️The Community Nutrition Improvement Office of the Ministry of Health announced:
Launch of the 1404 National Healthy Nutrition Awareness Campaign, focusing on promoting the consumption of healthy bread.
Whole grain bread has higher nutritional value compared to bread made from white flour.
Whole wheat flour is made from all parts of the wheat grain, including
the endosperm, bran, and germ, with less than 6% bran removal. The high
fiber content in this bread type improves digestive system function,
reduces LDL cholesterol, and helps control blood sugar.
The recommended daily salt intake is up to 3 grams for patients with
diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases, and 5 grams
for healthy individuals.
Tips for bread handling include buying bread according to daily
consumption, using cloth bags for carrying, cooling bread before
transport, and freezing it for long-term storage.
Consumption of leavened whole-grain bread is recommended in at least one daily meal.
To produce whole-grain bread, real whole-grain flour should be used; simply adding bran on top of bread is not a proper method.
