1. Serving Wellness: DR+ MOOD CAFE's Journey from Concept to Reality with Nouf Al Mansour Before we begin with the article, we shall first go over the benefits of including a good organic, gluten-free, and healthy diet. What is a good organic, gluten-free and healthy diet? Let’s over all of the three terms. Organic foods are that which are grown in the complete absence of Genetically Modified Components (GMO) in food such as cornstarch, soybean oil, and canola oil as well as Synthetic Chemicals such as pesticides made by humans and fertilizers. In simpler terms, Organic Food can include the following - Fruits, vegetables, Meat, Dairy and Grains. Even if a meal has a higher percentage of food consisting of organic ingredients, the meal will be certified as “Organic” by the Department of Agriculture. Gluten-free food and diets are that which are devoid or absent of the ingredient and protein called - Gluten. The ingredient and protein - Gluten is predominantly found in food such as - Bread, Wheat, Rye, Beer, and Barley to provide enhancing qualities such as thickening, texture, flavor, and shape. Therefore, a gluten-free meal and diet consists of the absence of the above-mentioned protein ingredient and food. Some examples of gluten-free food are as follows - Potatoes, Milk, Meat, Poultry, eggs, Fish, and Seafood. A healthy diet is a meal that comprises a combination of the following - Fruits, Vegetables, Meat, Beans, Whole Grains, Poultry, Nuts, Eggs, and Fish. A good and proper diet also entails that a meal that is absent or contains very low amounts of added sugars, low cholesterol-containing ingredients, trans-fats, and sodium is called a healthy diet. Healthy consumption of food is directly proportional to a balanced meal that contains the above food ingredients of a good and proper diet in meals or diet plan.
