A gluten-free diet in Abu Dhabi has become increasingly popular in recent months and there are more gluten-free products in our supermarkets, yet most people are still in the dark when it comes to the health benefits of a gluten-free diet.
Gluten is basically a special type of protein that is found in foods such as cereals, some grains and of course, wheat. The main purpose of gluten is to keep the elasticity intact in foods during the fermentation phase of food production. With the addition of gluten, bread become enjoyably “chewy,” and prevents other foods from having a sticky, doughy-like texture.
Gluten free diets are more popular in Abu Dhabi
With the recent increase of people being diagnosed with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, the idea of a gluten-free diet has been recently researched by doctors as well as weight loss specialists, bariatric physicians, and dietitians.
A gluten-free diet can have a variety of health benefits and is known for reducing cholesterol levels, digestive health and increasing levels of energy – if you are prone to a gluten intolerance.
A gluten free diet means no fried foods, sugary desserts and fat – whatosever.
Benefits of avoiding processed foods
Many foods that are processed contain chemicals and artificial flavours and contain a lot of gluten, which is definitely unhealthy for you. On a gluten-free diet in the absence of bread, pastries and donuts, fatty foods and sugary sweets, you would most likely start to eat even more fruits and vegetables because your food choices are reduced, albeit in a good way and these are food sources that are non-starchy and almost completely gluten free.
Avoiding gluten products helps to:
- reduce the risk of heart disease
- certain cancers
- diabetes
- ward off viruses and germs
- encourage a different way of eating
- promote the daily consumption of more fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry and meat
- eat the foods that are full of antioxidants
- stick with a diet that has more vitamins and minerals
That’s got to be good news! 🙂
