Of course we all love sandwiches and toast … and bread is a staple part of most of our diet.  What we do want to do, as with all of the fuel we put into our bodies is aim for those with the best nutritional values.  Bread is a complex carbohydrate and should be eaten in moderation (4 slices per day on average).

The best bread you can have is home made.  You can research all of the ingredients yourself and using a breadmaker very easily make the bread that best suits you.

The following are breads that are widely available and for various reasons (which can be researched online) are the best value for health.

The most beneficial breads are:

• Wholemeal
• Seeded
• Rye, Spelt and Wheat

Followed by:

• Granary
• Soda
• Wholemeal Pitta

Of Course there are so many other breads that are widely available now but do your research before you switch from one of the above.

As an aside, the only spread you should use is butter.
