Standard white toast offers little fiber and digests fast.

Why this swap matters

Sourdough fermentation supports mineral absorption and may improve blood sugar response compared with standard bread. Adding flax, pumpkin, or sunflower seeds increases fiber and healthy fats.

The swap

Swap white toast for wholegrain sourdough topped with seeds.
