so once you master all the nutritional
0:02
information that you need to manage
0:05
diabetes you will come to realize that
0:07
the diet for diabetes does not have to
0:09
be extremely restrictive and complicated
0:13
to follow and when you are talking about
0:15
whether to eat white bread or whether or
0:17
not to eat white bread we are still
0:19
talking about the glycemic index and the
0:21
glycemic index is just how fast your
0:23
body absorbs the sugar from the foods
0:26
that you eat welcome back to my channel

okay so when you're talking about bread
0:40
we are definitely touching on a very
0:42
important breakfast item because most of
0:45
us eat bread for breakfast
0:47
and therefore uh
0:49
it's it's clear that bread comes from
0:51
wheat flour which is naturally brown so
0:54
when you're talking about brown bread
0:55
you're talking about bread that has not
0:56
undergone much processing so because
0:59
it's processed with the outer covering
1:01
of the wheat still intact therefore
1:02
you're talking about more fiber and more
1:05
minerals like magnesium still intact
1:07
that therefore making brown bread more
1:09
nutritious
1:10
on the other hand when you're talking
1:11
about white bread you're talking about
1:13
bread that has undergone so much
1:15
processing and therefore some minerals
1:17
and some of the fiber
1:19
have been interfered with making it less
1:22
nutritious and therefore even without
1:25
going further into it you already
1:26
realize which type of bread is good for
1:28
your sugars so the brown bread is
1:31
obviously preferred over the white bread
1:33
for the little that i've said brown
1:35
bread contain more fiber and the fiber
1:37
is important because it slows down
1:39
digestion preventing sudden spikes in
1:41
your blood glucose levels because the
1:43
sugar will get into your system slowly
1:46
we are also talking about the minerals
1:48
which are good for general well-being
1:50
and preventing deficiencies and also
1:53
you're talking about satellite because
1:54
you're able to remain full for a long
1:56
time preventing snacking and eventually
1:58
being able to manage your blood sugars
2:00
at a level at a normal range
2:03
however a quick disclaimer is that some
2:04
manufacturers tend to add some color
2:07
into white bread so you need to be
2:08
vigilant because for food to have to be
2:11
high in fiber you have to feel for some
2:13
texture you have to feel for some
2:14
texture and therefore just adding color
2:16
into white bread will not add the fiber
2:18
that is important for your health so to
2:20
answer your question is that brown bread
2:22
is usually preferred because it has
2:24
enough
2:25
it has more dietary fiber it has more
2:28
minerals and is good for satiety and
2:30
prevention of snacking and so on and so
2:32
forth but for the white bread it has
2:34
been snatched off the good things the
2:36
minerals the fiber and it may not be
2:38
nutritious and healthy for you so you
2:40
need to be vigilant and stay healthy
