How to Buy Bread

Diet and nutrition image.

If you include bread in your diet, here are some things to consider when shopping:

  • Look for bread made from whole grains, especially those with sprouted grains, which offer more naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and fiber.
  • Avoid breads made from enriched white flour. Processing of most flours involves heat and bleach which destroy vital nutrients of the grain.
  • Find breads without preservatives. Search the freezer section for products that are wholesome and avoid additives in an attempt to extend shelf life.

Like any change, making healthier choices means developing new tastes and new habits. Visit your local health food store. Make it an adventure and give yourself time to appreciate the subtle flavors.

Dr. Rich Asks some important questions of interest to Commerce Township residents - Chiropractor Commerce Township Dr. Rich Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
