Bread is an important part in our daily diet. It’s delicious and versatile, no wonder why it’s one of the most popular and oldest foods in the world.
But did you know all the advantages of including this staple food in your diet? Here at Great Harvest in Hillsboro we made this small guide that will show you why bread is full of healthy benefits for you and your family.
Labels
There are hundreds of varieties of bread out there and you will find them labeled under names like “made with whole grains” or “multigrain” those are fine but there is one that is better: Whole grain. The particularity of this bread is that it keeps all the parts of the grain which makes it healthier.
Heart Disease
There is evidence that consumption of whole grains is related to reduce the risk of coronary disease. According to a study, men who included 3 servings of whole grains in their diets had lower heart disease risk.
Fiber
Whole grains are a significant source of fiber, which helps you to digest better and it keeps your stomach full. Remember that the U.S Department of Agriculture recommends the consumption of 6-8 one ounce of grains everyday.
Good For Your Brain
Bread is also full of minerals and especially vitamin A and E, that are related in protecting our brains against mental age impairment like Alzheimer disease.
As you can see including bread in your daily diet is a great idea, but as you know not just any bread will do. At Great Harvest we use whole wheat flour which makes our bread healthier and delicious.
