Number one whole wheat bread .

When it comes to bread , the two types that most shoppers are likely to be familiar with are white and whole wheat bread .

Of these two bread that is 100% whole wheat is considerably healthier , unlike processed white bread .

Whole grain bread keeps the entire grain intact during the manufacturing process , leaving in various bits such as germ indo sperm and bran .

By leaving these parts of the grain .

Whole wheat bread contains a much higher value of nutritional content than if it were to be removed .

In addition to having a higher concentration of fiber , the brand and germ of the grain are also beneficial sources of other nutrients such as protein and fat along with various other vitamins and minerals .

By contrast , the refined grains used in white bread do away with many of these important nutrients by removing the brand and germ during the bread's creation .

In addition to these added nutritional benefits , whole wheat bread may also help protect your body against certain types of health complications such as heart disease , type two diabetes and even certain varieties of cancer .

However , you shouldn't just settle for the first loaf of bread you see on the store shelf with whole wheat on the label .

Many manufacturers are inclined to simply slap the words whole wheat on the label in order to make their product appear healthier regardless of whether or not the bread itself was actually made without refined flour .

In order to ensure you're making a healthy and informed decision , take a closer look to ensure that the bread is made using 100% whole wheat or whole grain flour and avoid breads that seem to have tacked on or unnecessary ingredients .

Such as added sugar or vegetable oils .

Number two , sprouted grain like whole wheat bread , sprouted bread is made with whole grains as a key ingredient , as opposed to refined grains or flour .

The key difference is that as the name implies , sprouted grain bread is made from whole grains that have begun to germinate by which we mean the grains have begun sprouting .

This is because the grains used to make bread are actually seeds And by allowing these seeds to germinate before making them into bread , you can potentially unlock a variety of added nutritional benefits .

According to one study , pita bread made from 50% sprouted wheat flour contained an enormous difference in terms of nutritional value , including more than three times the amount of folate than other varieties of bread .

For those who don't know folate is a vitamin which plays a key role in converting the food you ingest into inner making .

Its addition .

A major plus for sprouted grain bread using germinated grains .

For bread also has been shown to increase the number of antioxidants within the bread while also decreasing the amount of compounds in the bread that block the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals such as iron .

The sprouting process also breaks down the starch within the grains which lessens the impact the bread has on your blood sugar .

Number three , sour dough , sour dough is a type of bread made through a special process that involves the fermentation of naturally occurring yeast and bacteria that allows the bread to rise .

This process of fermentation is also noteworthy in that it plays a significant role in reducing the phy content of bread by as much as 50% compared to other types of bread that are created through more conventional techniques .

The unique production process excess of sourdough bread may also make it easier to digest due to the higher concentration of prebiotics and probiotics that can assist your gut with the digestion process .

Additionally , sourdough bread's relatively low glycemic index means that like sprouted grains , the effect that sourdough has on your blood sugar is relatively minimal to put it simply while this dough might be sour , it certainly won't sour your mood .

Number four , oat bread , as evidenced by the name oat bread is surprise , surprise made using oats as the primary ingredient .

In addition to oats , oat bread is also made with natural ingredients such as whole wheat flour , yeast and water , which if you've been following this list so far is a good sign in terms of potential health benefits .

In addition to using whole wheat instead of refined process flour , the oats found in oat bread are associated with a number of additional health benefits including magnesium , vitamin B , one iron and zinc oats are a major source of fiber .

Specifically , a type of fiber known as beta glu beta gluten is believed to help lower your body's cholesterol levels as well as keep your blood sugar at a manageable level .

However , just like with whole wheat bread , make sure you pay attention to the ingredients list while grocery shopping to make sure you're really getting what you're promised .

Many so called oat breads may actually contain only a small amount of oats and can in fact be potentially made with refined flour and added sugars as well .

Just another reason to practice smart shopping habits and make sure you know exactly what you're putting on your plate .

Number five , flax bread .

Flax bread is a type of bread made using a combination of whole grain flowers as well as flax seeds .

I guess most of these names are pretty on the nose .

Huh ?

Moving on .

Flax seeds are an incredibly nutritious addition to any meal plan , which means that by extension , flax seed is probably one of the healthiest bread options you can choose from for starters .

Additionally , flax seeds also provide a plethora of additional health benefits including improved cholesterol , lowered blood pressure and a better control over your body's blood sugar levels .

Flax seeds also contain antioxidants known as leggins , which may potentially help to prevent the onset of certain varieties of cancer .

However , research into anti cancer properties of leggins and by extension , flax seeds is still a topic of debate .

And the jury is still currently out on whether or not they're really effective when it comes to protecting your body against cancer .

In this day and age .

People are paying more and more attention than ever when it comes to food they're eating .
