There are many health benefits of eating whole wheat bread, not just the high content of fiber.
Whole wheat bread is also loaded with vital nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and niacin’s that are very important to your health and weight maintenance as well.
Studies have shown that women who eat whole wheat instead of white breads weigh much less and are better able to maintain their healthier weights. Inflammation is lessened by people who eat healthy wheat breads on a regular basis and the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart diseases are lowered too.
Wheat bread keeps your digestive system on track and decreases problems of the gastrointestinal
tracts. The fiber content within wheat breads has been shown to protect women of pre-menopausal age against cancer within the breasts. The women in these studies ate at least 30 grams per day.
These breads will be of great benefit to your heart in several ways. Cholesterol can be lowered; blood pressure and glucose levels can be regulated also.
The bread which is the healthiest for you can be found by checking the back label to see which
ingredients are included in them. For the best health benefits from bread, either stone ground or whole grains should be the first on the ingredient label, not enriched. The bread should not contain high fructose corn syrup but be sweetened by the use of honey or a molasses instead, as these are healthy natural types of sweeteners.
The salt and these sweeteners should be towards the bottom of the ingredient label for the healthiest benefits. Look for breads which don’t include preservatives or types of additives in them as these are not very healthy. These breads can be kept just as fresh without these additional chemicals by just closing properly and refrigerating the loaf.
