According to nutritionist Noémie Combremont, eating a certain type of bread every day can have many health benefits.
In France, buying bread regularly is a reflex that we all have. Even if our consumption has decreased, these foods are essential on our table. According to the QualiQuanti study, French people ate 105 grams of bread per day during the week in 2021, compared to 114 grams in 2015, while 75% of respondents eat it every day. However, some types are better for our health than others. According to nutritionists, which favors are better in Lidl?
What is the best bread to buy at Lidl?
On her Instagram account, nutritionist Noémie Combremont reveals the best bread to buy from a German discounter. Like many products sold at Lidl, this one is sold at a very affordable price, not to mention that the bakery section has many choices. “I recommend wholemeal bread. It has more nutrients, less sugar and more fiber than white bread”, she says in her video. She also clarifies that it brings a lot of satisfaction.
In addition, it also offers advice on how to better store these foods bought at Lidl. According to her, it can be placed in the refrigerator as well as in the freezer. Of course, it may soften a little, but when you want to eat it, you can put it in the toaster, so that it regains all its flavor.
What are the benefits of wholemeal bread?
In fact, wholemeal bread is often recommended over white bread. The latter is made from white flour, while the whole is made from whole grains that preserve all the nutrients. Hence, it is more rich in fiber. It also has a low glycemic index, as the spread of sugar into the blood slows down and cravings for snacks are reduced. As with all foods, consuming wholemeal bread will not make you gain weight, as long as it is consumed in moderation and as part of a varied and balanced diet.

Moreover, wholemeal bread can also prevent certain diseases. For example, according to a meta-analysis published in 2011, a whole grain diet can limit the risk of type 2 diabetes by 30%. They can also reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, polyps, as well as obesity and abdominal weight gain.
Finally, whole loaves can be made from many flours. Rye flour, for example, is very rich in protein, minerals, vitamins and fiber. It provides good intestinal transit. As for oatmeal, it is more popular among athletes, to lose weight and increase muscle mass.
