The other day, my schoolmate told me, “Avoid gluten—it helps your skin glow!
Many follow gluten-free diets because of trends, not real health needs. But is cutting out Roti, a staple for many, really necessary?
Gluten-free is marketed as “healthy,” even for those without intolerance. Western influencers promoted it, making it a global trend.
But your body’s functions depend on gluten-containing compounds like:
Glutamine – Supports gut lining repair and immune function.
Gliadin – Helps in nutrient absorption and digestion.
Amylopectin – Provides slow-releasing energy for sustained metabolism.
Tip: Instead of eliminating gluten, focus on unprocessed grains like whole wheat, barley, or millets. Combine them with fiber-rich foods to aid digestion and balance metabolism.
What’s your experience with gluten? Did cutting it help or was it just a trend?
