Choose Whole Grain Instead (Thursdays are for Health)

51vgqldEQML“As you begin to fill your diet with more living foods, also be intentional about cutting out refined carbohydrates. Opt instead for whole grain products. Whole grain varieties (which are also complex carbohydrates) retain the fiber and nutrients that have been stripped from white carbohydrates, so they interact with your body in an entirely different way.

One note of caution: Be wary of breads and other baked goods that are simply labeled “whole wheat”. Those are often just white bread products with a little coloring added. Make sure you read the nutrition label, and only buy products where whole grain components are first on the list of ingredients.”

– Nelson Searcy, Steve Reynolds & Jennifer Dykes Henson

The above quote is from p. 87 of The Healthy Renegade Pastor: Abandoning Average in Your Health and Wellness.
