Benefits of bread

High-quality whole grain bread is a source of fiber, iron, B vitamins, folic acid and other substances beneficial to the human body.

However, even a healthy product can have contraindications.

Harm of bread

Firstly, any bakery product causes a person to gain weight.

Most flour products are a set of calories and simple carbohydrates. And if it is white bread, it can be a source of added sugar.

Secondly, excessive consumption of bread and baked goods causes addiction.

Nutritionists compare such a diet with a high consumption of gluten, which can add to heart problems, increase cholesterol levels, and worsen the condition of blood vessels.

Thirdly, excessive consumption of flour products increases the risk of developing diabetes.

This applies to those who love baked goods made from premium flour, with a high glycemic index.

Such products cause spikes in blood sugar levels.

Fourth, be aware of digestive problems due to the lack of fiber in refined flour bread.

Such products are poorly digested and lead to bloating and constipation.

Fifthly, bread can cause problems with blood pressure, as it can contain a large amount of salt.

Let's sum it up

You should not completely give up eating bread and flour products.

It is recommended to choose baked goods made from whole flour with a minimum content of additives.

It is believed that whole grain bread will bring maximum benefits when consumed in moderation.
