If you suffer from gluten intolerance, your digestive system suffers and you feel tired. In this article I'm going to share with you an outline of the system I use with clients to help them deal with gluten intolerance and have more energy.
If you suffer from gluten intolerance, your digestive system suffers and you feel tired. You know you have to give up a lot of foods you enjoy. So what can you do? Let me share with you an outline of the system I use with clients to help them deal with gluten intolerance and have more energy.
1. Improve Elimination –
* through your breathing channels because the quality of your breath affects your energy levels and immune system. Practising the neti technique, a very effective yogic technique, is a great way to improve the quality of our breathing
* through your cells. To move toxins out of your cells it's important to dring sufficient water (between 1 to 2 litres daily at least). Are you drinking enough water? Do this quick test for a better idea
2. Eat a variety of foods - even if you have to give up certain foods, make the most of the chance to try new gluten-free options. Take your pick from cereals like rice, millet, corn, quinoa, buckwheat and amaranth. Rice and millet are particularly good because they have a cleansing effect on the body.
3. Enjoy and accept the change - your body is always telling you what it needs to feel goo. You just have to listen to make the whole digestive experience more pleasant. Being at peace with the situation helps.
4. Prepare your own meals as much as possible to be in control of what you're eating. To get you started here's one of my favourite recipes from my book "Plans for Dinner". I've adapted this gluten-free recipe to the season for you. Send me a message to receive it.
I encourage you to follow this system even if you don't suffer gluten intolerance since I'm sure you and your family will see an increase in energy. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
