The term “gluten-free diet” is often confused with other diets such as the keto diet, paleo diet or the Atkins diet. Just like most diets, people assume a gluten-free diet will help aid and/or result in weight loss.
The truth of the matter is that in this case, it’s more about being on a special diet for health reasons rather than to achieve a weight loss or fitness goal. People who get on a gluten-free diet are unable to digest the gluten that’s found in wheat and some grains.
To be technical (and in short), gluten is a substance present in cereal grains, especially wheat that is responsible ..read more

There is nothing wrong with eating with your eyes. A good meal should be visually appealing, something which is well known by chefs, for whom the assembly of the plate is a fundamental part of their art.
The colors are the main visual ingredient and a good selection not only contributes to the dish being beautiful and attractive, but it is a very useful tool to create healthy and revitalizing menus.
The colors of the food reveal its health benefits
In nature, colors are useful for many animals to find their food. Bees find nectar because they are attracted by the striking colors of flowers.

flushed
out of your body and how specifically does this occur…moreover,
does detoxing actually work?
In
this post I am going to focus on green detox, but before I delve into
that program, for those of you who do not know what detoxing is…in
brief…

We’ve
all heard that juicing is great for our health, and yet most people
don’t do it. They’d rather chomp on burgers and guzzle down sodas
instead of enduring some juice made with kale and beet.
While
you can let things slide when you’re young, as you get old, juicing
becomes more important than ever. With age comes a deterioration in
health, appetite, gut function and much more. The risks of getting
diseases, pain and other nasty consequences start to rise.
Juicing
is extremely beneficial to seniors and this article will give you six
reasons why you should make it a part of your daily ..read more
