Among the debates and doubts we have, when it comes to taking care of our diet, there is the type of bread we consume daily. There are many people who are very sure of the benefits of whole wheat bread.
¿What kind of bread do you eat every day to take care of your physical appearance?? Is white bread or whole wheat better?
Benefits of whole wheat bread
If the origin is certified, bread is healthier in its wholegrain varieties. You have to know that the bread is made up of three main parts, after baking: the starch, the germ and the bran. And here is the difference between white and whole wheat bread.
White bread flour has only starch. However, in whole foods the bran is as important as the germ. In this way, the nutrients in the wheat seed are better preserved.
Whole wheat bread does not produce similar effects to diet foods. At most what they provide is a low percentage of nutrients.
The brown color of bread
Even though it seems like it, the color brown does not always equate to whole wheat bread. In some cases, a bran supplement is even added for a better coloring. There is also the case of fortification with B vitamins, white or wholemeal bread.
Even in many establishments use the color brown that is obtained in this type of bread, to sell them as if they were natural products.
The best option, white or whole wheat bread
In reality, there is not a big difference in calories between the two types of bread. It is advisable to consume a mixture that is healthy, natural and rich in fibers.
The healthiest bread is made from whole wheat flour, made from whole grains. This process guarantees a dough with more fiber, vitamins and nutrients more whole.
Es important to avoid mixtures with a high sugar and gluten content.
