How Jowar / Sorghum aids in weight loss

Jowar is an excellent grain for weight loss due to its high fiber content and low glycemic index, as found in a study published in Food Research International. Here’s how it helps, as explained by the expert.

1. High fiber content

Jowar is rich in dietary fiber, which promotes a feeling of fullness, reducing overall calorie intake and preventing overeating. This fiber also aids digestion and prevents constipation, which can be a barrier to effective weight management.

2. Low glycemic index

Jowar has a low glycemic index, meaning it releases glucose slowly into the bloodstream, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels. This prevents sudden spikes in insulin levels, reducing fat storage and cravings.

3. High in protein

Jowar is a good source of plant-based protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. Protein also helps in boosting metabolism, aiding in more efficient calorie burning.

4. Rich in nutrients

Jowar provides essential vitamins and minerals that support overall health, making it easier to stick to a balanced, nutrient-rich diet while losing weight.

Who should avoid jowar or sorghum recipes?

While jowar is generally healthy, some people should avoid or limit their intake:

• Individuals with low iron levels: Jowar contains phytates, which can interfere with iron absorption. People with anaemia or low iron levels should consume jowar in moderation and ensure they get enough iron from other sources.
• Those with grain allergies: Although jowar is gluten free, individuals with a general grain allergy or intolerance should be cautious and consult with a healthcare provider before including it in their diet.
• People with digestive issues: The high fiber content in jowar can be difficult to digest for some, especially those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive disorders. It’s best to introduce jowar gradually into the diet.
• Individuals on a low-carb diet: Jowar is a carbohydrate-rich grain, so those on a strict low-carb or ketogenic diet may want to avoid it.
