Nutritionists do not recommend starting the morning with white bread, and patients with diabetes and excess weight simply do not recommend including it in their diet.
It has been proven that white bread and baked goods made from premium flour have a high glycemic index, are quickly digested and increase blood glucose levels.
Doctor Sergei Agapkin, on the air of the show “About the Most Important Thing” on the channel “Russia 1”, told how to eat white bread to avoid an increase in blood sugar.
If you have diabetes or a tendency to gain excess weight, white bread is actually prohibited.
However, if you freeze it beforehand, the glycemic index of baked goods is reduced by half.
It also turned out that after baked goods made from premium flour are defrosted or reheated, the glycemic index in them does not increase, but decreases.
This means that bread in the refrigerator not only lasts longer, but also becomes healthier.
According to Agapkin, it is very convenient to store bread in the freezer, having previously cut it into portions.
It can defrost without heating in 10 minutes.
This simple trick will change the structure of the starch in your baked goods, turning it into resistant starch.
As a result, the process of its absorption will slow down, which will help avoid sharp jumps in blood sugar.
