Bread and cereals are an essential part of a healthy and balanced diet. Sometimes, many people opt not to lose weight, but nutritionists tell us that this is not suitable.
They provide fiber and carbohydrates, which are essential for our body. It is important to know which type of bread is best and consume it in a balanced way.
Does it make you gain weight?
The key is to maintain a balance in everything we consume. For example, eating an orange or an apple a day is very healthy, but if you eat 5 oranges, your sugar level will rise and it will no longer be healthy for you. The same applies to bread. Moderately consumed bread does not need to make you gain weight. So, what is the recommended amount? The WHO (World Health Organization) tells us that the normal value is 250 grams. For example, 100 grams of white bread gives us 290 calories, and 100 grams of whole wheat bread gives 243 calories. Now the issue arises with what you want to accompany your bread with. We need to be moderate and not overdo it with butter, sausages, etc.
Which bread is the healthiest and which is least recommended?
Sliced bread would be the least recommended. It contains more fats, sugars, and additives to keep it fresh for longer. It is less healthy than traditional bread. But that does not mean it is "bad," you just need to consume it in small amounts. The healthiest bread is the one that contains more grains and is made of 100% whole wheat flour. To know this, it's good to check the ingredients. It is also important that it contains a good amount of grains. To understand this, observe the composition of the grain: Bran: the outer part of the grain contains B vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Germ: The part of the plant that produces new plants contains B vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Endosperm: the part of the cereals, with proteins and carbohydrates.
The healthiest types of bread
Whole wheat bread
Whole wheat bread is the most used and the most sold. It contains insoluble fiber that helps us prevent colorectal cancer. You should check if it is made of whole grains and whole wheat flour, as these may be mixed with others and are no longer healthy. Generally, at first sight, always choose the darker types of bread because they contain fewer additives. Lately, a new type of bread made with white wheat instead of red wheat has been sold. This is also a good option. The most important thing is always to know the ingredients.
Oat bread
Oat bread is also very popular and equally healthy. It is generally combined with wheat flour, making it lighter and more pleasant, less dry than bread made only from wheat. Another interesting fact is that oat bread contains soluble fiber, which is great for lowering cholesterol.
Rye bread
Rye bread is no longer as common as wheat bread. It is not the favorite of many people and sells a little less, but what we may not know is that it is a very healthy option. It might be the best recommendation, it is a very tasty bread that pairs well with both sweet and savory. It is ideal for breakfast, a slice alongside a glass of orange juice, for example, gives you a good dose of energy, fiber, and vitamins. It is the bread with the most fiber and nutrients, a delightful combination of iron and B vitamins that care for you and your health. Try including it in your diet, it will help you not to gain weight, and you’ll know it’s the healthiest and tastiest option.
