Foods That May Cause Adverse Reactions
After several years in clinical practice, I have found that two major food groups are consistently related to health and weight management issues: these are wheat and dairy. The reason being that these important staples have been modified over the past 50 years causing health issues for most of us. Fortunately, there are a range of options readily available which provide quality nutrients.
Milk is no longer what it used to be. It is really important to source organic foods whenever possible to avoid the ever increasing contamination from chemicals and other toxins. Camel milk is a healthy option with many health benefits – it does not contain beta-Lactoglobulin and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and healing immmune proteins. It has also been shown to be beneficial for autistic children.
All too often the result of over-consumption of wheat and gluten, leads to significant digestive inflammation and bowel damage. Recent research has identified the link between a lack of correct microbiome in the gut to gluten intolerance – the loss of the microbes that help break down gluten leads to its build up and further gut inflammation. The prevalence of gluten intolerance is rising with more and more people, especially children, developing gluten intolerance.
Dr Gluten has an informative website and books offering helpful tips on preparing gluten meals and snacks. Most mums struggle with finding healthy packed lunches for day care and schools. When considering these options, remember to include fresh vegetables, fruit and good protein.
The obesity epidemic continues despite massive media promotions for ‘no fat’, ‘no sugar’, ‘Heart Foundation approved tick’. Foods that are often promoted as ‘healthy’ can often be quite the opposite. If I had to give just one recommendation to eating a healthy diet, it would be to eat as natural as possible – organic vegetables and fruit, organic meat and chicken, freshly caught local fish and purified water. Processed foods should be eliminated.
