Consuming this type of flour is beneficial for health and advantageous.
Refined flour (maida) often causes constipation and becomes a cause of hemorrhoids.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
Barley flour or wheat flour—they would only blow on it and suffice with that.
They did not sift it with a sieve.
Since, in that era, the food of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) was only barley, it is mentioned in the hadith.
From a medical perspective, this type of flour is very beneficial for health.
Physicians recommend only this type of flour.
Flour from which the bran is removed is often constipating and becomes a cause of hemorrhoids.
Refined flour (maida) settles in the intestines.
The same is the case with "naan" and similar items.
These unnatural things are against the principles of hygiene and are the cause of a hundred diseases.
And Allah knows best.
