As is known, grey and black bread are healthier than white, but this does not mean that products made using wheat flour should be eliminated from the diet.
Instead of giving up white baked goods, try to choose products that are less harmful - this will be enough.
It's no secret that white bread is made from premium wheat flour.
These products are usually not considered healthy because they contain virtually no useful elements (we are talking about dietary fiber and other components), only starch and easily digestible carbohydrates.
At the same time, wheat bread has a significant advantage – it is very tasty.
Nutritionist Mariyat Mukhina recommends consuming no more than two servings of white bread per day.
This restriction is imposed on white bread because various buns, loaves and other baked goods have a high glycemic index, and their consumption is associated with an increased risk of obesity and diabetes.
The nutritionist advises looking for white bread with added pseudo-grains, such as quinoa, sesame or chia seeds. These additives increase the fiber content.
The ideal option is bread that contains at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.
Some manufacturers also use bran or grain germ in the preparation of bread, which also makes it healthier.
The main thing is that baked goods do not contain a lot of artificial additives, preservatives, flavor enhancers and, of course, sugar - an excess of the latter leads to an excess of calories and sharp jumps in blood glucose levels.
