Pros and cons of white bread substitutes

Pros and cons of white bread substitutes

White bread has long been no longer the best option for breakfast, not only for those looking to lose weight, but also for those who want to bring more health to the day to day . "White bread is rich in simple carbohydrates and low in fiber. This combination provides few nutrients for the body and does not generate satiety, which makes the person feel hungry quickly," explains nutritionist Patricia Davidson, responsible for famous foods such as Paolla Oliveira and Bruna Marquezine.

In addition, "each French bread unit has approximately 150 calories," says endocrinologist Glaucia Duarte of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism. "It is possible to think of many nutritious and tasty options that remain in this range," she recalls.

But since balance is essential for everything in life, even healthier choices should be looked at with caution. It is no use copying the food of another person, because the best options for you must be thought by a professional. What is the best substitute for white bread? "This is individual and depends on the goal of each," says Patricia. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the positive and negative points of each alternative:

Tapioca

Pros

: Tapioca is made with cassava starch which is heated in the frying pan and melts slightly, forming a rind that can be consumed as if it were a crepe. The main macronutrient present in tapioca is carbohydrate and it does not contain gluten, like French bread. Cons

: Tapioca can be a good alternative to white bread, "however we must take into account that tapioca has a the lowest nutrient content and a lot of carbohydrate, so it is necessary to evaluate in an individual way how it will be introduced in food, "says Patricia. Whole wheat

Pros

:" Whole wheat bread can be a good substitute the white bread, "says the nutritionist. You just have to be aware of the list of ingredients. "Prefer, for example, those made with 100% whole grain flour, without sugar and those that contain seeds," she says. Cons

: It is possible to find several options of this type of bread in the market, but not all are satisfactory. "Some options found in the market do not have such a nutritious composition and, if consumed excessively, can lead, for example, to weight gain. However, for people who like and do not give up brown bread, there are options with a more interesting list of ingredients, made from 100% whole flour or oilseed flours, for example. " Pancakes

Pros

: They became a breakfast fever for many people and with reason. "Pancakes usually have an adequate amount of protein, which makes it satiate and prevents the person from 'nipping' in the interval until the next meal, so it's a better option than white bread, for example." . Cons

: Being a healthy option, there are no major problems in your consumption. What can happen are adaptations in the recipe so that it conforms to your goal. "Everything will depend on the individual and the nutritional strategy used by the nutritionist," he points out. Omelet

Pros

: "Omelets are good sources of protein and therefore can be used as substitutes for white bread in coffee in the morning, for example, "says the nutritionist. In addition, the egg is rich in vitamins A, which has antioxidant effect and is essential for vision, D, responsible for bone health, and which has antioxidant action, and in zinc, selenium and magnesium, important antioxidant minerals for the body . Cons

: Studies have not yet proven whether egg consumption may or may not be harmful to people with diabetes. Therefore, it is interesting that anyone living with the disease talk to their doctor about ingesting food, as well as people with high cholesterol.


Indiscriminate use of vitamin supplements brings health risks

Indiscriminate use of vitamin supplements brings health risks

We see today a massive, often fanciful and exaggerated disclosure of the benefits of vitamin supplements in human health. For some time it was believed that the use of megadoses of vitamins would give us protection against disease, premature aging, longer life, etc. However, with the emergence of a new medical specialty, NUTROLOGY (officially recognized since 1978 by Federal Council of Medicine), the medical profession has been given the opportunity to specialize in this area and to understand more fully the relationship between nutrients and human health, both in its maintenance and in the triggering of diseases.
