Gluten!

I know it looks good – but DON’T do it friends. Here’s a great and not overly complicated explanation of why by Dr. Mark Hyman:

“Patients are always asking me if they should avoid gluten, even if they aren’t experiencing symptoms.

And I have to say, the research points to yes. Gluten has been found to negatively impact the lining of the gut, creating “leaky gut” or intestinal permeability, even in those who do not have celiac disease.

The lining of the gut is supposed to be strong and tight, keeping food, waste, and microbes inside the digestive tract. Gluten can cause the release of an inflammatory protein called zonulin, which opens up the junctions in the lining of the gut and causes gaps, allowing particles to leak into the bloodstream (where they don’t belong) and creating an immune response. This sets the stage for systemic inflammation.”
