  • Whole-grain and sourdough breads are favored for fiber and improved mineral availability through fermentation, with seeded loaves adding omega-3s and anti-inflammatory nutrients.
  • Guidance urges shoppers to choose breads with short, natural ingredient lists and to avoid unnecessary additives such as preservatives or artificial colors.
  • Suggested morning drinks include turmeric latte, kombucha, apple cider vinegar, warm lemon water and ginger tea, each promoted for digestive or probiotic benefits.
