We still need volunteers to take over the Gluten Intolerance
Group of Southwest Washington for 2014.
It is so important to make sure that this group continues to help so
many people that have been and will someday be diagnosed. Please
remember how helpful this group was to you when you needed it!
Think about the importance and impact of paying it forward...

Got The Munchies? This Might Be Why
Your fish-oil supplements may be making you extra hungry.
Researchers in Denmark found that folks who took fish-based
omega-3 capsules had a 20 percent increase in appetite. So should
you quit popping them? No, advises Heather R. Mangieri, RD,
a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics:
"Even if you're watching your weight, don't stop taking fish-oil
supplements or eating fish- it's so beneficial for the heart." Instead,
try adding more fiber-rich foods to your meal to help you counteract
the effect.

Common Kitchen Spice Alert
You've
probably heard that the common kitchen spice cinnamon can have a
positive
impact on your insulin sensitivity, allowing your body to better process the carbohydrates
you eat. This is great news as increased insulin sensitivity means lower blood sugar
levels, a flatter belly, and greater health for you.
But here's something you may not know... that cinnamon that you have in your kitchen
cupboard? It very likely isn't cinnamon at all if you bought it at the grocery store.
Believe it or not, out of 12 ground cinnamon specimens examined by the New York Board
of Health, only three contained any cinnamon whatsoever and even those were largely
mixed with sawdust. The others were almost entirely composed of sawdust, starch, and
cinnamon flavored oil.
Beyond that, most cinnamon that you find at the grocery store has been heavily irradiated
to extend its shelf life. This irradiation process destroys many of the active nutrients found
in cinnamon, thus inactivating its ability to produce any health-promoting benefits.
If you want to know how to ensure the cinnamon you are using is REAL cinnamon (and
not fake cinnamon made of sawdust), my good friends Joel Marion and Brett Hall R.D.
tell you exactly how to do that, along with 3 other powerful insulin-sensitivity and blood
sugar lowering tips, in their brand new report 4 Tricks to NEVER Store Carbs As Fat.
