keeps you full

Keeps you full for longer

Garlic is not the only food with useful nutrients. Roti especially whole wheat roti can also provide important nutrients and may have some benefits when eaten after cooling.

May help control blood sugar

When cooked roti cools down some of its starch can change into resistant starch.  Research has found that roti kept for about 24 hours may contain more resistant starch than fresh roti.

This type of starch is digested differently from regular starch and may help reduce the rise in blood sugar after a meal.  However more research is still needed.

Good for digestion

resistant starch can support healthy bacteria in the large intestine.  If the roti is made from whole wheat flour its fiber may also help prevent constipation and support better digestion.

Keeps you full for longer

The fiber and resistant starch in roti may help you feel full for a longer time.  Eating it with healthy foods such as yogurt eggs or vegetables can make it a more balanced breakfast.

A nutritious breakfast option

Whole-wheat roti contains fiber vitamins and minerals making it a useful part of a healthy and balanced breakfast.

Important note

Stale roti is not automatically healthier than fresh roti.  Its nutritional value depends on the type of flour how the roti is prepared and how safely it is stored. Always make sure stored roti is kept properly to avoid spoilage.

  • Humans may live up to 194 Years

    How long can a human live? No one knows the exact answer but scientists believe there is a natural limit to the human lifespan. According to a study a person could possibly live as long as 194 years although reaching that age would be extremely rare. Researchers say living forever is not possible. Even if science discovers new ways to slow aging the body cannot avoid the natural damage that builds up over time. The study published in the journal Nature looked at how our DNA and genes change throughout life. Scientists found that many genetic changes are harmless but some damage cells and reduce how well they work. Over time this damage increases the risk of age related diseases. The researchers explained that these genetic changes cannot be completely prevented.  They happen naturally when cells divide and can also be caused by viruses certain chemicals and ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight. To estimate the maximum human lifespan the team created a scientific model that included reversible signs of aging while keeping permanent genetic changes in place. The results suggested that even if future technology slows the aging process the longest a human could live would likely be between 146 and 194 years. Scientists also noted that some organs such as the skin and liver regularly replace old cells helping repair some damage. However the heart and brain do not replace most of their cells making genetic damage in these organs much harder to reverse. The researchers stressed that genetic changes are not always harmful but as they build up over time they may gradually shorten a person’s lifespan. They also believe that other biological processes may affect aging and more research is needed to better understand them. At present the longest confirmed human lifespan belongs to Jeanne Calment of France who died in 1997 at the age of 122 years making her the oldest verified person in recorded history.

  • Natural sugar may help cancer spread, study finds

    A new study has revealed that fructose (natural sugar) consumed as part of the daily diet may help certain types of cancer spread throughout the body. According to the study published in the scientific journal Nature Aging, cancer cells that survive chemotherapy do not remain inactive. Instead, they release fructose which activates other cancer cells allowing them to leave their original location and spread to other parts of the body. Experts say that excessive consumption of sugary drinks and beverages containing high levels of fructose may also increase the risk of cancer spreading even in patients who are not undergoing chemotherapy. The study further found that fructose causes changes inside cancer cells that make it easier for them to move from one part of the body to another. The research was conducted on ovarian cancer but experts believe that a similar process could also occur in pancreatic, colorectal and liver cancers.

  • Millions to witness rare total solar eclipse

    Millions of people Millions of people around the world will have the chance to watch a rare total solar eclipse on August 12. According to astronomers the total eclipse will be visible in Greenland Iceland Spain, parts of the North Atlantic Ocean and northern Russia. In these places the Moon will completely cover the Sun allowing people to see the Sun’s outer atmosphere known as the corona for a short time. The eclipse will not be visible in Arab countries. However several areas in North Africa, especially parts of West Africa will experience a very large partial solar eclipse. In Algeria the Moon is expected to cover about 96% of the Sun making it one of the best places in Africa to view the event. In Rabat, Morocco around 88% of the Sun will be covered. Tunisia is expected to see about 50% coverage while Mauritania could see around 46%. Astronomers have warned people not to look directly at the Sun during the eclipse as it can seriously damage the eyes. They advise using certified solar eclipse glasses or other safe viewing equipment around the world will have the chance to watch a rare total solar eclipse on August 12.

  • Quitting tobacco and cutting salt may delay dementia

    Health experts say that quitting tobacco and reducing salt intake can help lower the risk of dementia, a condition associated with cognitive decline and memory loss. According to experts, these measures can help keep blood pressure within a healthy range and maintain stable blood sugar levels which may contribute to dementia prevention. A new study conducted in the United States found that if people adopt three healthy habits during middle age — maintaining normal blood pressure, keeping blood sugar levels under control and avoiding smoking — the onset of dementia could potentially be delayed by around 13 years. Researchers at New York University also found that dementia tends to develop later in women than in men regardless of their risk factors. More than 900,000 people in the United Kingdom are currently living with dementia. The condition is among the leading causes of death in the country accounting for more than 74,000 deaths every year. Most cases of dementia occur in people over the age of 65 while the risk of developing the condition approximately doubles every five years after the age of 65. However, growing scientific research suggests that dementia is not necessarily an inevitable part of ageing and that it can be prevented to a significant extent. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, such as exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy body weight, can reduce the risk of dementia by more than 45%. A recent study by scientists at NYU Langone Health further suggests that if people maintain key health markers during middle age, they may be able to delay the onset of dementia by more than a decade.

  • Viral video highlights risky school route in India

    Millions of children around the world go to school every day but for some simply reaching the classroom can be a dangerous journey. In India a viral video has raised concerns after showing schoolchildren taking a highly risky route to get to school in Madhya Pradesh’s Vidisha district. The students reportedly have to jump across a river embankment to reach their school while strong water flows below. The dangerous journey has shocked people on social media and raised serious questions about the safety of the children. Parents and local residents say there is no safe route for the children to reach school forcing them to take the dangerous path every day. The situation becomes even more risky during the rainy season when the water level and flow increase. Locals have urged the authorities to inspect the area immediately and provide a safe and permanent route for the students instead of waiting for a tragic accident to happen.
