Eating a gluten-free diet helps people with celiac disease control their signs and symptoms and prevent complications. Gluten is found in almost all processed foods, often masked on labeling by names like shortening, natural flavoring, stabilizer agent and thickener. This makes it very difficult, and if not almost impossible, to avoid entirely as it is even found in chemical medications, some vitamin supplements as a binding agent and also in cosmetic products such as lipsticks, lip balms and chap sticks. Soy sauces and MSG can also contain hidden gluten. By eliminating products from the diet that contain gluten, you may find yourself instead consuming more fresh, whole and organic foods.
Since, the diet helps keep weight down and it is high in fiber which lowers blood sugar levels. Getting enough iron is the biggest concern for vegetarians.

We should care about our environment by ordering smaller amounts of food when in restaurants. Many people in the restaurants order too much food especially in buffets but when they finish their dinner, we can see there are still have some food left on the dishes. I was one of them who always wasted food when I was done with my meal. I didn’t realize that the food I tossed in the trash could impact our environment and lead to pollution concerns. In the book, Bloom said “it’s easier for today’s children to waste food because they are so removed from its origins.” The reason why we waste food easily is we don’t have the chance to plant, water, or nurse the plants by ourselves, so we don’t know how hard it is to plant and grow the food.

Food Irradiation Food Irradiation is capable of improving the safety and quality of many foods. It is the process that emits high-energy rays passing through food products, virtually killing all harmful bacteria and parasites in or on the food. Yet, the food remains raw and undergoes only minor chemical changes. Foods are treated with ionizing radiation to accomplish many different goals, one being the delivery of raw meats and sprouts. There is no guarantee that raw ground beef or sprouts will be free of certain harmful bacteria.
• Raw eggs and raw milk Fresh milk and raw eggs are very useful in GHS production in the body. However, pasteurization and high heat processing destroys the protein content in these foods reducing their effectiveness. For maximum benefits, they should be taken raw. • Organic

Preservation is based predominantly on delaying or preventing the growth of microorganism, and less commonly, with the exception of thermal processing, an outright killing that is more typical of disinfection (Russell et al, 1999). There are several forms of food preservation methods such as smoking, freezing, dehydration, pasteurisation and as referred to in this essay, irradiation. Foods are processed and preserved to provide the consumer with a higher standard of product over a longer period of time, thus ensuring the product is of a quality nutritional standard for the shelf life period, during transportation and storage. The radiation used in food irradiation is called ionising radiation, this is due to the knocking of electrons from
The doctors told him that he will be in the wheel chair for the rest of his life but he was determined to regain his strength and movement. How can one attain this disorder? The specialists struggled to find out the cause of this disorder for decades and there is still no answer. In Ian’s case, this disorder was acquired through the gastric flu because the antibodies to the infection attacked his body.

This all adds up to make it a balanced food approach, which practically banishes carbohydrates almost entirely and a low animal fat approach. It’s an approachable and palatable plan for healthy eating, and subsequently Greece’s life expectancy is one of the highest in the world. The Greek Mediterranean diet contains many major healing and preventing foods that are eaten on a daily basis, e.g. Yoghurt and prunes to help aid digestion, Sardines and mackerel with omega 3 fat acids, tomatoes with lycopen which helps to fight cancer, and Olive oil that lowers cholesterol and prevents cancer, stomach ulcers and gall bladder issues. The Greek diet is a mix of many different factors.
