When we hear the word diet mentioned we naturally think of weight loss, but healthy diets are about more than just shredding fat. If you have a gluten intolerance or have been diagnosed with celiac disease, then eating a nutritious diet that is free from wheat based ingredients is a must. Diabetics also require careful dieting to monitor their sugar levels.
There are numerous ingredients that can upset our health balance, and because our bodies are all a little different, they affect us in different ways. Some people suffer high cholesterol or high blood pressure so need to control their intake of saturated fats and salt levels. Truth is; we would probably all benefit from doing that.
It really comes down to knowing why you want (or need) to eat a healthy or special diet - and then working to a set dietary plan. It is also a good idea to seek medical advice prior to starting out on a new diet. A thorough health check will give you a clearer vision of what is required and what problems you need to overcome. It will also make you more aware of the health risks associated with dieting, or with not dieting if you choose to continue your current eating lifestyle.
Eating a special diet doesn't need to be boring or unpleasant, so I'll discuss the various options in future postings.
My blog is to help people with healthy special diets including gluten free eating, a Paleo diet, vegetarian, vegan and other healthy eating options.
