Undoubtedly, one of the most beloved and widely consumed foods is bread... As experts highlight the health hazards of white bread, intriguing results have emerged from a recent study. Experts have revealed that sourdough bread can lower blood pressure.
The harmful effects of white bread are well-known to everyone. However, recent research has shed light on the benefits of a particular type of bread: sourdough bread. The use of sourdough dates back to the bakers of Ancient Egypt. Studies have demonstrated that sourdough bread is healthier compared to other bread types.
Experts from University Hospitals have made statements regarding sourdough. They asserted, 'Its high fiber content can contribute to lowering cholesterol levels and supporting healthy blood pressure. Furthermore, due to the fermentation process, it can enhance mineral absorption, thereby bolstering cardiovascular functions.'
A study conducted in 2024 shed light on the noticeable differences in individuals who consumed sourdough bread for a period of two months. It was observed that those who incorporated this bread into their diet experienced relaxed blood vessels and a reduction in blood pressure. Experts pointed out that 'Since the glycemic index of sourdough bread is lower compared to white bread, it doesn't cause such a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.'
