What Is A Sandwich?
Mums and Dads worldwide love sandwiches because they don’t require cutlery so there’s less washing up! They are portable too, making them ideal for school and work lunches away from home.
Although all sandwiches consist of two pieces of bread or similar carbohydrates, which serve as a wrapper for some other ingredients, they’re not all the same. Some may not be healthful, even actively promoting disease! For example, processed meats such as ham, corned beef, salami or sausage, and smoked chicken or fish, which are common sandwich fillings, are all linked to chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
And highly saturated fat spreads such as butter or refined vegetable oil spreads like margarine may clog up your arteries or promote inflammation.
So what are you feeding your family on a daily basis?
