Who Needs to Follow a Gluten-Free Diet?

With celebrities endorsing gluten-free diets and numerous studies claiming that gluten is a potentially harmful compound, it’s no wonder that more people are going gluten-free every year. A gluten-free diet excludes all gluten-containing foods. Gluten is a protein that is naturally found in a range of grains, including wheat, rye, barley, and spelt. Even some foods that don’t naturally contain gluten may be contaminated with the protein if manufactured in the same warehouse as gluten-containing grains. Gluten is often added to foods to enhance their texture. It acts as a binding agent and adds extra flavor to these foods. Therefore, you might spot gluten on the nutritional labels of a wide range of food products in the grocery store. It’s even found in some beauty and cosmetics products too. 

EGGS - PROTEIN OF THE WEEK

Happy New Month Loves! Let's kick of this month with one of my favorite ingredients I use in the kitchen many times. Eggs! I love eggs, if I could I would eat everyday which really is not recommended by nutritionists or dieticians. Every other day is cool though. I have cooked with eggs very many times, whether it is on their own like my tomato scrambled eggs and bacon cilantro scrambled eggs, my ugandan rolex which had fried eggs and used the eggs in pancakes or even baked goods. I just realized I haven't cooked with boiled eggs, coming soon later on this month. Eggs are the most nutritious good since they contain so many essential nutrients like Vitamin A B2 B5 B6 B12 E, Calcium and Zinc. They contain anti oxidants that help prevent mascular degenaration and cataracts. The high protein in eggs helps reduce calorie intake in the day because they are satiating.
