How to be healthy is a topic with many opinions. There are opinions about a large group of different special diets. The negative health symptoms caused by the consumption of certain foods are a very big challenge today.
Gluten sensitivity is one of those symptomatic challenges that so many people struggle with.
As you explore and venture into a gluten-free diet, you may find that all of your troubling symptoms go away. Symptoms you were hoping eliminating gluten would resolve. Maybe some symptoms have stopped or subsided, but others you thought might be gluten-related still give you grief.
Also, let’s ask the question, are you still eating a diet consisting of manufactured, processed, commercial foods? Is the only change that the foods you eat now contain no gluten?
Many people who are gluten sensitive, have celiac disease, or are gluten intolerant simply swap the same potentially toxic, commercially processed foods for toxic gluten-free foods. All of the preservatives, additives, and toxic chemicals are still there and can contribute to many of the symptoms you’re hoping to stop and control.
What is the solution? Go organic. So look for the organic seal on all food you buy. Organic food may cost more for certain items, but what is your health and well-being worth to you. If you prefer to eliminate symptoms that may be related to hidden gluten and additives through the use of medicines or would rather pay a little more for your organic diet.
Organic means clean food, no preservatives, no chemical additives, no binding agents. Flavor enhancers or ingredients with lab names that you can’t pronounce and have no idea what they are. Organic foods are grown naturally in the soil without the addition of synthetic compounds.
One of the benefits of eating organic foods is that you can also test to see if any of the additives in the commercially processed foods you’ve eaten are contributing to any symptoms.
Organic is the healthiest for you and the environment on earth? Here’s another benefit of eating organic: you become part of the solution to a healthier planet and a sustainable future for all of us. While making significant changes to your diet, e.g. B. going gluten-free, you should make other significant changes, e.g. B. Eating organic foods as part of a Paleo diet or a whole foods diet. It’s a serious win-win for you and your health, and for helping solve an important environmental issue we’re all facing.
What we eat has an impact on the world’s environmental health. Eating organic gluten-free foods makes it clear that you not only care about the chemicals that go into your body, but also about all the chemicals that are pumped into the earth through non-organic commercial farming.
Going gluten-free is just part of the equation for becoming healthier and reaching new levels of health and quality of life. Making your gluten-free lifestyle organic will serve you well.
Gluten-free organic foods are plentiful
The gluten-free food industry includes organic foods. In addition to the foods that replace foods that normally contain gluten, there are also all organic foods that are naturally grain-free and gluten-free. Organic vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, mushrooms, garlic, onions and all those other wonderful healthy foods are all the healthier when they are organically grown.
Organic grains that are gluten-free are the best type of grains you can eat, such as amaranth, quinoa, millet, rice, buckwheat, and non-corn are choices if you want gluten-free grains in your diet. Organic foods also help you avoid GM (genetically modified) ingredients.
Another organic diet that is really good for you is the paleo diet. The hunter-gatherer’s diet was supposed to be organic, the caveman’s diet was organic.
Before the industrialization of agriculture and food production, the word “organic” was not needed to distinguish naturally grown and commercially grown foods.
One way to see how natural organic food should be for everyone’s diet is to realize that food has been organic for centuries and has only been industrialized for a very short time. There is evidence that food industrialization is partly responsible for the rise of the gluten sensitivity epidemic.
Changing your gluten-free diet to an organic gluten-free diet makes perfect sense and is clearly the healthiest choice. In fact, an organic, whole-food diet, or paleo diet, may ultimately be the healthiest diet for you.
Take the plunge and go organic all the way.
