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!

This is a typical case of african media endorsing anything they hear from richer nations. Anyway the substance of this article does not count anyway due to the PF’s poor economic management which has meant majority of people cannot affor bread. It is now a luxury. Let us vote in UPND to ensure food security

I know this is totally not related to the article but after careful analysis of Biddens comments and their implications we as a party would like to stress that JJB does not represent the UPND and anything he says should not be taken as official communication from the party. This is because he is not an approved representative of the party. He might be a member and that is where it ends. Please next time you want to attribute anything as coming from the UPND make sure you check who is writing. You can click on my profile to ensure it is actually the official rep talking.

I have have known this all along. Please this is not a forum for campaign. Go and campaign in Kaputa, where there is a very poor road of 405 km from Kasama. It will take you 10 hours.
