Gluten Free Diets

Oct 1 |00:00

A healthy, well balanced diet is the best option for anyone. Just because you’ve cut out gluten doesn’t mean you no longer have to worry about calories, sodium and fat in the other foods you’re eating.

Gluten is a protein found in barley, rye and wheat. It’s what gives food its elasticity. As awareness has grown regarding Celiac and gluten intolerance so has the occurrence of gluten free products on the market. This makes a gluten free diet as easy to follow as a regular grain diet. However, you may find that gluten free products are a lot more expensive.

When choosing to follow a gluten free diet remember to create a healthy diet with a good balance of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats. Protein can come from lean red meat, chicken, fish, eggs or beans which are all gluten free. Fruit and vegetables contain no gluten and should be eaten daily. Not all grains contain gluten so you don’t have to cut out grain all together. You will be able to eat brown rice, wild rice, qu

Why Acai Berries Are So Great

Sep 1 |00:00

Today, the acai berry is one of the most talked about things in modern society. Acai berry products today are very much in demand and even celebrities are endorsing it. So, what is it exactly about this fruit that it caught the attention of the entire modern world?

Well, for starters, you have to remember that the acai berry was already being consumed by the natives in South America for centuries because of its medicinal properties. The western world is just discovering its benefits because the acai berry fruit easily loses its potency once it is harvested, which made it unsuitable for exporting. However, thanks to modern preservation methods, such as flash freezing, it is now possible to export the acai berry from South America to any part of the world without losing its potency.

This is basically why the acai berry is just becoming popular in the modern world today. So, what exactly can acai berry do for you? What are its benefits to your overall well-being?

Summer Barbeques

Aug 1 |00:00

Meat
Marinating your meat before placing it on the grill will bring flavour and tenderness to your meat. You can make your own marinade or buy one from the store. When purchasing a marinade look for ones that are low in sodium and sugar. It’s best to marinade your meat overnight so the meat soaks up most of the marinade.

Once you’re ready to put the meat on the grill start the barbeque 5 to 10 minutes before if you’re using gas or propane or 45mins to an hour if using wood chips or coal. You want the grill to be hot but not flaming. If the barbeque is still flaming your char the outside of the meat but the inside will remain uncooked. Once the barbeque is nice and hot turn down the burner and put your meat on. Cook chicken and other white meats for at least 30 to 45mins. When you cut into the meat it should not be pink and the juices should run clear. For red meat the cooking time will vary depending on how you and your guests like it cooked.

Got Milk Substitutes?

Aug 1 |00:00

Goat’s Milk
Because it comes from an animal, goat’s milk is most similar to cow’s milk but is easier to digest for those who struggle with the protein found in cow’s milk. Goat’s milk still contains lactose so should be avoided by those who are intolerant. There is a much tangier taste to goat’s milk than there is to cow’s milk so you may not want to drink it but it is great as a substitute in baking, especially in savoury dishes.

Soy Milk
Soy milk has been around for a number of years and is the most common milk substitute. Because soy milk doesn’t contain any lactose it’s a great choice for people who are intolerant but it’s also a popular choice for people who avoid animal products in their diet. Soy milk is a lower source or protein but most are fortified with calcium and vitamin D. The fat content in soy milk is similar to 1% milk but it is lower in saturated fat. It may take some time to get used to the taste and texture of soy milk if you’re used to drinking cow’s milk.
