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.

It's Mango Season! Here's What You Need to Know

Lucky for tropical fruit lover's, mangos are in season from March until June. If you don't love them already, there are many reasons to become a mango-convert: They are an exceptional source of vitamin C—a 100 gram serving or a half-cup of mango pieces provides about half of a day’s requirement. Mangos have also been found to provide several antioxidant phytonutrients such as carotenoids (like beta-carotene), tocopherols (vitamin E relatives), and other phenolic and polyphenolic compounds (classes of plant chemicals that typically have antioxidant properties). One polyphenol called mangiferin, which is found in mango and several other plants, has attracted special attention from scientists due to its antioxidant activity and its potential health benefits.

Not only are mangos high in antioxidants, they also have a relatively low glycemic load: Researchers found that, compared with other tropical fruits, including pineapples, durians, and rambutans, mangos triggered a lower increase in blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. When you're at the store, you'll know a mango is ripe when it's skin is a deep golden yellow and it feels soft to the touch.
