Today I am posting one of the healthy breakfast which I experimented myself. To my amazement, it came out very well. Jowar is a very good source of proteins and it contains essential nutrients like iron, calcium and phosphorous. It also contains vitamin B. It is also gluten free.
Consuming jowar reduces the bad cholesterol effectively. Jowar is recommended for patients with diabetes due to the nutrients which double up as antioxidants. The presence of iron and copper helps regulate proper blood circulation, which fuels cell growth, hair repair and enhances overall functioning of the body.
