When followed accurately, gluten-free eating can have a positive impact on one’s health. For instance, studies have shown that going gluten-free can help reduce inflammation, a major cause of many physical and mental health issues. Additionally, the natural foods you eat while gluten-free are filled with nutrients like vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for health and wellness. All in all, being gluten-free is a beneficial way to improve mental and physical health if done properly.
