Dietitian's Tips for Consuming IHE Whole Wheat Bread
Metabolic Effect: Whole wheat bread slows down digestion due to its fiber content and helps blood sugar rise more evenly. This can help with weight control by providing a long-lasting feeling of fullness.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming whole wheat bread with protein and healthy fats increases its nutritional value and creates a more balanced meal. For example, it can be consumed with cheese, avocado, or hummus.
Things to Consider: It is important to pay attention to portion control, as whole wheat bread also contains calories. In addition, some whole wheat breads may contain additives, so it is helpful to read the label. 2 slices of whole wheat bread are equivalent to one serving of carbohydrates.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one slice (medium) of whole wheat bread, walking for about 20 minutes is sufficient. This is an exercise that you can easily incorporate into your daily activity.
