White bread
Just like white rice and brown rice, white bread isn’t as good for you as brown bread.
In white bread, the flour has been refined so it is low in fibre.
Dr Lee advises everyone to always go for wholemeal bread made with brown, wholegrain flour, especially if you’re constipated.
Regularly eating brown bread will help to avoid constipation.
White pasta
Again, for all the reasons you should choose brown rice or bread over white rice or bread, you should pick brown pasta instead of white pasta.
Dr Lee advises everyone to pick brown or wholemeal pasta instead of white to avoid and treat constipation.
