As a wellness professional, it is only in the last few years that I even heard about low glycemic eating and living an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. Are you familiar with those terms? This information certainly was not part of the many wellness presentations I have provided to the masses over the years.
However, by chance—or probably by universal intervention—I realized there was more to learn about nutrition and its effect on the body, besides the old "food pyramid" I used to promote with great zeal.
I now know that all food is not the same, and that "low-glycemic" foods are what your body desires. Not the high carb, high sugar, processed, and artificially flavored temptations found in today's food chain. And I also now know that restaurants are often not our friend. Their goal is to get us to love what they serve so much that we will return again and again because the taste was so spectacular.
