A Simple, Scientific, Faith- Based Guide By Luke & Trisha Gilkerson
I wasn't sure about this when I first signed up, I'm going to be honest. Giving up wheat... Really? But with all of this Gluten Free, I've been hearing, reading and partaking in for the past couple of years, I thought why not? Now is the chance to read a great faith based book that gets deep into the history of wheat. Plus goes over the change in wheat over the centuries and the examples of how not eating it can help you.
It was just what I needed to really grasp if wheat could really change a persons health.
So let's get started...
I have been following Luke and Trisha on their blog Intoxicated on life for some time. So I knew that I loved and trusted what they had to say. In fact, they had me by page 3 when they said " And above all, we want to honor God with what we do, including what we put into our bodies."
Learning about the differences in ancient wheat and the wheat we are served up today was really enlightening. I had never really thought about how much our grains our stripped of everything natural, to be put on the shelves at the grocery store. I mean I read ingredients, I try to buy natural whole grain organic bread, but does that mean it's really good for us. hmm.
Did you know that "The New England Journal of Medicine reported there are 55 diseases that could potentially be caused by eating gluten, one of the proteins found in wheat." Other effects from wheat are Digestive problems, Migraines, Infertility, Miscarriages, Mood Disorders, Childhood Disorders, Joint Pain, and many more. They go over all of these in the book.
If that is not enough reason to try going wheat free, than I don't know what is. However, if you are looking for more details for instance what Gluten actually is, and what it is doing to your body. It's all in the book.
"Does God Have A Diet Plan" was another one of my favorite chapters. It hit on the Kosher Diet, a Mediterranean kosher diet, and clean, vs. unclean. Lot's of beliefs and reasoning of the " ideal diet" given by the Maker Himself.
What a wonderful read. Honestly, I could go on and on, aside from the above there is a FAQ chapter for your questions, a transition chapter, and they end it perfectly with a " No Wheat? What in the world do I eat?!" chapter.
I have heard amazing results from some of my friends, and although we are at the beginning of our journey, I am looking forward to seeing how it effects our family in a positive way.
I suggest you get your copy today.
