Is Grain-Free Right for Me?

Paleo Diet? No grain? Gluten free? Low-Carb?

There is a lot of buzz in the world of food and nutrition on the benefits of low carb diets. Books such as the Atkins diet, grain brain and belly wheat made ​​a very interesting conversation about where some of our favorite foods can cause chronic disease.

The New York Times even published an article this week to discuss a study by the National Institute of Health says that decades of war against fat was a mistake from the start.

But if you're like most people, then there is a good chance that you think gluten and any resemblance to this is probably a fad.

*Why not cereal?
According to Dr. David Perlmutter, board certified neurologist and author of the grain of the brain, a diet rich in carbohydrate-rich foods such as grains and dense refined sugar has a negative impact on our brains. Dr. Perlmutter continues to describe how Alzheimer's disease can be classified as a form of type III diabetes and diet rich in grains American standard is a major culprit of increasing dementia. But you can change your diet to improve your brain function and recovery of neurological disorders?

There is much promise in the world of epilepsy using an ultra-low carb diet called the Keto diet. Basically, a person on a ketogenic diet is a diet almost exclusively of fat and protein. The result is that many people with seizure disorders have seen a great improvement in brain function and reduce / eliminate seizures.

*Case studies and self-experimentation?
In my practice, I see many people that come with chronic neurological disorders, especially those with headaches. Headaches are a common secondary condition for moving between complex atlas, which always surprises me when a very patient with headaches do not improve after getting your neck adjusted.

However, once or twice in the last month, I have had patients whose condition headaches stalled for a month after getting your neck adjusted. This went on for over a month in which his neck was getting into position, and did not need adjustment, but the state of headaches will not change. I knew I had to think outside the box. When you focus on one thing in your office, it's easy to be myopic and I think every nail needs his hammer.

Although I am not a nutritionist, I am familiar with many trends and research is going on in the field of health optimization. I asked what patients they eat on a day to day, and I found that they all ate a huge amount of bread, pasta and cereals per day.

I had to give up the bread, cereal, pasta, rice and cereals for 2 weeks, and the magazine on it every day to see how they felt. As with most elimination diets, most people crash on the road at once a powerful substance like sugar / carbohydrates. His energy crashed, his headaches were still there, and he felt weak. I encouraged them to stick with it for a few days.

Low and behold, the second week, all patients were headache free and it is better able than they had in years.

Even this approach has given an opportunity for me. Although I did not feel sick or fat, I had noticed that bread, rice and noodles started being too regular in my own diet. After two weeks of vacation from grain, which had shed eight pounds, began to feel faster on my workouts again. It was great!

*Is it good for me?
Now take this with a grain of salt, since I'm not a nutritionist or health coach. If you have a complex neurological disease process, then go no grain / sugar can be a great natural way to help brain health, and you should talk to your doctor about it.

But what if you're an average Joe just looking to lose weight or feel better?

In my opinion, I think almost everyone can benefit from paying these types of carbohydrates from your diet. There is too much in our daily lives, and we have no idea, because it has become ingrained in our daily lives.

If you're an athlete and you need to fix sources of carbohydrates are whole foods like fruits, sweet potatoes, whole potatoes, and pumpkins that can give you the solution without the quality of dependence bread and pasta .
