7 Common Signs That You’re Consuming Too Much Bread
It is estimated that each American eats 53 pounds of bread per year. The reasons are very simple since bread is delicious, convenient, and can be easily transported anywhere. However, like most things that taste so good, bread also has its negative effects on the human body. And when our bodies are bothered, they send signs so we can take care of the problem.
HealthNews would like to warn you about 7 of the most worrisome signs that your bread consumption must be cut down.
1. You are getting constipated.
People who are intolerant to gluten or suffer from Celiac disease but are unaware of it might constantly feel bloated. Not only that, but they have trouble going to the bathroom since their gut feels blocked. You may not be intolerant to gluten but have a high sensitivity when you consume wheat and other grains. The best thing to do in this case is to take a series of tests with your doctor so you can see whether gluten is harming you.
Remember that in almost all countries, about 0.5%-1% of the population has Celiac disease. This means that even if you suffer from it, there are plenty of substitutes that you can enjoy.

2. You get hungrier.
It’s true that highly refined grains, such as white bread, white rice, pretzels, and crackers are high in calories. And the way they work is by making you want to eat more due to their sugar content. That’s why when you feel extra sad or stressed, you reach for those refined grains that will momentarily make you feel better.
That’s why you might also be noticing weight gain, something that can be easily averted if you convert to whole grain products. A study has proven that these products can help you lose belly fat faster than refined grains. And that’s because they contain more vitamins and minerals. But this doesn’t mean that you can overdo it with their consumption.
3. Your cholesterol levels are increasing.
