Bread, roti, naan breads, flat breads...the list goes on and on, needless to say, every culture has some form of bread or wheat based food in their diet which is enjoyed by most on a daily basis. But have you ever thought why we have never questioned the wheat we eat.
Most people think the wheat we eat today is the same as the wheat our forefathers eat and if I'm honest with you I would never had questioned the so called 'goodness' of the wheat I have been eating my entire life, if it wasn't for the fact I was sharing my research with other similar minded individuals who were questioning what we were being fed. As with any new knowledge I had to research it for myself. It didn't take too long for me to make up my mind and not fearing any loss I cut out wheat from my diet, surprisingly I lost one and a half stones within a six month period. I read a book called Wheat Belly http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/ which opened my eyes to the fact that the wheat grain has been altered strain by strain over many decades.
Apart from the obvious weight benefits there are many more health and well being gains to be made by giving up wheat and leading a gluten free lifestyle. Giving up wheat and gluten was easy, but trying to convince others was not so easy, it is a huge change because as with the other additives and chemicals that are mentioned in this blog, there will be very few items you will be able to purchase in a supermarket.
You'll find that going back to basics and cooking your own food from scratch is the only way forward. Don't be fooled by the "fresh" labelling on packaging, just think how many miles food has to be transported and kept in storage. It doesn't take that long to make your own juice from fruit, the hardest part is pulling yourself away from the brainwashing box (tv). Think about you health and pass on the information to others.
