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.

Get the Dirt on the Latest Superfood Trend: Beets

Venture past the produce aisle and you’ll find beets-galore: crunchy beet chips; marinated, single-serving baby beets; organic beet juices; and concentrated beet powders. So, what’s the deal with beets’ new-found fame? For one thing, beets are an excellent source of folic acid and manganese, and a good source of potassium and vitamin C. And research has found that beets may boost performance for intense, intermittent exercise and enhance endurance during activities like swimming and cycling—making them a go-to for athletes. Beets may also have cardiovascular benefits: Daily supplementation with beet juice was linked to lower blood pressure in at least one study.

While beet products abound, it’s important to remember that beet content varies from product to product, so be sure to read the label to see how much beet you’re getting for your buck. If you’re looking for beet-quantity, products geared toward athletes, like powdered concentrates and juice blends, tend to squeeze in the most beets. However, if you’re more concerned with pleasing your taste buds than downing a bundle of beets, marinated honey and ginger beets, cinnamon and sugar beet chips, and chocolatey, beet-laced baked goods may feed your beet need.
