Stay Well Secret: Reconsider Gluten-Free Goods

Fat and sugar are often added when gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, is removed from products like breads, crackers, cereals and pasta. Besides, “gluten’s only a concern for those with sensitivities like Celiac disease,” says Page Love, R.D., founder of Nutrifit Sport Therapy in Atlanta. If you do go gluten-free, try healthier alternatives like legumes, beans, potatoes and brown rice, as well as products made with rice or potato flour, so you don’t miss out on important vitamins like iron, calcium and folate.
