We Have Information on Gluten-Free and Several Other Unique Diets Available For Your Family.

Gluten Free

What does following a gluten-free diet mean? That you're embarking on an easy diet with a wide range of health-promoting effects. Instead of dwelling on what you’re giving up, consider that you’re going to enjoy a whole new world of delicious food options to meet your special dietary needs. You’ll be eating seasonally, choosing more fresh fruits and vegetables, focusing on meats, seafood, poultry, legumes, lentils, corn, and rice, and discovering fascinating ancient grains such as quinoa, amaranth, and millet. You’ll be able to eat potatoes, eggs, most cheeses, even chocolate (!)—and enjoy them without guilt because you’ll be taking good care of your body. In fact, you’ll probably end up eating—and feeling—better than ever!

Raw Foods

“Raw” is all the rage these days, but what does it mean to eat raw? And is it possible to get enough protein and other nutrients while following a raw diet?

Raw foods are those that have not been heated above 108°F to 118°F

Raw, defined

Most raw foodists eat only plant-based (vegan) foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, and seaweed. Raw foods are those that have not been heated above 108°F to 118°F, depending on who you talk to. The logic behind this is that many of the nutrients in foods are extremely sensitive to heat. This is especially true of the water-soluble vitamins, like the B-vitamins, folate, and vitamin C. As Katie McDonald, a raw food chef and certified Holistic Health Coach in Rhode Island puts it, “The more you do to a food, the less it does for you.”

Raw food advocates also look to the enzyme content of raw foods, saying that cooking destroys delicate enzymes that could otherwise go toward improving the digestion of the foods you’re eating.

Don’t Forget About Black Tea

Green tea is a popular beverage known for its health-boosting properties, but it may not be the only tea with health benefits. According to a recent article on the website Healthline, black tea might be an alternative worth exploring. Black tea comes from the same plant as green tea, Camellia sinensis. The difference between the two lies in how they are processed—with black tea the leaves are allowed to fully oxidize, whereas with green tea the leaves undergo only minimal oxidation, producing a different chemical profile. Black tea does have antioxidants in it, although it appears to contain less than green tea; one study showed that black tea steeped in hot water (90 degrees Celsius) for two minutes released a considerable amount of antioxidants, but green tea released 2.5 times as many. Black tea may also reduce the risk of dental caries, and some, but not all, observational studies have suggested that black tea may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, it does appear that green tea has been studied more extensively. So if you’re drinking tea simply for its health benefits, green tea is probably a better choice.
