Krasnoyarsk residents were explained why they should not give up bread

The Krasnoyarsk Rospotrebnadzor dispelled popular myths about the dangers of bread and explained why it should not be excluded from the diet. Department specialists named five good reasons to keep the product on the menu.

Firstly, bread contains slow carbohydrates, which maintain blood sugar levels and ensure brain function. Their deficiency threatens fatigue and decreased performance. Secondly, carbohydrates help produce serotonin, the “happiness hormone,” so completely avoiding bread can worsen your mood.

In addition, bread contains B vitamins, magnesium, manganese, and whole grain bread also contains molybdenum, silicon, phosphorus, iron, zinc and selenium. The product is also rich in fiber, which is necessary for intestinal health, prevention of gastrointestinal diseases and the cardiovascular system.

The department emphasizes that giving up bread can lead to a deficiency of nutrients. It is important not to exclude it completely, but to choose the right varieties. Experts advise giving preference to whole grain, rye bread, as well as options with bran, seeds and nuts. If you are gluten intolerant, you should choose bread made from rice, buckwheat, corn or chickpea flour. The composition should contain a minimum of sugar and artificial additives.
