Frequent consumption of white bread and various types of pasta doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease in women ...
Italian scientists have conducted a large-scale study, the results of which show that pasta and especially white bread and pasta are extremely harmful to women's health.
A study of more than 47,000 men and women found that gluten-rich pasta was rapidly absorbed by the body and increased blood glucose levels. Scientists have concluded that frequent consumption of white bread and various types of pasta doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease in women.
Studies have shown that men are not at risk for cardiovascular problems.
The authors of the study specify that the harmful effect is observed only when consuming white bread, but not when eating whole grains and rye products, which are rich in fiber and fiber.
Wholemeal breads are a food that contributes to a better nutritional balance, providing a significant portion of carbohydrates, fiber, vegetable fats, minerals and vitamins needed by the body.
The amino acids contained in the so-called black bread are especially necessary for the body to build its own proteins.
Bakery products also contain B vitamins, which are extremely important for the work of the brain and nervous system, as well as for the good condition of the skin and mucous membranes.
Bread and pasta are foods that are slowly absorbed by the body, create a feeling of satiety and do not cause a sharp rise or fall in blood sugar levels.
The widespread misconception that bread is the enemy of our figure is the main reason why it should be excluded from the diet first. It is believed that white bread and pasta in general, especially sweets, are enemies of our figure.
However, nutritionists are adamant that reducing carbohydrates and proteins in the diet can have a short-term effect. In the long run, however, the ideal weight lies in a high-carbohydrate but low-fat diet.
