EFFECTS OF EATING WHEAT TO YOUR HEALTH New studies show that even whole wheat may contribute to serious health problems. Here are 6 ways wheat can destroy your health. 1. Wheat is Loaded With Gluten Gluten is the main protein found in wheat and a few other grains like rye, spelt and barley. Its name is derived from its glue-like (glu-ten) properties. This protein gives dough its elastic properties and makes it pliable. If you’ve ever handled wet dough in your life, then you will know what I’m talking about. The problem with modern wheat is that many people are unable to properly digest the gluten in it. The immune system “sees” the gluten proteins in the digestive tract, thinks they’re foreign invaders and mounts an attack… not just against the gluten, but also the digestive wall itself. This is the hallmark of celiac disease , a serious disease which may affect up to 1% of the population ( 1 , 2 ). However, there is evidence that a much larger percent...

Steven Naismith Steven Naismith struck a brilliant hat trick as stuttering Premier League champions Chelsea crashed to a 3-1 defeat at Everton. Naismith, a ninth-minute replacement for the injured Muhamed Besic, scored twice within moments of coming on as Everton turned up the heat on Jose Mourinho's out-of-form side. Nemanja Matic pulled one back with a fine strike before half-time at Goodison Park but Naismith rewarded the hard-working Toffees by completing his treble after 82 minutes. It was the first time a Mourinho Chelsea side had conceded a hat trick and the result left them with just four points from five games. Further frustration for Mourinho was that John Stones, the England centre-half he tried so hard to buy over the summer, was outstanding in Everton's back four. The hosts' afternoon actually began badly as Besic, making his first Premier League appearance of the season, was hurt in an early challenge by Kurt Zouma. His misfortune ...

  Health Benefits of Eating Snails   By  Adam Sinicki  | Nutrition | Rating: The French have always been a little more adventurous than the rest of Europe when it comes to their diets and there's no better example of this than 'escargot'. Escargot are 'snails' in French and are eaten out of the shells with tiny forks after being covered in garlic butter. I can vouch for them being really rather delicious, but are they good for you? Spoiler: the short answer is yes… Health Benefits of Snails Like many other creepy-crawlies, snails are actually very high in protein while being low in carbohydrates. A 100-gram serving of snails will give you an impressive 16.5 grams of protein (around 9 less compared with chicken) and only 90 calories (less than half the amount of chicken). Better yet, snails contain only two grams of carbohydrates – even when you take the butter into account seeing as it doesn't add any! Snails don'...
