Bread
Everyone likes bread. Some say that eating too much bread makes us fat. That isn’t completely true. Bread does not make you fat! It’s more the “things” we put on top of bread that makes us fat. True, white bread has quite a lot of calories, but that calories are easily burned (by exercising?). It is advisable that you eat less white bread and rather more of other types of bread such as wholemeal bread, corn bread, rye bread and buckwheat bread.
White bread has a high glycemic index, so blood sugar levels rise quickly after eating it. However, the blood sugar falls back down rapidly, so we are soon after feeling weak and hungry. The problem with white bread is that it is made of flour, which is so refined that it has lost all nutritious ingredients.
Whole grain bread
Whole wheat bread is always a healthy choice.Whole grain bread or whole wheat bread, which is made of whole wheat flour has a low glycemic index and a lot of nutrients, so we don’t feel hungry for a long time after eating it.

It is rich in vitamin E and magnesium. If it is prepared solely from corn flour it also does not contain gluten and is specified as gluten-free product. Corn bread effectively prevents problems with intestines.
Rye bread
Rye bread stays fresh the longest because it contains a lot of water.Rye bread is rich in vitamin B and magnesium. Eating rye bread improves the development of lactic acid bacteria which prevents problems with intestines. Rye bread is also contains more water that other types of bread so it stays fresh longer.
