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.

Wearable Tech Discovers the Secrets of Your Sweat

Wearable technology—from smart clothes to smartwatches—has come into the mainstream. Yet, as popular as they already are, scientists and entrepreneurs are constantly looking for ways to take these bite-sized, body-hugging chips and gadgets into unchartered areas. One recent development—wearables that can track biochemicals in sweat—could prove to be a huge breakthrough for researchers doing clinical studies, and even for the non-research-inclined fitness buff at home. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, a team at the University of California Berkeley has developed a monitor that is small enough to wear and can analyze multiple compounds in sweat at once. Previous sweat monitors tended to be too large to be practical, and could only measure one compound at a time. If the Berkeley team’s sweat monitor proves to be viable in the long run, it could help add a whole new dimension to current fitness trackers by providing information about the wearer at the molecular level. Of course, there is more research that needs to be done to flesh out certain problems, such as the gaps that could form between the skin and the sensors. Nevertheless, biochemical monitoring looks like it’s on the horizon, and is another example of wearable tech pushing boundaries without even breaking a sweat.
