Allergies
When it comes to choosing grain products, it’s a jungle out there. Claims of “multi-grain, stone ground and 100% wheat” can make one’s head to spin. Throw in additional claims or “source of fiber, fat-free, all-natural and organic” and product labels become a labyrinth of marketing terms. For the more than 330,000 Canadians who have been diagnosed with celiac disease, selecting typical grocery items like bread, cereal, crackers and muffins comes with an added layer of complexity, as Celiac Disease is an allergic response to the protein gluten found in many common grains. The gluten in wheat is particularity troublesome, even for those without Celiac. Zoomers suffering with Chron’s, Colitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease often find relief when selecting wheat-free grains that are lower in gluten than their “whole wheat” counterparts.

When it comes to choosing grain products, it’s a jungle out there. Claims of “multi-grain, stone ground and 100% wheat” can make one’s head to spin. Throw in additional claims or “source of fibre, fat-free, all-natural and organic” and product labels become a labyrinth of marketing terms. The MOST important factor when consuming grains is that they are whole. When choosing a grain product, from cereal bars to bread, flip the package over and check the ingredients list. If you see the words, “Whole grain rye, spelt, rice, etc.”, then you are on the right track.

Would you say that as a kid, you could eat just about anything (and a lot of it), and digest it just fine? Would you also say that as an aging adult, you now have to avoid certain foods and/or beverages, or you’re more likely to react with a headache, or bloating and gas, or some other kind of inconvenient misery? You could easily have a food intolerance, and I want to tell you about a brand-new treatment that could help you in a way nothing else has been able to until now. This treatment goes way beyond avoiding the foods that turn you inside-out.

Healthy Tidbits
In this century, the world will have more people living into their 80s and 90s than ever before, with the number of people 80+ set to quadruple between 2000 and 2050.
Increased life expectancy is largely due to improvements in public health, and healthy ageing is linked directly to health in earlier stages of life.
Although it is natural for biological processes to decline with age, the rate at which our body’s decline is impacted by many controllable lifestyle factors such as how we eat, how we move, and how many toxic substances we are exposed to.
