Higher glycemic index (GI: 77) means this can cause blood sugar spikes. The refined carbohydrates contribute to rapid glucose absorption. Diabetics should consume smaller portions and always pair with protein and fiber to slow digestion.
Low protein content (3g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.
Low cholesterol (2.4mg) and low saturated fat (2.8g) make this heart-friendly. Anti-inflammatory ingredients benefit overall heart health. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.
Moderate-to-high GI (77) can spike insulin — Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response. Consider replacing refined ingredients with whole grains or millets.
No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions. The spices aid digestion, which can be sluggish in hypothyroidism.
