Bread For A Healthy Life

Bread forms a staple part of our diet in the UK. We all have our favourite kinds, but it's worth remembering that all bread is a healthy choice.

Providing energy in the form of starchy/complex carbohydrate, low in fat, a good source of fibre (especially the wholemeal varieties), it also contains calcium, iron and vitamins. Certain breads, like our Good Health range, come fortified with extra vitamins and minerals.

Diet means ‘eating pattern’, if you're in any doubt about what's right for you, or the person who has a specific dietary need, you're advised to contact your GP, registered dietician or other relevant medical professional.



From Pre-School to Adults

While at school, kids use more energy for their size than adults do because they are very active and continually growing.
 

Many school kids prefer white bread to brown or wholemeal - it may have less fibre but is still an excellent source of the carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals that growing children need. Our Good Health White bread has extra fibre.
 

Many teenagers also skip breakfast but it really is the most important meal of the day.
 

A bowl of fortified cereal, milk, toast and fruit juice only takes a few minutes to prepare and eat and makes a difference to their day both nutritionally and educationally.
 

Bread is fantastic - penny for penny, it contains more nutrients than any other food, so it’s great for tight budgets.
 

Our lives are becoming busier and for people who don't always have time to sit down to a cooked meal, a quick and delicious sandwich or roll can help to provide the energy you need to get through the day.
