In our youth, many of us never had to diet. Now that our metabolisms have slowed down, we need to take a good hard look around for alternative diets and exercise. There are many of websites touting supplements, drugs, and quick fixes to lose weight, but what about those people who have food and drug allergies, where can they turn?
Enter quinoa. It is a seed that can be used in place of many different items. For those muscle gaining secrets who have celiac disease or gluten allergies, quinoa is an excellent substitute. Studies have shown it to be a “super-food” and high in calcium, zinc, and iron, which can be difficult to find in many foods. A well known weight-coach, Jason Ferruggia, has even made a cookbook that has many recipes for its use.
Studies show that quinoa may lower blood sugars in diabetics and for those with insulin resistance. Studies are being done on the premise that quinoa consumption may be beneficial for those with Autism as well.
