(ORDO News) — White bread has gotten a pretty bad reputation, especially among those people who are trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. How dangerous is a white bread sandwich or fresh toast? Also, not many people know why bread is actually “white”? Nutritionists also talked about what will happen to the body if this product is excluded from the diet.
For the preparation of white bread, flour is used that is previously cleaned of germs, bran and other most useful parts. Sometimes manufacturers artificially enrich flour and add B vitamins to it.
Nutritionists say that if you stop eating white bread, then in this case you will be able to significantly improve your mood. In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the results of a study were published, during which scientists found a connection between diets with a high glycemic index and depression.
Elysia Cartlidge, who is a professional nutritionist, explained this in more detail. With the help of the glycemic index, it is possible to determine how much a particular product can raise the blood sugar level. White bread belongs to those products that greatly increase the level of glucose. If you do not use white bread, then in this case you will be able to avoid frequent mood swings. The risk of depression decreases.
Avoiding white bread will help you lose weight faster. It is very important when losing weight to use those products that contain the maximum amount of fiber. Complex carbohydrates should be preferred instead of white bread. Brown rice and sweet potatoes should be in the diet. After some time, the first positive changes will become noticeable.
If you give up white bread, you can quickly lower your blood sugar level. Because refined wheat flour bread is quickly digested, it can lead to a sharp rise in blood sugar. Instead, it is better to add whole grain or rye bread to the diet.
This product is digested very quickly, but cannot provide a person with enough energy. White bread can be beneficial immediately before training, when you need to replenish energy reserves without harmful effects on the gastrointestinal tract.
Another important point is that this way you can lower the level of cholesterol, which is deposited from refined carbohydrates, which can include white bread. It is better to use products containing a lot of fiber instead.
