In the windows of modern stores you can find many types of bread: white and black, rye and with cereals, with bran or other additives in the composition.
Today you will learn how to choose from all this variety the one that is suitable for adherents of healthy eating.
Whole grain baked goods
The main difference (and advantage) of whole grain baked goods is that they contain a large amount of dietary fiber. They can be called natural prebiotics, which benefit the intestinal microflora, helping to fight inflammatory processes and strengthen the immune system.
Bread made from whole grains is digested more slowly than usual, which means you will feel full longer and avoid sharp spikes in blood glucose.
White flour bread
Don't want to give up white bread? You don't have to – just buy white bread with bran instead of a sweet loaf.
They are a source of slow carbohydrates, folic acid, vitamin E and antioxidants. The benefit of bran is that, being essentially a hard shell of grain, they improve digestion, normalize weight and reduce the risk of diseases associated with metabolism.
Rye bread
Rye contains lysine, an essential amino acid that takes part in the process of tissue regeneration.
In addition, here you will find iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, selenium and zinc.
