Salt

Bread tends to get a bad rap for its salt content. But many brands now offer reduced-sodium varieties, which is good news because salt is known for causing water retention and raising blood pressure.

As long as you consume it in moderation and get a nice variety, bread is not your enemy. Try alternating between multi-grain, whole wheat, rye and high-fiber for the most benefits.
