Our bodies are amazing and we need to fuel them with the appropriate
nutrients. Every single time we move, speak, breathe, think, or our
hearts beat, we are using calories. What does our body do with the
food we eat? Why does it matter if we eat or don't eat vegetables and
fruit? Why is too much sugar a bad thing? These are some of the
questions I asked myself before I started my nutrition journey and
these are some of the questions I will be answering in my nutrition
blog.
But why did I decide to take this journey? When my son was about to
turn 3, I found out he had a sensitivity to gluten and dairy. His
occupational therapist let me borrow a new book, Grain Brain. I was
immediately captivated by the author's take on nutrition. He
recommended a high fat, low carbohydrate diet and he explained what
grains actually do to our bodies.
Gluten sensitivity is becoming a reality for more and more people.
Since I must accommodate my son's diet, a lot of my recipes are
gluten and dairy free. Even if you do not have a gluten sensitivity I
hope you will try some of my gluten free recipes!
Learning what food does to our bodies, whether it be positive or
negative, has become a passion for me. I hope you will be here with
me as I cover many topics and answer as many questions as I can
pertaining to nutrition and wellness!
Thank you for reading and I hope you have a fabulous day!
