While eating gluten-free, do we know what gluten is and what it does, or have you ever questioned this?
Gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats, and gives stickiness and elasticity to the dough. It is a type of protein.
Gluten-free nutrition is recommended for individuals with gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy or celiac disease. Even at this point, it is not considered beneficial and it is suggested that they should follow this nutrition style out of necessity. You will say; 'I ate gluten-free and lost weight.' Wrong. While you were on a gluten-free diet, you stopped eating pastries, rice and pasta, and that's why you lost weight. Our real
key point starts here. There are mistakes that you know are true, and unfortunately, social
media and some commercial research are just gluten-free. In order to increase product sales, it continues to impress with articles such as gluten-free products
, being healthy, helping to lose weight, and being good for cardiovascular disease and intestines. While it seems like it cares about public health, it actually harms your health. The purchase of gluten-free products by healthy individuals without gluten sensitivity has increased by 30% since 2004. Why? Because it makes you lose weight and a healthier
perception has begun to emerge. I often get this question from my clients: 'Does a gluten-free diet
make you lose weight?' Here is the answer;
No, it does not make you lose weight. Except for commercial research; Most of the research explains that it has no effect on weight loss. Just as I mentioned above; You can lose weight by limiting the consumption of gluten-containing pastries, rice, pasta and some ready-made products.
You have already heard from us that it is useful to be careful and know your limits when consuming these products under normal circumstances. According to another study; Even in obese patients with celiac disease, a gluten-free diet did not have any effect on weight loss. It is said to be good for gastrointestinal diseases. At the international congress I just attended, the direct topic was the intestines and stomach. And these creatures, which we call microbiota, which include all the beneficial
microorganisms in our body, were talked about a lot. It looks like it will be talked about a lot in the coming years. Here is l It has been said that gluten-free nutrition, as seen in literature reviews, negatively affects our
microbiota and may cause intestinal disorders.
In other words, the opposite of what is said, gluten-free nutrition negatively affects our gastrointestinal system.
Gluten-free nutrition only; It may be useful for bloating, but it is not a reason to follow a strict diet
.
At the same time, this eating style restricts your fiber intake and sugar and fat are added to increase the taste of ready-made gluten-free products. You take in more fat and sugar
, which can cause B1, B2, B3, folate and iron deficiency.
Does Gluten Cure Diabetes?
This is one question. Because by broadcasting this on TV programs, misdirection is being made. Free products when eating gluten-free; Consumption of foods that increase blood sugar rapidly, such as potatoes, pea flour, corn, rice, etc., is increasing. How can foods that increase blood sugar in diabetic patients attenuate diabetes while gaining double importance? There is no research
to prove this. However, if a new product that is gluten-free and has a low glycemic index, that is, lowers blood sugar more slowly, is introduced to the market and tried, why not look at its effect. However, there is no research supporting this yet.
As a result; Unless you have gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy, gluten-exacerbated psoriasis or celiac disease, a gluten-free diet is useless and research has been inconclusive. While it does not have any effect on weight loss, it negatively affects your beneficial
microorganisms. Therefore, do not disrupt your own microbiota yourself.
My suggestion; When going to Dimyata for rice, do not skip the bulgur at home. Wishing you to be conscious
with healthy information.
