The Right Breakfast Breads Can Keep Your Blood Sugar In Check Through The Dinner Hours
Once again, I am going to say, “don’t shoot the messenger”. Before anyone gets all in a tizzy, take the time to really read through what the research is claiming in its entirety. Yes, they are suggesting that certain breakfast breads are effective in controlling blood sugars through the dinner hour, but they are in no way suggesting that you shove 5 pieces of white toast in your mouth and call it a morning.
“It is known that a carbohydrate-rich breakfast with low GI can moderate increases in blood sugar after lunch. But my results show that low GI in combination with the right amount of so-called indigestible carbohydrates, that is, dietary fiber and resistant starch, can keep the blood-sugar level low for up to ten hours, which means until after dinner,” says Anne Nilsson, a doctoral student at the Unit for Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry and author of the dissertation.
What constitutes whole grain breads? Whole-grain barley or rye are the 2 choices that are being suggested. It is interesting though, when the same whole grains were mashed down into porridge, they did not have the same effect of regulating your blood sugar after breakfast. And we all know that when your blood sugar is in check, you think clearer and are much more effective.
This is due to a combination of low GI (glycemic index) and certain type of indigestible carbohydrates that occur in certain grain products.
