread eater, as part of your morning breakfast routine? You might want to think twice, as holistic health coach Dr. Mickey Mehta believes it could pose risks to your gut health.
Many of us might be unknowingly scarfing down a slice or two each day, but Dr. Mehta, who has worked with industrialists and celebrities like the Ambanis and Sachin Tendulkar, thinks we should reconsider. In a recent Instagram post, he declared, "Your gut will become a gutter if you eat bread every day." Let's delve into why his statement is causing a stir.
The Bread Menace and Auto Brewery Syndrome
Dr. Mehta asked, "What percentage of Indians eat bread for breakfast?" - a staggering number, if you consider the responses he usually hears: "I had tea and bread," "I had omelette and bread," "I had jam and bread," or "I had poha and bread."
He particularly cautions against white bread, explaining the connection to a rare but alarming condition called Auto Brewery Syndrome (ABS). This happens when undigested bread turns into ethanol (alcohol), mimicking the feeling of being drunk after excessive alcohol consumption. Dr. Mehta recounted a recent health scare involving his daughter, who felt dizzy and lightheaded after consuming multigrain bread in large quantities.
So, What Is Auto Brewery Syndrome?
People with ABS may experience symptoms similar to alcohol intoxication, including dizziness, confusion, fatigue, impaired coordination, mood swings, unsteady walking, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, irritability, anxiety, and unusual alcohol cravings. If you're predisposed to weakened gut health or immune system issues, the risks of developing ABS from frequent bread consumption are notably higher.
The Solution?
If you find it hard to give up bread completely, Dr. Mehta suggests saving it for only when you're extremely hungry and nothing else is available. For a more effective gut cleanse, he also recommends incorporating Isabgol (psyllium husk) into your routine.
