Is it better to avoid flour?

Most nutritionists warn against overdoing one’s flour consumption. This is especially true for refined flour as it is harmful to our gut and health in the long run.

However, we must eat whole grain wheat flour not only wheat, but also different grains such as: rye, spelled, buckwheat, etc.

Each rule has its exception. In this case, people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance cannot eat certain flour forms because their bodies reject them. As a result, they have to turn to other alternatives.

Whether we have or do not have a particular disorder, everyone should follow a complete and balanced diet. We should strive to balance the right amounts of protein, fat, fiber and carbohydrates.

Is it better to avoid dairy products?

In the case of dairy products, most people are not aware that in childhood they lose an enzyme known as lactase, which is responsible for the digestion of lactose.

As time goes on, we realize that milk is not always ingested so easily, it gives us acid or makes us bloated. Moreover, it is even more complicated, because these days it is difficult to find natural high quality milk.

We recommend that you choose other healthier dairy products such as natural yogurt, kefir or ghee (clarified butter). You should also substitute milk for alternative milk for both drinking and cooking.

By doing so, you prevent getting worn out and avoiding stomach problems.

Bananas

The banana is a very special fruit. It has a wonderful, sweet taste and very nourishing properties. In addition, it is very easy to eat at any time of the day.
