Some benefits of bread
Thanh Nien newspaper cited a study published on the San Recent Patents on Food, Nutrition & Agriculture analyzing data from 35 studies, bread made from whole grains or beans with low glycemic index.Fiber slows down the digestive process, not only prevents the blood sugar sudden but also very good for the intestinal tract.
The insoluble fiber in bread made from whole grains also creates a feeling of fullness for a long time, and makes it easier to go through the intestinal tract.
Whole grains stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli bacteria.These are two types of intestinal bacteria capable of converting starch into short -chain fatty acids.This type of fatty acid helps protect the intestinal mucosa, regulates hormones and stabilizes blood sugar.
Not only that, some Bifidobacteria bacteria also support the immune system and anti -inflammatory.Some types of lactobacilli have the effect of inhibiting inflammation in the body.Not only that, whole grains also reduce harmful bacteria in the intestine such as E. Coli and Clostridia.
Delicious bread but should not abuse.
Bread made from white starch, despite having high glycemic index, they still bring many benefits to the intestinal tract.Those who eat white bread are high in bifidobacteria and fatty acids shorter than people who eat rice.In addition, the concentration of peptide hormones like Glucagon-1 (GLP-1) in the body of the white bread is also higher.This type of hormone helps us feel full when eating.
Between bread made from white starch and whole grain, the type made from whole grains is still considered healthier.Because they still retain the content of fiber, antioxidants and many other nutrients from cereals.
