Quinoa and Health
The emerging consensus amoung health and nutrition experts favors the inclusion of low glycemic, (gluten free if necessary) whole grains in the diet along with plenty of fruits and vegetables. It almost seems that an organic vegetarian diet has made sense all along while being criticized in the past.
Quinoa fits into a niche of foods called "superfoods" or "supergrains" because it has so much nutrition packed into it's normal serving size compared to many other choices.
For better health ideally we should eat the best possible foods that have the most nutrition for the amount of calories they carry. Research has shown and continues to show that the major health problems related to heart, cancer, and diabetes can either be prevented or improved with a healthier diet.
The release of books such as "In Defense of Food"by MIchael Pollan brings home the importance of re-evaluating our whole approach to food and how it has been the cause of so much confusion and potential/actual health issues in the American diet.
The Quinoa Diet™ is all about including quinoa into many (not necessarily all) of your normal meals, whether salads, stews, soups, or as a breakfast cereal.
Unlike many diets out there that are very detailed and strict with types of foods, etc. , The Quinoa Diet™ approach acknowledges that variety and personal lifestyle are more important than any strict formulas. We support you to create your own diet around quinoa recipes and others that include whole foods.
As always recommended, you should consult with your doctor before starting any major changes in your diet or lifestyle that might affect your health.
