Is Bread a Healthy Option to Include in your Diet?

In this Eat This, Not That! article, the writer interviewed dietitians to get their insight into the health benefits of eating bread. One major perk of including whole wheat bread in the diet is that it is a fantastic source of dietary fiber. Whole wheats are also a good source of B vitamins and other minerals!

I was quoted in this article and said:

"The reason why bread being such a good source of fiber is so important is that “dietary fiber is essential for gut health and satiety,” says Claudia Hleap, MS, RD, LDN a registered dietitian and owner of Hleap Nutrition, a nutrition practice in Philadelphia. “Fiber also aids in blood sugar management and appetite regulation. When trying to make the healthiest choice between breads, aim to choose the one highest in fiber and protein. This will make the bread a more filling choice as a part of your meal.”

Bread gets a bad reputation when it comes to weight management, but when you consume it in moderation it can be a fantastic and filling addition to the diet.
