Eat whole grains instead of multi grain

Make sure that the breads and crackers that you buy, say "WHOLE" grain.This can easily be confused with multi grain -which means that the contents have more than one grain listed in the ingredients, but still have processed flour.There are more breads and crackers coming onto the market that are made from whole wheat or whole oat or rye flour. Another good reminder is to look at the list of ingredients.You want to keep it simple, try to avoid breads or crackers with a long paragraph of ingredients -no high fructose corn syrup, preservatives or hydrogenated oils.The first ingredient should say whole wheat or whole oat or rye flour.Put breads with no preservatives in the fridge or freezer , this will keep the bread longer.
