Popularly known as broken wheat, dalia is a healthy alternative to whole wheat as it contains the outer bran, which makes it an excellent source of dietary fibre. Wondering how fibre helps you stay healthy? Here are 10 reasons for eating fibre rich food. A powerful breakfast option,unlike other cereals, dalia doesn't take a long time to cook. You can prepare many healthy recipes like dalia vegetable upma, dalia kheer or khichdi with this cereal. Here are a few healthy reasons to include dalia in your diet.

#1 Aids in weight loss
The high fibre content in dalia gives you a feeling of fullness and thus, prevents you from binging. Eating a bowl of doodh dalia in the morning provides you 218 calories, which is less than other Indian breakfast options. It makes you feel full and also provides you with the energy required for the rest of the day. Dalia is low in fats that not only aids in weight management but also prevents obesity. So replacing wheat rotis or rice with dalia is not a bad idea to boost yourweight loss efforts. Here are few tips to help you lose weight at home.

#2 Good for diabetics
If you are a diabetic, dalia is a must include food in your diet. It has a low glycemic index and contains complex carbohydrates, which ensure a slow and steady release of glucose into blood thereby preventing your blood sugar levels from spiking. With high fibre content and fewer calories, eating a bowl of dalia when you are hungry helps you to manage blood sugar. A bowl of dalia salad at night or dalia upma in the evening keeps hunger pangs, even night cravings, at bay.

#3 Prevents constipation
A bowl of dalia contains 2.5 gm of fibre that not only helps in the digestion but also prevents constipation. It works by absorbing water from the digestive water and adding bulk to stools. It also improves the consistency of stools, which helps relieve constipation.

#4 Nutritious weaning food
Your baby's transition from breast milk to semi-solid food requires careful planning. A weaning food should be filling as well as easy on the stomach and dalia fits the bill perfectly.
