Detailed Solution

Sieving the flour is not considered to be a healthy practice because it removes all the roughage from the flour.

Roughage is an essential part of our diet because it contains indigestible cellulose which helps in bowel movement and increases gut health. The absence of roughage may decrease the roughage content in our diet which will impact our bowel movement.

Instead of sieving, it is recommended to use a whisk or a fork to break up any lumps in the flour and ensure that it is evenly distributed. This method is gentler on the flour and does not damage the gluten structure.
