How to choose healthy bread

1, "whole grain" is the key to choosing bread. One thing to remember is to give priority to those "whole grain" products. "Whole grain" products are made of whole grains, including endosperm, germ, bran and so on. , can provide enough dietary fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals for human body. If you are not used to the taste of whole wheat, you can try barley, brown rice, oats and flaxseed products, which are as nutritious as whole wheat.

2. Make sure that the label says 100% "whole grain". In the market, products containing 5 1% "whole grain" can be labeled as "whole grain" food, so you must be sure to identify those labels marked with 100% "whole grain". A 100% "whole grain" product can provide you with 16 grams of dietary fiber. Just choose ordinary bread. Whether it is "organic" is not necessary for bread.

The less ingredients, the healthier the bread. It is also important to choose products without artificial flavors, colors and preservatives. It is best to read the nutrient composition table aloud when buying, so as to avoid selecting products containing trans fats, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and high fructose corn syrup. If a food contains additives that are difficult to pronounce, you'd better give them up.

4. Pay attention to "dietary fiber". Dietary fiber is very important for your diet. It can not only make you feel full, but also promote intestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial to intestinal health. The American Dietary Guidelines suggest that people's daily dietary fiber intake should be about 25 grams, which means that half of the cereals you eat every day should be "whole grains". The dietary fiber in "whole grain" food is well preserved, so when choosing bread, we should pay attention to the "dietary fiber" column in the nutritional composition table, and it is best to choose products with dietary fiber content of more than 3 grams per piece of bread.
