4+ hour, 4+ min ago (188+ words) Bread is a staple in many Delhi homes, but not all bread is equal for your gut. While white bread is soft and easy to eat, whole wheat bread keeps more fibre and nutrients intact. So, which one should you really choose for healthy digestion? Let's break it down.

Eggs shine when it comes to faster muscle repair. Their amino acid profile especially leucine helps stimulate muscle protein…...
