Very important information about bread that many may not know

Bread is one of the most popular foods in the world. It is not only nutritious and affordable, but healthy as well. However, there are some facts about him that everyone should know.

Dr. Tatiana Meshrykova, an expert in the field of healthy nutrition, points out that bread is incompatible with meat, fish, poultry and milk.

According to her, high-quality bread is not only a nutritious substance that gives a feeling of satiety, but it is also a source of dietary fiber that is important for the body (especially products made from whole grain flour with the addition of bran enriched with seeds and spices). Bread is rich in B group vitamins (В1, В2, В4, В5, В6, В9), vitamins E and С, and also contains minerals, such as magnesium, selenium, zinc, iron, copper and silicon.

She points out that traditional bread usually contains flour, water, salt and yeast. There are types to which sugar, spices, bran and seeds are added.

She says: “You should choose whole grain bread and not refined wheat flour bread (classic white bread). Because bread containing complex carbohydrates (bran, whole grains, whole grain flour) is denser, but its nutritional value is greater: by preserving the crust of the grain, This bread is rich in nutrients - minerals, vitamins, fiber and amino acids.

According to him, preference should be given to cold bread.

She says: “No matter how tempting the smell of fresh bread and its crispy crust is, it is advisable to leave it to cool. Because the bread is still “risen” and the process of splitting the starch takes place during the digestion process, as the pulp of the bread that is still hot, when treated with saliva, turns into a dense, sticky mass. “It cannot be properly saturated with digestive juices, thus creating conditions for fermentation, increased acidity, and a feeling of heaviness in the stomach.”

The expert points out that for this reason, people who suffer from stomach, esophagus, and pancreas diseases are prohibited from eating fresh hot bread.

According to her, it is wrong to combine bread with different meats, fish and poultry, even though this is common in the traditional cuisine of most peoples in the world.

She says: “Bread products and protein-rich foods are split at a different rate in the stomach. Therefore, combining these products can lead to feelings of heaviness, discomfort and fermentation. This is because white bread and its products are simple carbohydrates and completely devoid of fiber. However, the process of splitting and absorption "High-quality protein foods require coarse fiber."

As for milk, it is better not to eat it with bread, but rather eat it separately, and it is not even recommended to eat it with any product.

According to her, many people who want to lose excess weight give up eating bread. But it is not necessary to give up bread. Because when following a healthy diet, it does not pose a threat to a person’s appearance and weight.

She says: “If a person wants to lose weight, he should exclude white bread made from premium wheat flour, because it provides additional calories without much nutritional value. But he can eat 100-150 grams of bread made from whole wheat grains and rye flour daily in the morning and after.” At noon, it is best to eat it with vegetable dishes and salads, including boiled, baked or fresh vegetables with oils and sauces, which gives a feeling of satiety.
