directly or indirectly derived from alimentary
errors. Let us see the alimentary pyramid
Bread belongs to the section "eat more of this,
what means that it must be daily consumed. Bread
is essential, supplying needed carbohydrates to
our organism beyond vitamins and staple
fibres. Because it has a bigger satiated effect
and facilitates digestion and work of intestinal
device, integral bread with staple fibre addition
is more recommended then white bread.

Breads Benefits
Energy Recuperator - bread contains little fat
and is rich in carbohydrates, so if we have in
account many cooked foods it becomes
comparatively poor in calories. White and
integral breads are quickly digested and absorbed
and so ideal for people needing an energy
increase after physical exercise. Colon cancer
combat - wheat's bran of integral bread increases
the volume of excrements, speeding it up through
colon, and therefore it can help to remove
potentially cancerigenic substances. Calcium
source - white bread is a good calcium source to
ones that consumes few dairy products and for the
children because blockading calcium substances
are eliminated during the milling process.

cultivated grounds is a strong antirust capable
of hinder free radical attacks that provokes
cardiovascular illnesses. Moreover, its an
essential element to masculine fertility.

folic acid strenghtened breads contributes to

Carbohydrates Bread is the main carbohydrate
supplier to our organism. Starch Most of
starches arent absorbed supplies energy. So, we
must ingest more starch then saccharose (sugar).
Proteins Soluble proteins, under the albumin
form, and insoluble proteins, constitutes gluten
Alimentary proteins are first disintegrated to
amino acids and then absorbed. When there are
lack of amino acids in nourishment, our organism
cant develop. Cellulose Cellulose and
insoluble substances plays primordial roles in
digestibility, absorption and intestinal
functioning.
