Why is it Bad?  How Can I Avoid it?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gluten is a glue-like composite found naturally in grains like wheat, rye and barley. It is a sticky storage protein that when combined with water, becomes glue-like inside the digestive tract this reaction may result in gluten binding to the wall of the small intestine where it may cause digestive and immune system disorders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A far greater percentage of people are choosing to go gluten free for various health reasons, so don\u2019t worry, you are not alone!\u00a0 One of the reasons people might be showing more sensitivity to gluten is due to the fact that our diets have become more processed, and processed foods are far more likely to contain gluten.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is that the bulk of fast foods contain gluten (pizza, hamburgers and hot dog rolls, sandwiches, biscuits, cakes, batter and crumbs on fish, chicken and vegetables, beer, many soy sauces and gravies all contain gluten).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>If you are ever in doubt, nutritional labels are your friend<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many \u201chealth foods\u201d have traditionally been whole wheat, rye or oat based, unfortunately all contain gluten.\u00a0 This means that they are not an ideal option for those gluten intolerant individuals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most dieticians recommend that everyone cuts down on or avoid gluten completely, and returns to a more natural way of eating to restore the body\u2019s natural digestion and thus increase one\u2019s energy levels.\u00a0 Rice and rice cakes, all maize or corn products, millet, buckwheat, Quinoa, amaranth, rice, sweet potato and potatoes are gluten free and make a delicious option.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>There are easy work-arounds<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, eating gluten free isn\u2019t difficult as long as a person knows what to look for.\u00a0 Fortunately, there are many alternatives to the grains that contain gluten, it is just a matter of knowing what they are.\u00a0 This is achieved by becoming familiar with the varieties of grains that contain gluten and reading labels of products that aren\u2019t well known.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your health will improve so much that you won\u2019t mind forgoing foods that contain gluten, I hope this helps you on your way to a leaner, healthier body.\u00a0 Nutritional change Gluten-sensitive people don\u2019t need to sacrifice, they simply need to switch.\u00a0 For example, instead of eating wheat bread, people with gluten intolerance can eat bread made of rice flour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-144602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5.png 950w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-300x126.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some easy substitutes and examples:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Breakfast<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of oats, try one of the following: rice cakes, creamy meal, polenta, millet, malta bella, tasty wheat, but you also get gluten free oats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Lunch<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of bread and wraps, make your own pancakes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use millet, rice or tapioca flour, or a combination of them all.\u00a0 Add 3 egg whites, Stevia to taste, a pinch of Himalayan rock salt and water or fat free milk to get desired texture.\u00a0 Cook them in a pan with spray and cook until they are golden brown. Serve with anything inside like chicken, ostrich steak or fillet with salad or coleslaw.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This meal is generally gluten free in most instances, but never eat any crumbed fish or chicken.\u00a0 Everything should either be grilled or dry fried and served with vegetables or a salad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dinner<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dinner time is gluten free in most instances, the bog focus here is to stay away from crumbed fish or chicken products.\u00a0 All meats and wraps are to be grilled or fried in healthy oils such as coconut oil, and combined with a colourful array of vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please contact Urban Wellbeing for a complimentary, in depth consultation of your needs until the end of February.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email booking &amp; inquiries &#8211; <\/span><\/i><a href=\"mailto:info@urbanwellbeing.life\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">info@urbanwellbeing.life<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website \u2013 www.urbanwellbeing.life<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disclaimer &#8211; Urban wellbeing and its associates offers health and fitness information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.\u00a0\u00a0 You should consult your physician or general practitioner before beginning a new fitness program.\u00a0 You should not rely on this information as a substitute for, nor does it replace, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.\u00a0 If you have any questions or concerns about your health, you should always consult with a physician, general practitioner, or other qualified healthcare professional.\u00a0 Do not disregard, avoid or delay obtaining medical or health related advice from your healthcare professional because of something you may have read in our publications or lectures.\u00a0 The use of information provided though the urban wellness service is solely at your own risk and is not medical or healthcare advice.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gluten is a glue-like composite found naturally in grains like wheat, rye and barley.
