Episode137- Is Eating Bread Unhealthy?

Welcome to another weekend short of The Matter Over Mind Experience.  

I am your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell 

This weekend,  I will talk about bread

Is eating bread really unhealthy? Or what kind of bread should we eat?

This may sound ridiculous, but you would not believe how many questions I get asking if I eat bread and what kind ?

I might answer that question for you at the end, so let’s begin 

According to Healthline

Bread is high in carbs, low in micronutrients, and its gluten and antinutrient contents may cause issues for some people

Sound yikes!

The same article also says 

Still, it’s often enriched with extra nutrients, and whole-grain or sprouted varieties may bestow several health benefits.

 In moderation, bread can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet.

This is the reason why nutrition is so confusing 

So, then we are back to square 1.

According to Medical News Today 

The highly processed flour and additives in white, packaged bread can make it unhealthful. 

Consuming too much white bread can contribute to obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

So, we are back to yikes

So, I will explain types of bread that you can add to a healthy diet

Everything I say is general & do not make any dietary changes without speaking to a medical or dietary professional 

You should consider removing bread from your diet if:

  1. You are trying to lose weight 
  2. You have insulin resistance or diabetes 
  3. You have high blood pressure 
  4. You have serious stomach cramps

These types of bread are considered healthier according to Healthline 

  1. Sourdough 
  2. 100% whole wheat 
  3. 100% sprouted rye bread 
  4. Flax Bread
  5. Oat Bread 

In addition,  if you will eat food that contain bread you either want to eat it before an intense workout or after a complete meal of fats,  protein &  vegetables for fiber 

Before an intense workout as pre-workout carbs if needed or after a complete meal to help keep your blood sugar steady 

You may want to take digestive enzymes prior to eating bread to promote better digestion
