Our household is primarily Gluten and Casein Free, as this is the diet decision that has allowed our son, Alec to overcome many of the behavior, social skills, and language challenges within Autism Spectrum Disorder. He was non-verbal, had severe meltdowns and other intense ticks that were reduced significantly due to this dietary commitment. I am of the belief that everyone can benefit from a gluten and casein free diet. However, one of the reasons I feel this is true is due to the over-processing, contamination (pesticide use/non-organic) as well as genetically modified variations of the foods that contain wheat and cow's milk.
Einkorn flour is a better alternative to consider for those that cannot yet imagine a world without wheat. Einkorn is the oldest variety of wheat, dating back to the beginning of time. It is a hulled wheat that is minimally processed, it is highly nutritious, unhybridized, and low in gluten.
Einkorn offers:
• Higher protein, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamin B6
• Two times more vitamin A
• Four times more beta-carotene and lutein
• Five times more riboflavin
• Easier to digest than modern wheat due to only 14 chromosomes (Modern Wheat has 42.)
Staying true to their sustainable farming practices, Young Living grows Einkorn wheat not only because of the health benefits of this plant, but it is rotated with the lavender farm because this crop will put nutrients back into the soil that the Lavender fields remove. This rotation allows the organic Young Living Farms to be plentiful year after year. Connect with me to learn how you can purchase Einkorn Flour for your household.
