The benefits of making healthy food choices

Eating habits can have a big impact in your health. A balanced meal will not only make one feel better, it can actually reduce the risk of acquiring certain diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.

Health and medical organizations are one in saying that a high-fiber diet is good for the body. When regularly eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, fiber has been shown to help lower blood cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. A high-fiber diet may also help reduce the risk of diabetes and colon and rectal cancer.

Fiber can be found in wheat bread. In general, 100 percent whole wheat/whole grain breads have more fiber than white bread or other breads made with wheat flour. For a more healthy choice, experts would recommend eating wheat bread rather than the white one.

However, this is easier said than done. Although it is healthier, most people do not like eating wheat bread because of its coarse texture and taste.

In order to encourage more people to eat wheat bread, Creative Bakers concocted a way to make it smoother and more delicious via the Walter Sugar Free Wheat Bread and Double Fiber Wheat Bread.

Walter Sugar Free Wheat Bread has no bromate, is cholesterol-free and contains no trans fat. It also has zero sugar and is 97 percent fat free. It is high in nutritional values and fibers plus more vitamins and minerals.

The Double Fiber Wheat Bread, on the other hand, contains whole wheat and apple fiber, giving consumers the benefit of both soluble (fruit) and insoluble (grain) fibers. Two slices of this bread contain more fiber than other brands.

The best feature of both breads lies in the fact that they are smooth, moist and delectable. They are good-tasting with good nutritional profile prepared to meet the discriminating taste of today’s consumers.

Walter Sugar Free Wheat Bread and Double Fiber Wheat Bread are available at all leading groceries and supermarkets nationwide.
