We all know it very well that Carbohydrate are really bad for our health. And our breakfast staple double roti is full of the carbohydrate, but still it has certain goodness for all of us. Let us try to find out :
First of all it is very important how to eat Double Roti. Maybe that sounds like an inane exercise because we’ve been eating copious amounts of it all our life. Or maybe we have recently sworn it off completely, avoiding the restaurant bread basket like a great peril. But these common extremes are testament to why we need to rethink our approach to this ancient staple and learn how to get the most out of it, for both sensory pleasure and nutrition.
Despite all the anti-carb clamoring, double roti can be healthy, particularly if it is made with whole grains. One ounce of whole-wheat double roti provides significant fiber, protein, B vitamins and essential minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc, as well as antioxidants, all for just 70 calories. Even white one, which is often demonized as equivalent to sugar because of the similar way it spikes blood glucose, offers more than just empty calories because of the vitamins and minerals in the enriched flour it’s made with, though it’s certainly not the healthiest choice.
The problem many of us face with oven baked bread is twofold: First, it is all too easy to overeat, throwing our diets off balance and padding them with unwanted calories. Second, the kinds of oven baked bread we choose are often sub-par — soft, bland, additive-laden white avatar. A bagel for breakfast, a sub sandwich for lunch and a couple of soft rolls with dinner — this is not an uncommon pattern, yet it adds up to double the six ounces a day for all grain foods recommended by the nutrition experts for most adults. But that doesn’t mean one should pass on oven baked bread entirely. It is time to get out of the extremes and learn to enjoy it in a balanced, healthy and satisfying way. There are three simple steps can help you get there:
Quality is Key
Taking a “qualitarian” approach to oven baked bread eating — that is, saying no to so-so and opting instead to eat only top-notch bread — has both taste and nutritional benefits. One generally know good bread when you see it. It tends to have a caramelized, well-developed crust or crisp exterior, an enticing aroma and a fresh, not-quite-uniform appearance. But it’s what’s inside that really counts. 30 mouth-watering recipes approved by health experts
A healthy bread is made with simple ingredients: “If you pick up a oven baked bread and see anything other than flour, water, salt, yeast and maybe some honey, put the package down, Many industrially produced breads are riddled with unpronounceable additives — dough conditioners, gums and preservatives — that serve to speed up the bread making process and extend shelf life. But the best loaves are a true slow food, produced with a few basic ingredients and requiring extensive fermentation time.
This old-world process makes all the difference in both taste and health. “With long-fermented breads, the diner gets the taste of the grain rather than the taste of yeast. Fermented grain is what bread is supposed to taste like, Health-wise, the fermentation process changes the starch in the bread, making it more slowly digested and, in turn, reducing its effect on blood sugar. It also makes the minerals in the bread more readily absorbed. This effect is most prominent in sourdough breads, which are highly fermented. Also, when a bread is made this way, it has a chew to it, so we automatically eat it more slowly, building in a measure of portion control and tempering the rise in blood sugar level.The type of grain used is also very important, , and whole grain is best not only for its nutritional value but also for flavor.
Savor it
Approaching oven baked bread with the same appreciation as we approach wine means using all of your senses when you eat it, not just gobbling it mindlessly. Next time you eat a piece of bread, take a moment to experience it fully. Observe the color and thickness of its exterior and the density of the crumb. Listen for the cracking of the crust when you break it. Take a whiff of it, note its aroma, and when you take a bite, let its subtle flavors unfold as you chew.
Slowing down and savoring your food helps you eat less and enjoy more no matter what you are eating, but it could be an especially helpful tool for finding balance with bread.
.Scale down its intake
Choosing chewy, whole-grain breads made with simple ingredients and enjoying them slowly means you are getting the most flavor and nutrition and building in speed bumps to prevent overeating. Rethinking how you serve bread in the context of your meals can help you find a better balance as well.
Instead of making bread the main player, give it a supporting role on the plate. That means making open faced sandwiches or toast piled with vegetables and healthy protein. Cut loaves into thin slices, rather than thick. If you have a food scale, weigh a slice of the bread you buy,or, if packaged, get that information from the label. So you have a sense of what a 60 gram portion looks like, and keep that in mind when you serve yourself. In a restaurant, ask for the bread basket with the entree, not before, so that rather than filling up on it, you can enjoy it as an enhancement to the rest of the meal.
