These people should not eat radish parathas
According to experts, radish parathas should be eaten in very limited quantities during pregnancy. Apart from this, people with high BP should avoid radish parathas, because to make parathas, radish is first kept with salt so that its water gets drained out and then salt is also added to radish to balance the taste of the flour. At the same time, it is already rich in sodium. In such a situation BP may increase. Even if you have digestive sensitivity, avoid eating radish parathas.
