Being gluten free means consciously avoiding food that contains a certain protein found in wheat, rye and barley. This is important for people who are sensitive to gluten, and those who have a medical diagnosis of either celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Eating gluten free also has many potential benefits, even if you don’t suffer from an sensitivity. Gluten free foods include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains such as quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth, eggs, nuts and seeds, and gluten-free substitute grains like granola and oats. People who follow a gluten free diet tend to eat less processed foods than those who don’t, and as a result, get more fiber, vitamins and minerals, all of which can greatly improve your health. Additionally, gluten free diets have been linked to a decrease in inflammation, overall improved mental well being, and even a boosted immune system. All in all, there are many benefits to incorporating gluten free foods into your daily diet.
