In India, wheat flour (gehu ka atta) is a staple in every meal. But according to Dr. Saleem, the commonly available hybrid wheat can harm health over time because it’s often genetically modified using gamma rays, X-rays, and chemicals. Regular consumption may lead to obesity, diabetes, thyroid imbalance, and gluten intolerance.
🌾 Why Only Wheat Is Not EnoughTraditional Indian diets included multiple grains like millet, barley, and chickpeas, which provided balanced nutrition. Dr. Saleem suggests that mixing a few natural grains into your daily flour can turn it into a superfood that boosts immunity and prevents chronic illnesses.
🥣 Four Ingredients for the Healthiest FlourChickpeas (Chana) – Rich in protein and fiber, controls cholesterol and blood sugar.
Barley (Jau) – Detoxifies the body and supports kidney health.
Finger Millet (Ragi) – Loaded with calcium, strengthens bones, aids diabetes control.
Pearl Millet (Bajra) – High in iron, improves digestion and energy levels.
-  Wheat – 10 parts 
-  Chickpeas – 2.5 parts 
-  Barley – 2 parts 
-  Ragi – 1 part 
-  Bajra – 1 part 
Wash and sun-dry all grains. Grind each separately, store in airtight jars, and mix in the given ratio before making rotis. Avoid storing mixed flour for more than a week to prevent spoilage.
💡 Health BenefitsThis natural blend strengthens the immune system, balances hormones, and protects against heart disease, arthritis, and obesity. A small dietary change can bring long-term wellness and vitality.
