Top 4 in Top 5 Health Benefits of Rye Bread
Rye bread may benefit your digestive health in a variety of ways. For starters, it's high in fiber, which can help keep your bowels regular. Soluble fiber absorbs water, allowing feces to remain big and soft and so easier to pass. In fact, one research of 51 individuals with constipation found that rye bread was more successful at relieving constipation than whole wheat bread and laxatives, with no negative side effects.
Other research has found that rye bread fiber can raise blood levels of short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. Weight loss decreased blood sugar levels, and protection against colon cancer have all been related to these short-chain fatty acids.
