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. |
