This is the heart of the matter! We live in a world that is crazy for wheat. Any one who suffers
from mild glucose intolerance to celiac disease can attest to this fact.
The average American
may have toast, cereal, French toast, or pancakes for breakfast, pasta, pizza, or a sandwich for
lunch, and/or for dinner. Many families eat some form of wheat three times a day.
The typical
family may consume wheat at every meal and then again for snacks and deserts. Most of the
wheat that we consume today has been highly processes and refined. Wheat that has been
genetically modified may contain a gluten content of approximately 90%.
It’s also highly
probable that much of this overly processed wheat isn’t even recognized by our body as a proper
nutrient, thus potentially causing inflammation. This reaction may take the form of an allergic
reaction, produce arthritic symptoms, and promote disease and general ill health.
In addition, citrus fruits may cause some bodily inflammations in the body ; although it’s
important to remember that every one responds in different ways. Becoming aware of y our
body ’s response to different foods, including gluten, helps to understand how much is safe for
y our needs and y our family ’s health.
Remember that once you’re aware of the foods that are most beneficial for your health, it’s
still necessary to avoid excessive amounts of overly processed foods, fried foods, and foods that
contain hy drogenated oil.
Foods that are highly processed often contain additives and
preservatives that overtax the body due to their level of toxicity and their loss of nutritional value,
because of extended shelf-life!
