Several of the leading causes of illness in the United States have been linked to diet, namely heart disease, some cancers and diabetes. A healthful well-balanced diet, coupled with physical activity, can help offer us some protection against these and other illnesses. 100% Whole Grains: Healthy Life 100% Whole Grain Rye Bread is made from 100% whole grain rye and 100% whole grain wheat. Many other popular-selling rye breads contain enriched wheat flour or unbleached wheat flour which are not whole grains and not 100% whole wheat. Always check ingredient listings. Whole grains are an important source of nutrients that are in short supply in our modern diets, including fiber, trace minerals and antioxidants. The combination of dietary fibers, minerals and vitamins in whole grains, paired with a low-fat diet, work together in a powerful way to offer us protection against heart disease and some cancers. High In Fiber: High fiber foods break down more slowly during digestion and help to maintain even energy levels throughout the day. Because fiber requires extended breakdown as it is digested, it helps to regulate blood sugar and avoid the food cravings caused by dips in blood sugar. Since rye fiber has exceptionally high water-binding capacity, it also makes us feel full and satisfied, which can help in efforts to lose weight. Insufficient fiber in our diets can be linked to dozens of health and medical problems, while eating foods rich in fiber can help prevent or reduce symptoms of these conditions. Healthy Life 100% Whole Grain Rye Bread, which is high in fiber, can aid in both your efforts at weight loss and promoting good digestive health and regularity. 98% Fat Free, Low Fat, O Grams Trans Fat: Not all fats are created equal. Some fats are beneficial to our health such as unsaturated fats which contain essential fatty acids, substances necessary for growth but not produced by the body itself. Saturated fats and hydrogenated fats (trans fats), however have been shown to contribute to heart disease by raising levels of bad cholesterol. Healthy Life 100% Whole Grain Rye Bread is low in fat, contains no saturated fats, no hydrogenated fats and 0 grams trans fats. Sugar Free, 40 Calories Per Slice: Most nutritionists today are concerned with the ever-increasing amounts of sugar in the average American diet. Sugars have the effect of raising our blood glucose levels and generating an over-production of insulin. To prevent and control diabetes and to regulate weight, it is recommended we limit the amount of sugar and calories in our diets.
