Heart Healthy Diets Introduction
Enjoy a Heart-Healthy Diet along with Weight Loss
Go heart healthy and lose weight with the Paleolithic Diet and Grain Free Recipes. Heart disease is the number one killer in the nation, but by feeding your body properly, you can overcome. You will find abundant food choices, enjoy excellent health benefits, and lost weight. Two cookbooks in one, the first section teaches you how the Paleolithic Diet has been bringing longer, more productive lives to people for millions of years. The second section, Grain Free Recipes, will show you how there are alternatives to gluten-laced breads and pastas. This book was written to present conservative and rational choices to better diets and better health. Called the Paleolithic Diet, or Cave Man Diet, by some, this diet doesn't constrict the amount of calories that your body needs to stay healthy, but merely, goes back to the basics of healthy food.
Sugar, starch, bread and dairy products are considered to be villains in many strict diets, causing you to crave certain unhealthy foods. After awhile, your weakness kicks in and out the window, goes the diet. The Paleolithic Diet offers choices through amazingly simple menus that are delicious and filling. New products have been introduced that mimic flour, sugar and milk, making the switch, almost easy. Not to mislead, there are certain foods that are not recommended, like whole milk, white bread, or cream-filled rolls. These are the types of foods that raised havoc on your body in the first place.
Read how a low-sugar, low-salt, dairy-free and high protein diet can begin to address the problems of strokes, heart disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Processed foods, such as cold cuts, canned vegetables and meats, and imitation flavored items should also be avoided. They are treated with chemicals that were never intended for human consumption. The fact that they have a long shelf life, does not make them nutritional.
Snacks are one of the hardest foodstuffs to give up when starting a diet, but they don't have to be. Smoothies, granola bars and fruit muffins can be satisfying and healthy, too. If you thought that granola bars could only be found at the market, you were wrong. Learn how to make your own treats and create your own variations for different flavors. They will be more flavorful and you'll soon have the whole family hooked on them.
The Entree recipes will make you wonder what the difference is in what you are now eating and what these dishes contain. They are flavorful, delicious and high in vitamins and nutrients. The difference is in the products that are used during preparation. Try Green Chili Turkey Burgers, that use chilies and cilantro for flavoring, or Chicken with Cherries and Kale, that is not only tangy and fragrant, but beautiful, as well. These are just a couple of the examples of how eating healthy can be a treat each day, by using interesting recipes.
Breakfast can be an eye-opening experience with eggs, Canadian bacon and muffins made with raisins, almonds and cinnamon. While you will find no gluten-laced bread with the Paleolithic Diet, there are other ways to achieve breads by using alternative products. This recipe, in particular, uses almond flour and flax meal, in the place of white flour. Other unique recipes for desserts will also surprise you with a great natural taste. Foods will begin to taste richer and fuller when natural ingredients are used, as opposed to processed products.
Several medical experts have claimed that gluten can lead to feeling tired or anxious. Imagine all of the doctor appointments you have made over the years from just these two symptoms. Other, more serious problems can include digestive problems, high blood pressure, poor muscle tissue, high percentage of body fat, depression, and poor circulation in arteries. Any one of these diagnoses can lead to heart failure, and many times, does just that.
Gluten is not just an ingredient that is found in white bread. Wheat, bran, barley, bulgur, orzo, semolina and farina, are all types of grain that can be found in breads or pasta. This means that items such as cake, pie, muffins, pizza, tortillas and bagels can also carry this ingredient. But it doesn't stop there. Canned soup, potato chips, dressing, bouillon cubes, and a host of other items may use gluten to form a nice texture. Every recipe found in this cook book is gluten-free but always check the labels before purchasing goods from the store.
Deciding to try the Paleolithic Diet, along with Grain Free Recipes is not just for losing a few extra pounds or to protect your heart, as you approach middle age. Many people, around the world, have been following this way of life for thousands of years. Getting back to basics is the objective, provided by this book. If you are new to Paleolithic and Gluten-free dieting, you will find a meal planner that offers suggestions in getting started. There is a bit of prep work that will be required, such as checking all labels to see if products are gluten-free, buying fresh fruit and vegetables, as opposed to canned, and making the time to prep and cook. Most Americans have discovered, that quick is not always best. This is your health and future at stake. If you have kids, guide them toward naturals foods as opposed to chips, candy and soft drinks.
Use the information and recipes in this book as a guide for starting a healthier life. You could possibly head off sickness and disease, improve your mental clarity, and feel like enjoying activities. With the right exercise and a sensible diet, you could have many quality years to look forward to. The Paleolithic diet has changed many lives, for the better, by removing additives, preservatives, too much sugar, too much fat, dairy products, and gluten-laced breads, that can damage the intestinal lining, increase blood pressure and much, much more. The facts are clear and this book will make a great reference for future use. Make the time it takes to add years to your life, get started, and never look back.
