‘ If you drink too much water you will bloat up and become fat ‘. Is this true? It can be if someone says it and humans start believing it and it becomes a spoken statement in social circles and people start to claim that their weight loss is due to the above.
Is it true? Absolutely not, just as ‘Wheat ‘ has become a ‘ carb’ that must be avoided in order to lose weight and prevent bloating and other weight related issues.
So many people are giving up wheat today. Such an important grain, so nutritious, cultivated for decades, used as a staple food in countries across the world and all of a sudden this humble grain gets a tarnished name for no reason.
Wheat contains gluten, a tough protein that some people’s digestive systems find difficult to break down, so they tend to bloat or get gassy. The immediate reaction is, ‘ wheat’s making me fat ‘ . The truth is wheat has negligible fat and most people confuse bloating for being fat or feeling fat, so blame it on wheat, but what really is the problem is your digestive system. It’s weak and it cannot break down gluten, which it should be able to.
Blaming wheat and switching to other grains to replace it may not be the solution. If your digestive system is weak, find out why and fix it. ‘ Quick fixes ‘ like abandoning this powerful grain is not the solution. Your digestive system will continue to get weaker and create more serious problems for you down the line if you don’t do something to strengthen it.
Yes, there is a population of people and children that cannot have wheat as they are allergic to it and they are called ‘ celiac ‘ .
Having wheat in your diet is super for your health. It’s a great complex clean carb with some protein and a small amount of good essential fat.
One of the reasons women , especially pre-menopausal, suffer from hot flushes and other symptoms that most women dread when they hear or talk about the word ‘ menopause ‘can be attributed to the cut out of wheat. Wheat reduces CRP levels in pre –menopausal women, something that is necessary to control, reduce and even stop hot flushes and pains, and no other grain does this better than wheat.
Wheat is not the issue you put on weight or you cannot lose weight. As discussed above, bloating is a function of poor digestion, incorrect eating habits and eating too fast and mindlessly.
Making small lifestyle changes is the way forward, rather than eliminating key essentials and nutrients from your diet. The goal should be to get stronger so that your body can handle foods that body’s have been able to handle for years.
GMO wheat ( genetically modified) Yes – im against that.That can create problems of it’s own.
Have some wheat today,,,it’s not bad and if you feel uncomfortable, start working on improving your digestion.
