Do you have bread for breakfast every day, possibly without giving it much thought?  Unaware of the potential long-term health effects, many of us go for that comforting slice.
 
Holistic health coach Dr. Mickey Mehta frequently shares health and wellness-related information with his instagram family. Mid-Day claims that he served as a wellness coach for several well-known celebrities and businessmen, including sachin tendulkar and the Ambanis.
 
He brazenly wrote, "If you eat bread every day, your gut will become a gutter," in his post from february 21.  Here's why he thinks you should reconsider your daily bread consumption.

Dangers of Daily Bread Consumption
Asking, "What percentage of indians eat bread for breakfast?" he begins by emphasizing how usual it is for individuals to eat bread as part of their morning routine.  When he asks people what they had for breakfast, he says he frequently gets answers like "I had tea and bread," "I had omelet and bread," "I had jam and bread," or even "I had poha and bread."
 
"The most dangerous thing you can ever eat is white bread," he continues.  Recently, I had auto-brewery syndrome with my daughter. Next, Dr. Mehta shares the tale of his daughter's medical emergency.  She described the sudden lightheadedness and dizziness as feeling "high, like alcohol."  

What is auto Brewery Syndrome
At first, it appeared to be an isolated incidence, but the next day, things became more serious.  Fortunately, everything went well once they hurried her to the hospital.  However, Dr. Mehta claims that they quickly discovered that she had been eating a lot of multigrain bread, which caused what he refers to as "Auto Brewery Syndrome."
 
He clarifies that "Auto Brewery Syndrome means undigested bread turns into ethanol, or alcohol, which gives you the kind of feeling you get when you've had too much alcohol."  "It's not just about avoiding auto Brewery Syndrome, it's about avoiding bread completely because bread can literally kill you," Dr. Mehta says, urging his followers to reconsider their bread habit.  Whether bread is toasted or not, it still suffocates your intestines.

What's the solution?
If you can't give up bread, Dr. Mehta advises eating it only when you're really hungry and have nothing else to eat.  Additionally, he suggests adding psyllium husk, or Isabgol, to your regimen.  "Isabgol can be had at night or first thing in the morning, so the sandwich effect of the swollen psyllium husk helps to cleanse your intestines and pushes the bread out."
