Bread is not the enemy. In fact, it is a wonderful addition to meals found in blue zone regions where higher populations of centenarians live (those who live past 100 years of age).
When they do eat bread it is predominantly sourdough, or a 100% wholegrain bread. Bread should be slowly fermented over a long period to reduce gluten, and eaten in moderation. When you do these things bread will impact your life in a positive way just as the Lord intended bread to do!
I read an article at https://www.bluezones.com/recipes/food-guidelines/ that stated “Traditional sourdough breads actually lower the glycemic load of meals, making your entire meal healthier, slower burning, easier on your pancreas, and more likely to make calories available as energy than stored as fat”. It’s no coincidence that the original ancient farro grains found in the Fertile Crescent during early civilization are all low in gluten, and full of fiber. God didn’t make bread bad, our culture did that.
Now go bake a loaf of some good whole grain sourdough!
