It’s spring and, like many of my patients, you may be trying to get some extra weight off before summer and swimsuit season arrives. I’ve recently been asked about those expanding fiber diet products many have seen advertised on television and the Internet.

Whole grains have more nutrients than refined grains. Ancient grains—such as emmer wheat (farro), einkorn, kamut (khorasan wheat), spelt, barley, rye, triticale, semolina, durum, and buckwheat—are far more nutrient dense than modern American high-yield wheat.

I also am careful about eating cured meats, which can aggravate joints and promote gout.

His blog (www.wheatbellyblog.com) has had over 3 million visitors and it is chock full of testimonials backing up his theory. Although he […]
In the last several years, researchers have learned unequivocally that the process we normally think of as “aging” is really a process of disease-states taking hold on the body. The typical diseases of aging – diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, and even cancer – can all be outgrowths of free radical damage that sets cellular aging in place.
Want to find out which fruits and vegetable made the Environmental Working Group’s good list and which ones were naughty for 2013? The Environmental Working Group (EWG) recently released its annual Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce list and the results are surprising. The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure. Use EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides to reduce your exposures as much as possible, but eating conventionally-grown produce is far better than not eating fruits and vegetables at all. The Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce will help you determine which fruits and […]
