Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #803: Gluten Free Garlic Herb Salmon with Veggies

Being gluten free means avoiding foods that contain gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten-free foods include fresh fruits and vegetables, rice, potatoes, beans, nuts, soy products, dairy products, eggs, and gluten-free grains like quinoa, millet and buckwheat. Gluten-free diets can have a number of health benefits, including improved digestion, increased energy, increased mental clarity, and better overall health. People who suffer from gluten-sensitivity and celiac disease—in which gluten causes severe allergic reactions—can prevent recurring health issues by avoiding foods that contain gluten. Furthermore, those hoping to lose weight may also benefit from a gluten-free diet as gluten-containing foods are often high in calories and are difficult to digest. Whether you are dealing with an allergy or just looking to improve your overall health, going gluten-free can be an effective dietary choice.
