Anti-Inflammatory
To be anti-inflammatory is to COMBAT lingering (chronic) inflammation which causes the body to be in a constant alert state, leading to negative impact on cells, finally resulting in auto-immune illnesses and cancers. It is proven that chronic inflammation feeds cancers and illnesses and it is also known that certain foods possess more anti inflammation properties than others. It is our mission to incorporate as much of the foods offering the most inflammatory-fighting benefits as possible to positively impact the health of all. We aim to be diligent in our efforts and to remain current, accurate and an evidence based food and nutrition source for you.
Always Gluten-Free
Wheat is in the top eight, known food allergens. Wheat contains a protein called gluten, as do barley and rye. Gluten allergies, sensitivities, and Celiac disease, an auto-immune disorder, triggered by gluten intake, result from wheat, barley and rye intake. Celiac is an immune reaction that creates inflammation that damages the small intestinal lining, leading to medical complications and malabsorption of nutrients, typically causing unintentional weight loss. Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist is allergic to wheat and barley, as are her children, one also having celiac disease. To be gluten-free is very important to the Str’eat Cred crew and we are always a gluten-free kitchen.
Allergy Friendly
Food allergies are considered an abnormal immune response to food. Reasons remain unclear, but the body attacks a protein in food. When you eat that offensive protein again, the body uses the IgE antibodies it had developed the first time, therefore causing an allergic reaction. Eight foods have been determined as the most prevalent allergies including: egg, fish, milk, peanut, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, wheat. We aim to avoid as many of these as we can, to make Str’eat Cred meals allergy-friendly. Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist has managed multiple food allergies and looks forward to being a resource for those of you who are seeking guidance in living with food allergies.
