3 reasons why sourdough bread helps lower blood sugar and reduce visceral fat

Good for the intestines

Fermenting sourdough bread can lead to increased amounts of prebiotic- and probiotic-like properties, which can improve gut health and influence metabolism, reducing visceral fat.

Better digestion

Consuming sourdough bread may help improve gluten digestion. The fermentation process of sourdough bread changes the enzymes in the wheat and may help counteract adverse reactions to gluten.

Maintain healthy blood sugar levels

We get blood sugar spikes when we eat simple carbohydrates like sugar and refined grains, especially when not combined with protein and fat (two nutrients that slow digestion).

Sourdough bread has a lower glycemic index and glycemic load than white bread and unleavened whole wheat bread. Whole wheat sourdough bread has more fiber, which also reduces the impact on your blood sugar.

Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels also affects weight loss and effectively reduces visceral fat in the body.
