Does Challah possess anything that would usually be considered unhealthy ?
I have seen claims that any more than, or 2 slices of white bread daily, can cause cancer!!
Whether this is correct or not. All agree that
Wholemeal bread is better. Just like wholegrain everything is better.
I personally have sensitive bowels, and wholemeal bread makes them go (and thus I would probably lose more nutrients). But I am better off avoiding white bread and wholemeal, but finding an alternative.
I do have white bread sometimes. But if my bowels could take wholemeal, I would never have white bread. Except a slice of challah on shabbat!
you could get baby challah if you do not want to waste a whole challah by throwing it out!!
I know it`s a shame, a big challah is so tasty, and stays soft for most of the week.. It is white and fluffy, and hard to believe it is unhealthy..
I can actually detect how much sugar/starch is in me.. I know when I have had too much..
Bread breaks down very quickly into sugar..
Wholegrains also break down, but much slower, nd that is far healthier. You get a steady stream of energy.
Chaim`s diet is no doubt very healthy. But he is in his 50s. Probably not doing lots of exercise. Young people should eat lots of healthy food.
If one has surplus calories(a unit of energy), even after healthy food, then exercise to use that energy either to improve the heart and lungs or for the muscles like irongreek! Or both.
I am one of the few people on the forum that has to eat MORE! Though whatever I eat, I do not put on much weight. Unless I have 3 or 4 weddings in a week, only then do I put on a little bit, which comes off by the end of the week. Or almost overnight.
