The oat (sometimes known as common oat) is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed. Sometimes oats are ground into fine oat flour. Oatmeal is mainly eaten as porridge and finely milled oats are used in the making of drinkable oats. When it’s cold outside, a bowl of oatmeal makes a warming and satisfying breakfast! Different varities of oats Oat groats: This is the raw form of oat and completely unadulterated. If you prefer the whole grain food then this is what you will love. Only the inedible hull has been removed in oat groats. Steel cut oats: This form of oats is cooked in 10-20 minutes because these have been cut into smaller pieces. It is also known as Irish oats. Oat bran: This is the fiber rich part of the oat that’s been removed. This can be eaten separately as hot cereal or one can sprinkle oat bran on the breakfast bowl in order to boost the nutrient content. Instant oatmeal: As the name suggests this form of oat is cooked almost instantly within 1 minute. Instant oatmeal is rolled thinner and steamed longer. This is the only form of oats that has been processed before packaging. Different salts, color, vitamins, minerals and added sugar have been mixedto bump up the calories. The oat grain is naturally gluten-free. However, as oat plants are usually grown near wheat fields and processed in plants where wheat products are processedit may expose to cross-contamination. This is the only technical reason for which gluten can be found (very scanty though) in some form of oats. Health benefits of oats Cholesterol reduction— Over the past few years rolled oats and oat bran have been proven as the food items that can lower blood cholesterol. Dietary fiber beta-glucan found in oats is actually responsible for the lowering of cholesterol. A daily consumption of around 3gm of soluble oat fiber lowers cholesterol by 8-23%. Oats prevents diabetes— Cereal grains like oats are slowly digested and thereby causing a gradual rise in the blood sugar level. Considerable numbers of medical research have proved that people with oats consumption had 30-60% less risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to people who consumed carb-rich food items. Cardio vascular disease prevention— A reduction in bad cholesterol level consequently lowers the risk of developing heart disease. Oats are given credit for about one third drop in cholesterol levels and it is established that only three servings of wholegrain per day may help to reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 30%. Oats for weight loss— Breaking the fast with a fiber rich and nutritious food like oats helps a person to maintain a healthy weight throughout the life. Oats are adorable for the highest satiety value of all breakfast items that keeps you full for longer. This favorable metabolic alteration reduces long term weight gain. Oats for proper digestion— Fibers are always good for the efficiency of human digestive system. Oats are rich in fiber. Fibers absorb a lot of water and increase the volume of wastes that are about to leave your body. While passing through bowel, fiber speeds up the passage of waste material through the colon. Thus, waste materials get short duration to linger in the bowel. Oats strengthens our immune system— Beta glucans found in oats can boost the effectiveness of our immune system. As an outcome the immune system can better prevent the attacks of bacteria, viruses, fungus and several parasites. Oats for Atherosclerosis prevention— Plaque accumulation in the artery wall is the main reason behind coronary artery disease. The disease is medically termed as Atherosclerosis which means hardening of arteries. Oates contains a very important antioxidant called Avenanthramide that has the potential to prevent accumulation of plaque in the artery walls.

By Shirley A. D’Souza As a former hard core sugar addict who has to work hard to keep my sweet tooth under control, today’s topic is incredibly close to my heart. In fact, one of the biggest reasons people struggle to get and stay in ketosis, lose weight, and achieve whole body health is because of sugar. Chilli's molten cake had my name written on it for years!! lol. You can cut carbs super low, load up on healthy fats, get the right amount of protein, but if you’re still eating sugar, you will always struggle with body fat and lack of energy. Sugar has caused a rise in Metabolic Syndrome (a cluster of conditions — increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels — that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes) in both adults and kids. Sugar is added to just about EVERY processed food item these days, and smart food manufacturers mask the name to make it sound healthier. Sugar is sugar, and no matter how “healthy” the sweetener is, it will always impair your weight loss and potentially kick you out of ketosis. Fresh Fruit Juices: Although fresh fruit juices should be avoided on very low-carb diets, you can still consume certain berries as long as they fit your daily carb limit. Not all berries are the same. While blackberries, raspberries and strawberries have the least amount of net carbs (6-8 g per cup), blueberries contain more than twice the amount of net carbs (stick to ¼ cup or less at a time). Bananas need to be avoided all together – they’ve got like 29 grams of sugar each! The quality of your carbohydrates matter, and so does the quality of your sweetener! Yesterday I explained that sugar is included in the Total Carbohydrates on food labels. Sugar Alcohols will also be listed separately on food labels. There truly aren’t many good sugars, but there are some great sweeteners and some really awful ones. Sugar alcohols (mostly with names ending in

by Tatiana Abouassi Gluten, the name given to a group of proteins found in wheat, rye, and barley, is best known for giving baked goods their doughy and elastic structure. It is also added to many foods for other purposes, including as a thickening agent or flavor enhancer. We’re ready to bet that you know at least three people who have – or claim to have – a sensitivity to gluten or a gluten-related autoimmune condition known as celiac disease. Indeed, over the past decade, as the general population has gained a better understanding of nutrition and one’s own body, there has been a rise in the number of both legitimate and illegitimate diagnoses of both conditions. One of the most regularly cited reasons for this increase has been the change in processing and preparation of wheat-derived products. While new techniques in grain processing have allowed us to create massive amounts of refined wheat at a lower cost, the cereal is no longer soaked, sprouted, and fermented to make bread, for instance. Instead, it is bleached and mixed with quick-rise yeast. As a result, more health-conscious communities have seen a conscious shift away from traditional wheat, rye, and barley products in favor of other gluten-free options. But before you go stocking up on all that your local gluten-free aisle has to offer, it’s worth asking the question: Are you intolerant to gluten? Are you intolerant to gluten? Gluten sensitivities range from the very minor to a serious diagnosis of celiac disease. The most common symptoms associated with gluten sensitivity are: Gastrointestinal problems, such as cramps, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and gas Frequent exhaustion and fatigue Mood swings Nausea Migraines Body aches in the bones, muscles, and connective tissues People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity tend to experience less severe reactions to gluten. What’s more, if they ingest the protein, there is no long-term damage to the intestines or to the nerves as with celiac patients, in which case the immune system triggers an attack on the intestines every time gluten is consumed. As a consequence of that, their body is unable to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, which can lead to malnourishment and other serious chronic conditions including nerve damage. Whatever group you fall in, if you’ve decided to cut gluten out of your life, you’re in luck; gluten-free flours are now more commonly available than ever before, which means you can still have your cake and eat it too. Gluten-Free Baking 101 Using gluten-free flours may appear tricky at first, but these two simple tips will make your life easier. First of all, know your flours, as gluten-free flours vary in flavor and in the texture they result in. Second, don’t forget your “binding” ingredients to prevent baked goods for crumbling or to give them a fluffy texture. These include the following: Flax or chia eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseeds or chia mixed with 3 tbsp water) Baking powder Coconut oil Psyllium husk Xantham gum Tapioca starch Nut butters and tahini The Most Common Gluten-Free Flours There are dozens of options to choose from, each one with its own flavor profile and texture. With practice, you will be able to determine which flour works best for you and even come up with your own flour combinations depending on the flavors and textures you are looking for. Chickpea FlourThis is a high-protein, nourishing option. It is best used to make chickpea pancakes and to “bind” savory patties and fritters (e.g. falafels, vegan burgers, etc.). Chickpea flour isn’t recommended for desserts because of its overpowering taste. Buckwheat FlourBuckwheat is a healthy low-carb option and a good source of fiber. It’s excellent for crêpes, bread, and pizza crusts. It can also be used for muffins and cakes. Oat FlourHigh in protein and healthy fats, oat flour has a very mild flavor, which makes it versatile. It’s great for everything from baking cookies to thickening falafels, soups, and patties. Coconut FlourThis option is Paleo-friendly and high in fiber. It’s best used in cakes considering its strong taste and the moist texture it gives. It can also be used to make soft fluffy flatbread, though it tends to slightly crumble if not combined with another flour to bake bread. Almond FlourAlmond flour is a highly nutritious option considering that it is low in carbs and high in protein and various vitamins. It’s an excellent option for baking cookies. If you’re using it to bake cakes, combine it with another type of flour for a fluffier texture. Rice FlourThis flour is less nutritious than other options. It can be combined with other flours to bake cakes or bread, and can also be used for breading certain foods. Cassava FlourCassava is starchy tuberous root (similar to sweet potatoes). It is higher in both calories and carbohydrates than many of the other options on this list. It can be used in moderation to thicken gravies and soups. Note: Corn flour is another option commonly found in supermarkets. However, while it is a great thickener, its nutritional profile is controversial due to the fact that the majority of options available on the market come from GMO crops. The Less Common Options There are also other, less commonly used flours, which you can incorporate into your diet once you’ve gotten the hang of gluten-free baking. It is not recommended to use them if you are just starting out, as there are fewer online resources and guides dedicated to them. Teff FlourTeff is an ancient grain grown in certain African countries. It is a good source of protein, manganese, iron, and calcium, and works well for crêpes. Quinoa FlourThis flour is high in protein and vitamins, but its taste can be slightly pronounced. Banana FlourThis option is high in potassium and other vitamins. It can be a bit challenging to use in terms of texture if it’s not combined with other flours. Tigernut FlourTigernut is a Paleo-friendly option that is also a good source of protein. Its slightly sweet and nutty flavor makes it ideal for baking cookies.

By Tatiana Abouassi You may have heard the term “plant milk” and wondered what it means. In simple terms, plant milk is a non-dairy beverage made from a plant extract — like nuts and grains — and consumed as an alternative to dairy milk. Also known as “mylk”, it has been gaining significant popularity over the past few years in light of recent trends. A rise in lactose intolerance among both adults and children has been one of the main drivers of this. Additionally, vegan and plant-forward diets are gradually becoming more mainstream, whether for ethical reasons or health reasons. As a result, supermarket shelves and coffee-shop chains have become flooded with a wide variety of plant milks, including fortified, flavored, sweetened, and unsweetened versions. With so many options out there, you may be wondering, “Which plant milk is the most beneficial for my health, as well as my favorite recipes?” Below, we’ve detailed some information about each one to help guide you to the milk alternative that suits your needs and interests the best. Tips & Tricks for Buying Plant Milk Before you head over to the grocery store, it’s important to be aware of the phrases and terms that are going to lead you to the optimal plant-milk brand and type. Here is a simple checklist to help guide you in the right direction: Avoid synthetic food additives, and always try to buy plant milk that’s organic. As you browse, check for the “no added sugars” label to ensure you avoid excess sugar consumption. Be on the lookout for hidden sugars and unnecessary ingredients such as vegetable oils, emulsifiers, and thickeners (such as guar gum and corn dextrin). Carrageenan is an ingredient often found in nut milks. An additive derived from seaweed, it’s been described as inflammatory and harmful, and there is now a movement to have it banned in certain countries. Different Plant Milks Almond Milk Almond milk is one of the most popular dairy-free options as it is incredibly versatile. In terms of nutrition, almond milk serves as a beneficial source of calcium and vitamin E. It is also a lighter option than other nut milks. Its light texture, crisp flavor, and nutty overtones go nicely with fruity and chocolatey smoothies, cereals, and even coffee. Cashew Milk Cashew milk contains protein, as well as other nutrients like vitamin K (especially if it is homemade). However, since it has a slightly pronounced taste, it’s not as versatile as almond milk. That being said, its creamy texture makes it an ideal choice for recipes such as soup, vegan Béchamel, vegan cheese sauce, ice cream, and vegan cheesecake. Hazelnut and Walnut Milk Both hazelnut and walnut milk are good sources of vitamins and nutrients, like vitamin E and omega 3. Because they have a pretty strong flavor, they’re best used in desserts and chocolate-flavored smoothies. Macadamia Milk Macadamia nuts have gotten a bad rap in the past for their high-fat content. However, the majority of that is monounsaturated fat (or the good kind that helps lower your cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease). Macadamia nuts also boast some of the highest levels of flavanoids (an antioxidant) found in tree nuts. They’re low in carbs and are unlikely to spike your blood-sugar levels. When used with coffee, this milk adds a delicious, nutty flavor and smooth texture to a latte. Soy Milk The OG milk alternative, soy milk offers seven grams of protein per cup. However, it’s important to note that soy is a common allergen, and that the majority of what’s available on the market is a highly genetically modified version of it. If you manage to get your hands on a good brand of soy milk, you’ll find that it’s highly versatile and great to add in coffee and different kinds of smoothies. You can also use it to make soup, creamy dressings, and vegan mayonnaise. Rice Milk Rice milk is the lowest source of vitamins and minerals when compared to other plant milks. However, if you’re trying to avoid soy and nuts, it’s a good alternative. Because of its very light texture, it’s not the best option if you’re looking for creaminess. Instead, consume it with cereal, oatmeal, or simply by the glass. Oat Milk Oat milk is gaining popularity, especially as a coffee creamer alternative. High in fiber and iron, it has a neutral flavor and smooth consistency that pairs well with hot beverages. Its light sweetness works well in cakes and cookies. However, if you suffer from a gluten intolerance or celiac disease, most oat milks are a no-go for you unless they are treated in a gluten-free facility and say so clearly on the carton. Coconut Milk A beneficial source of healthy fats, coconut milk is heavier when compared to other plant milk options. Thinned coconut milk is rich, sweet, and creamy, making it a perfect addition to all types of desserts (raw and baked) — as well as curries. You can also use it to make whipped cream and vegan yogurt. Because carton coconut milk is lighter in taste and texture, it goes well with smoothies and hot beverages. Quinoa Milk High in fiber and protein, quinoa milk has a low glycemic index, which means it causes a slower rise in your blood-sugar levels. Because it has a pronounced taste that can be overpowering, it is best used with cereals, quinoa porridge, or quinoa risotto. How to Make Your Own Mylks Homemade plant milk is more cost-effective and nutritious than ready-made packaged options as many plant milks are diluted with water and mixed with additives, which strips away their nutrients. Making your own at home also enables you to adjust the creaminess and flavor to your liking. One batch can last up to four days in the refrigerator, as long as it’s stored properly in a sealed glass container (remember to shake well before serving). Nut Milks Begin by soaking one cup of nuts of your choice in two cups of mineral water for eight to ten hours. Alternatively, you can also soak them in boiled water for one hour. After rinsing and draining the nuts, blend them with three cups of water. At this stage, you can add dates for sweetness, in addition to flavors such as vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, etc. After blending, strain the milk using a nut milk bag. You can then recycle the pulp in different recipes, like cookies, cakes, smoothies, and vegan cheese, to avoid wasting it. Oat Milk Soak one cup of oats in two cups of water for 15 minutes. Rinse and discard the liquid. Blend the oats with four cups of water and other optional ingredients of your choice, such as dates and vanilla. Use a nut milk bag to strain it or serve it as is. If you wish to use it as a coffee creamer, add less water to the mixture. Quinoa Milk Blend one cup of cooked quinoa with three cups of water until it’s almost smooth. Strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or strainer. Blend the quinoa milk in a blender with dates, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, or any other ingredient of your choice.

Plant milk is a non-dairy beverage made from a plant extract — like nuts and grains — and consumed as an alternative to dairy milk.

By Farah Hillou Medicinal mushrooms, including Reishi, Chaga, Maitake, Shiitake, Lion’s mane and Turkey Tail, have long been used in Chinese, Egyptian and Greek medicine for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-supporting, anti-microbial and anti-tumor effects. Research has shown that they provide a rich source of nutrients including fiber, selenium, B vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin E, in addition to bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. Moreover, they contain polysaccharides, most notably beta-glucan which is believed to be the primary active compound responsible for the health benefits of medicinal mushrooms. Below is a summary of some of the commonly used medicinal mushrooms: Reishi: often referred to as the “king of mushrooms”, has been used in Chinese medicine for increasing vitality, lowering blood sugar, improving heart health, and protecting against liver damage. Beta-glucans found in Reishi act as prebiotics and have beneficial effects on gut microbiota. They may also have anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. Chaga mushrooms are rich in a variety of nutrients including zinc, copper, selenium, potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins. They are rich in key antioxidants, which may help slow the aging process, and prevent cellular damage caused by everyday toxins. Although still being researched, Chaga mushrooms show promise in helping to slow growth of cancerous cells. Moreover, chaga mushrooms may help control blood pressure, reduce blood sugar levels, and lower cholesterol levels. Lion’s mane: as the name indicates, this mushroom has a white, fur like appearance that resembles the mane of a lion. It is known for its brain-boosting and protective effects. It has been shown to stimulate the growth of nerve growth factors in cells of the nervous system, which tend to decline with age. Lion’s mane mushroom may also help boost beneficial bacteria in the gut, reduce inflammation, and enhance the immune system. Turkey tail: this type of mushroom obtains its name from its close resemblance to the tail feathers of a turkey. Traditionally used against fungal and bacterial infections, it can also improve stamina and support gut health. Turkey tail contains natural polysaccharides, including polysaccharide K (PSK), which can support the immune system and help reduce cellular inflammation. In certain countries like China and Japan, Turkey tail may be taken alongside chemotherapy (best to check with your physician). There are many ways that medicinal mushrooms can be incorporated into the diet. The powder versions can be blended with a smoothie, added to oatmeal and puddings, or mixed into tea/coffee.

By Farah Hillou The “Got Milk?” campaign, initially launched in the U.S. and then gaining momentum worldwide strongly emphasized the importance of having milk every day. However, more and more people nowadays are resorting to alternatives due to health reasons, environmental causes, or personal preferences. A growing number of children and adults report experiencing a range of symptoms after consuming anything dairy-related.Three reasons why some individuals may not do physically well with dairy are: Cow’s Milk Allergy: This involves an inability to break down the proteins in milk. It is often experienced by infants, though some can outgrow the allergy later in life. The immune system (an IgE response) is triggered, leading to symptoms that develop almost immediately and may range from mild such as vomiting, itching, and wheezing, to severe such as anaphylaxis. Individual’s allergic to cow’s milk protein are also very likely to react to goat and sheep milk. Avoidance of all dairy foods is necessary when an allergy is present. Milk/Dairy Sensitivity: This also involves triggering the immune system however, symptoms may develop hours or a few days later. One of the proteins in cow’s milk, A1 beta-casein, releases an inflammatory compound called “casomorphin” upon digestion. This may trigger symptoms including fatigue, headaches, sinus congestion, low mood, skin issues, digestive problems, allergy-like symptoms and more. Most of the cow’s milk we drink contain A1 casein, whereas sheep, goat and camel milk contain A2 which does not appear to have the same effect as A1 casein. The most ideal way to determine whether someone has a sensitivity to dairy is to eliminate all foods from this group for at least 2 months. Milk/Dairy Intolerance: Unlike an allergy or a sensitivity, a milk intolerance does not trigger the immune system but instead involves an inability to break down lactose, the sugar in milk, due to lack of the enzyme lactase. Symptoms are centered in the digestive system, for instance gas, bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Some individuals may be able to handle small amounts of dairy while others cannot. Moreover, the lactose content of dairy foods differs. High lactose sources include milk, ice-cream and soft cheese, while hard cheeses like cheddar, Swiss and parmesan, as well as butter are low in lactose. With respect to yogurt, the bacteria present can help break down the lactose which is why some people feel fine when having yogurt but not milk. Consuming digestive enzymes with meals can help break down the lactose and provide relief for some people. A lactose intolerance can easily be diagnosed through a breath test conducted by a gastroenterologist. Worried about not getting enough calcium if avoiding dairy? Some great dietary sources include salmon, sardines, kale, broccoli, bok choy, soy beans/tofu, white beans, almonds, and sesame seeds. As for dairy substitutes, there are plenty of delicious alternatives to chose from. From nut-based milks like almond and cashew, to coconut cooking cream, to vegan cheese and dairy-free ice-cream’s, going dairy-free has never been easier!
