Tips for a gluten-free diet

Most people can eat gluten without experiencing any side effects. However, people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease cannot tolerate it. Along with, people with other disorders like wheat allergy and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

A gluten-free diet can offer many health benefits because cutting back on gluten encourages you to eat more fruit and vegetables, leading to a healthier lifestyle.

However, we understand that just because you are gluten intolerant or want to lead a healthier lifestyle doesn’t mean that you do not still wish to have a treat now and again. There are plenty of gluten-free natural food snacks such as vegetables, fruits and nuts and by using these ingredients and some easy recipes you can make some great at home snacks. Normally snacks bought from shops tend to involve a lot of gluten but here at Snack Packs, we have some easy on the go snacking solutions that will satisfy your cravings.

snack packs helping parents with healthy snacks

Below are just a few helpful tips that can help you to follow a gluten-free diet successfully:

  • Try and plan: Whether you are travelling aboard, or going to an event, try and research as much as possible ahead of time.
  • Invest in some cookbooks: Buying a few gluten-free cook books might inspire you to be more creative with your cooking which in turn will make meals more enjoyable.
  • Reading labels on food: You must get in the habit of reading food/packaging labels in order to identify any foods that may contain gluten.
  • Going to restaurants: When people go out for a meal it can be tricky to stay on your diet. The key to eating out at a restaurant is to plan ahead. Once you know which restaurant you will be going to, then either call the restaurant or check their online menu to see if they offer gluten-free options. Also always enquire about cross contamination policies. However, even if a restaurant doesn’t have a dedicated gluten-free menu then don’t worry certain options are likely to be available to you. You can always opt for soups or stews that are not prepared with flour as a thickening agent. Select stir-fried, steamed, roasted vegetables, grilled or smoked meats and seafood made with gluten-free sauces or a salad without croutons.
  • Inform your friends of changes in your diet: If your friends are aware that you are on a particular diet, they are then more likely to choose restaurants with gluten-free menus when you eat out.
  • Use separate utensils. If you share a kitchen with friends or family members, you don’t want to accidentally contaminate your foods with gluten from other people’s food, make sure you use separate cooking and cleaning equipment.
  • Take your own food: When visiting a family event or get together, sometime it is advisable to take gluten free bread, snacks or pasta, this way if you cannot find food at the event that is suitable for your diet you will still have something to eat and you will also not feel left out.

Our gluten-free Snack Packs are ideal for such occasions, our snacks are great for a night in or even better for on the go. We source the highest quality products that are delicious too and only once we are completely happy with the snacks, then we add them to our selection and send them to our loyal customers. This saves you not only time but you also get to try a selection of snacks that you may not have tried before.

The benefits of Snack Packs for Parents

The benefits of Snack Packs for Parents

Parents can find it really hard sometimes to implement a healthy snacking habit for themselves and their children and what works for toddlers might not work for pre-teens or teenagers.

Healthy snacks are an essential part of a growing child’s diet and helping children understand and providing them with a healthy relationship with food overall can contribute to your child’s emotional and physical well-being, which in turn lowers their anxiety levels, boosts their mood and lowers their emotional distress.

When the selection is left up to children, they often choose sweets and less healthy snack options. During the week children should have a midmorning and a mid-afternoon snack at school. Fruit, nuts, dried fruit and muesli bars are some great options but sometimes children, especially older age groups, like teenagers wish to have crisps, chocolates, popcorn, sweets and in the past this was a tricky balance to strike but with Snack Packs our snacks are a healthier treat option in comparison to the traditional high calorie snacks that most of our children’s and adults are accustomed to. You do not have to follow a vegan or gluten free diet in order to enjoy our snacks.

Even by making these small changes in your snacking habits you can start noticing a difference in your child’s behaviour. Who doesn’t like to have the occasional treat knowing that it is not bad for you or your family.

A healthier diet is known to increase a child’s focus in classrooms, which helps them remember vital information as well as retaining what they have learnt therefore helping in achieving better test results.

Health Benefits of Gluten Free

snackpacksstg

As well as offering vegan snack boxes, we also provide gluten free snacks at Snacks Packs. One of our main goals is to deliver high quality, cost effective, delicious snacks every month. Gluten free snack are healthier than the traditional unhealthier snacks and that’s why you do not need to be gluten intolerant to purchase our gluten free snack boxes, these snack options are suitable for anyone who is wanting to reduce or omit gluten from their diet.

A gluten free diet has become more popular and a trend over the recent years, with many restaurants, cafes and food companies including more gluten free options now. Besides this, many well-known celebrities have promoted the idea of gluten free.

Gluten free diet can offer many health benefits especially for those with celiac disease because anyone suffering from celiac disease knows that consuming gluten can affect their immune system and damages the lining of their small intestine. Also, cutting back on gluten encourages you to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, leading to a healthier lifestyle. Whether you have celiac disease, have gluten sensitivity or just want to kick start a healthier habit, below are just a few of the benefits of reducing or cutting out gluten from your daily diet.

Improves energy levels

People who have gluten sensitivity often suffer from fatigue. This is because consuming gluten products damages their intestines which in turn impairs the absorption of several nutrients. Switching to a gluten-free diet will give your intestines a chance to heal and this will restore nutrient absorption and improve your energy levels.

Healthy Weight Gain

The symptoms of celiac disease and gluten intolerance can result in nutritional deficiencies and in many cases, severe and uncontrolled weight loss. A gluten-free diet will help you regain the lost weight as well as eliminate these nutritional deficiencies.

Eliminates Bloating

Several people experience bloating after eating foods that contain gluten. When you switch to a gluten-free diet, you will notice an immediate difference as your digestive distress will disappear and your stomach will be visibly flatter after your meal.

Reduces joint pain

If you experience joint pain, especially in common areas like the knees, wrists and back, due to an increase of inflammation, a gluten-free diet will help to prevent this type of joint pain but take steps to ensure that you do not ingest even a small amount of gluten as it can result in a recurrence.

Reduces the frequency of headaches

It has been discovered that the brain and gut are closely connected, if you suffer from headaches or migraines, switching to a gluten free diet can be useful for reducing the number of headaches.

Reduces depression

Following a gluten free diet has a favourable effect on depression symptoms and can help to improve a patient’s quality of life.

At Snack Packs we appreciate that there are a lot of factors to consider always before making a life style change. However, you can still benefit from our selection of healthy snacks instead of the traditional snacks that are full of harmful ingredients.

Whether you use our snack boxes as a transition or you establish that you wish to enjoy a healthier range of treats in your lives, either way, Snack Packs monthly subscription box is the right choice for you and for your family.

Make Snack Packs your first yet very delicious step to a healthier future.

Furthermore, we are proud of the positive feedback from our regular and new customers, who found that these healthier snacks taste just as good if not better than the traditional snacks.
