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.

Probiotics for Pets? You Bet

Have you ever noticed your pets looking up at you resentfully as you down supplements for better health, while all they get to eat is a bowl of dry kibble? If so, there could be a way to win back their affection—the Wall Street Journal reported that companies are increasingly offering probiotic products for pets. Some of these companies even have a few studies showing that probiotics can prevent or ease diarrhea in cats and dogs, especially in stressed animals. For example, a small study presented in 2011 found that dogs given probiotics for stress-related diarrhea recovered two days earlier than dogs receiving a placebo. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the science on the use of probiotics for pets lags behind the research on probiotics for humans; therefore, according to scientists, it is not necessarily advisable to give probiotics to pets for general health maintenance. Additionally, not all products are created equal—some do not contain the ingredients stated on the label, while other labels fail to clearly list the ingredients. This makes it especially important to find a trusted brand, or even better, to consult with a veterinarian before making a purchase.
