A change in your heart health
Getting enough whole grains on a gluten-free diet can be difficult. It doesn’t have to be since there really are so many wonderful gluten-free grains available. Unfortunately, though, many Americans are most familiar with the gluten kinds and struggle to replace them quick enough when quitting the proteins. As a result, one’s heart health can be at risk, since eating whole grains plays a large role in cardiovascular health. In fact, research has found that those on a gluten-free diet can be at a heightened risk of heart disease for that very reason. None of this is meant to deter someone from quitting gluten, but it’s important to be wary of what nutrients you’re losing, so you can replace them.
