Something You're Eating Is Making You Unhealthier Without You Knowing It !


If you are eating burger, pizza or drinking soda, you know that its not doing any good to your health. But an ideal 3 meals per day, including upma or paratha for breakfast, BROWN BREAD sandwich for lunch and roti-sabji for dinner sounds healthy. Isnt it?
Well, cereals including wheat, barley, rye and oats contain a protein called gluten. Wheat and all-purpose flour, the staples of the Indian diet, used in preparing roti, paratha, pizza, pasta, bread, wraps, rolls, and most processed food, encompass gluten as the hidden ingredient.

You may be at risk even if you are asymptomatic for celiac disease.

I want to reveal the truth about gluten and explain its impending dangers. Also help you determine whether or not gluten is a problem for you by following a simple system.
Gluten affects many women, but remains unnoticed due to a lack of information. Every woman has a different degree of gluten sensitivity. For some of us, consuming roti, chapati, pizza, pasta, or whole wheat bread, may just result in mild bloating or constipation, but for few others, it may lead to serious complications, including hormonal imbalance, joint and muscle aches, extreme fatigue, depression and anxiety, and high risk of pregnancy-related complications among many others.
But it doesnt indicate all women with these symptoms suffer from gluten intolerance.

UNDERSTANDING GLUTEN

Gluten is a protein that is relatively difficult for the body to break down. It is present in wheat and wheat products. It is also present as binder, starch and filler in most processed food. After consumption, it gets adsorbed to the villi in the intestine and reduces the intestines activity to absorb nutrients. Hence, starting off a cascade of autoimmune reactions leading to increase in your sugar levels, thyroid disorders, and infertility.

Gluten is difficult for the body to breakdown, and doesn't get digested completely. When partially digested gluten molecules enter our bloodstream, they can trigger immune reactions causing vague symptoms such as brain fog, inflammation, fatigue, muscle and joint aches. Some people have obvious gut symptoms such as bloating and gas, that are definite signs of gluten intolerance.

SOURCES OF GLUTEN IN FOOD INCLUDE:

  • All foods with wheat, barley, oats, rye (in almost all packaged food items, read the labels).
  • All white bread, wheat bread, whole wheat bread, whole grain bread (biscuits, crackers, and bagels included).
  • All baked goods with processed flours (cupcakes, donuts, brownies, cookies, cakes, pies, etc.).
  • Pasta, pretzels, pizza, tortillas, pancakes and breakfast cereals.

Is Gluten taking more than giving? SIDE EFFECTS OF GLUTEN:

  • Estrogen Dominance.We women are more prone to have gluten intolerance than men. Gluten intake causes intestinal inflammation resulting in increased cortisol production. This leads to an insufficient estrogen production and its after effects.
  • Weight Gain.Abnormal hormonal productivity leads to stubborn weight gain.
  • Premature Menopause and Infertility.Gluten reduces the bodys capability to produce sex hormones. This causes hormonal imbalance worsening the pre and perimenopausal symptoms. Malnutrition due to malabsorption of nutrients from the intestine, explains the shortened lifespan of fertility in untreated women. One of the various studies on gluten intolerance showed that women who remained gluten-free (those who avoided gluten containing food) for 10 years had a longer period of fertility than their untreated counterparts.
  • Joint and MuscleAches.The Centre for Drugs Control (CDC) stated that osteoporosis is a complication of untreated gluten intolerance due to reduced absorption of calcium and magnesium. It causes sensitive teeth as well. Restoration of normal absorption occurs within a few months, but it may take up to 2 years in older adults.
  • Skinproblem Gluten.Gluten Gluten triggers inflammatory reactions under the top layer of the skin resulting in rash, burning, itching, redness and painful blisters.
    Are mouth ulcers and cavities your usual concern? Then you may benefit from gluten-free diet.

Bulging Eyes - 10 Things That May Cause It

Image
There is a marked difference between having big eyes and eyes that bulge abnormally. This abnormality should not be confused with having large eyes. Bulging eyes can be defined as eyes where the white of the eyes is visible above the cornea (circular black portion of the eye). Medically, this is referred to as Proptosis or Exophthalmos. Eyes protrude from the eye sockets if there is a swelling of muscles, fat or tissue behind the eyes. This is dangerous because it exposes the cornea and makes it difficult for the eyes to stay moist and lubricated. In extreme cases, it can also put the optic nerve under pressure and lead to potential vision loss. This is especially serious if noticed only in one eye. An overactive thyroid gland is one of the most common triggers for bulging eyes. Another common cause for bulging eyes is Graves disease. Graves disease is an autoimmune condition that makes the thyroid gland release cells and antibodies that fuse the eye muscles. This can directly
