3 Tips For Fixing Your ‘Sugar Belly’ – Roanoke Rapids Daily Herald

How to lose weight safely Comments Off on 3 Tips For Fixing Your ‘Sugar Belly’ – Roanoke Rapids Daily Herald

It seems the golden grain has lost much of its luster, thanks to the gluten-free movement (now a $16-billion-dollar-a-year industry) and a broad-brush bashing that has painted it as the latest food demon.

Wheat has been found guilty without a fair trial, says Dr. John Douillard, a former NBA nutrition expert and author of Eat Wheat: A Scientific and Clinically-Proven Approach to Safely Bringing Wheat and Dairy Back into Your Diet (www.LifeSpa.com).

The grains you choose are critical to keeping your blood sugar stable, your weight down and your heart healthy.

Theres plenty of evidence that wheat isnt the monster that best-selling books like Grain Brain and Wheat Belly make it out to be, Douillard says.

Whole wheat extends life, reduces the risk of dementia by 54 percent, and in study after study prevents the onset of Type 2 diabetes, he says. The science shows health risks only with refined and processed wheats.

Other culprits include artificial sweeteners and a culture that encourages constant snacking, Douillard says, which can lead to what he calls sugar belly.

In general, processed foods are quicker to be broken down into sugar, or glucose, which enters the bloodstream faster than whole foods, he says. Excess sugar in the blood will trigger the release of excess insulin, which converts and stores the sugar in the form of unwanted fat and damaging cholesterol particles.

Its leading to the worlds next great epidemic, Douillard says, a combination of diabetes and obesity he calls diabesity.

A balanced and rebooted digestive system should be able to easily process foods like wheat and dairy, Douillard says. Here are his tips for troubleshooting your sugar belly:

Douillard isnt downplaying the devastation of celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. But, he says, the push for gluten-free products and diets has gotten out of hand.

Yes, some people feel bad when they eat wheat, Douillard says. But in most cases, its because of a breakdown of the digestive system as a result of a diet of processed foods and pesticides. Taking foods out of the diet wont fix that, it just kicks the real problem down the road, leaving folks at risk for more serious health concerns.

Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP, author of Eat Wheat: A Scientific and Clinically-Proven Approach to Safely Bringing Wheat and Dairy Back into Your Diet (www.LifeSpa.com), is a globally recognized leader in the fields of natural heath, Ayurveda and sports medicine, and is author of six previous health books. He is the creator of LifeSpa.com, the leading Ayurveda health and wellness resource on the internet. Douillard also is the former Director of Player Development and nutrition counselor for the New Jersey Nets NBA team. He has been a repeat guest on the Dr. Oz show, and has been featured in Womans World magazine, Huffington Post, Yoga Journal and dozens of other national publications.
