Fiber in Your Diet



Substitute Whole-Grain Bread For White Bread

Benefits

Make it a habit to eat whole-grain bread instead of white bread. A 2002 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study found that a diet rich in whole, unrefined grains which are an excellent source of fiber, may help to lower the risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes.

Dietary fiber may also help lower your cholesterol as well as help to prevent certain types of cancer. Other studies have shown that people who have a lot of fiber in their diet, are happier. Whole-grain bread contains significantly more nutrients then bleached white bread. Do you know why we have white bread? White bread was created because of a need to increase the shelf life of bread products.

Triggers

Toss out your white bread and keep a loaf of whole grain bread in your pantry. Order whole-grain bread when you eat out.

To your fabulous health.
