4 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Eat Bread

Whether its sandwiches or subs, a lot of us love eating bread and do so, on a daily basis. But it isn’t exactly the most healthy foods that there are. Here’s why you should stay away from bread!

It doesn’t have many nutrients:

Unlike other food items, bread, especially white bread and items made from it lack nutrients. You’re not getting any fiber, you’re not getting the wholesomeness of grains — you’re basically getting nothing important out of it. While bread made of wheat is a little better, if you’re looking for nutrients, bread made out of whole grains are what you must opt for.

It contains too much salt:

Most bread varieties, especially the processe3d kind that you buy from the supermarket, contain lots of salt. So if you eat lesser bread, the amount of sodium in your body is significantly reduced. Of course, one slice of bread, every now and then won’t do any damage. In fact, you can bake your own bread at home, without adding too much salt.

It makes you gain weight

If you eat too much of bread, because of all carbs, salt, refined sugar and preservatives that it contains, it can make you put on pounds! Eating it in moderation is fine; especially when you take the time to make sure it’s as healthy as possible.

It’s not a wholesome, filling meal

Since certain kinds of bread lack nutrients, when you eat them, you might not feel satiated, because it’s not filling!

Have herbal tea, natural greek yoghurt and fresh fruit.

Try freshly pressed juice, poached eggs and spinach.

Delight in oats with honey and fruit compote.

The list really is endless.

I grew up eating; kandolo, insemwa, tute, impundu, imfungo, insongwa(zazamina), ifitungulu and many more in that collective basket. Bread naisa isanga ku bukulu then you want to discourage me, awe taata ngakufwa katukafwe. Bread na butter yeena ni tiyetiye.

  Denkete had you grown up on bread and butter by now you would be having diabetes and HBP. The food you grew up on is what many sufferers of obesity in the West are dying to eat. Natural food or organic crops are being sought all over Europe yet Africa has an abundance of them

There is nothing in this world that you will eat without fault finders finding faulty with, in the end they will advise you not to eat or drink anything at all.

I and my family will eat bread for as long as we live.
