To be gluten free simply means to choose food that does not contain the protein gluten. Gluten is found in most grain products like wheat, rye and barley. Some people have gluten sensitivities and are required to follow a gluten free diet. A gluten free diet consists of many foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, quinoa, rice, dairy and eggs. Gluten free individuals may experience a number of health improvements such as increased energy levels, better mental clarity, healthy gut bacteria balance, and a decrease in digestive issues like bloating and constipation. A gluten free diet can also help promote overall long-term health as it can be lower in unhealthy fats and sugar than traditional diets that aren’t gluten-free. Making the switch to a gluten free lifestyle can absolutely be a beneficial one! Good luck on your journey to healthier and happier you!
