The Humble Oat: Yes it’s a carb! But there are a few carbs out there that can be beneficial for your whole body...
🍃Oats are one of them! They work their magic with your gut microbial diversity
🍃Naturally they contain very little gluten (and most of it is cross contamination), so use the gluten free ones if you need to, but they are huge in Building a Better Biome...short chain fatty acids to be precise and packed with vitamins and minerals! This delicious bowl was made in the Love Kitchen by Clare Thomas 💜

Tip from our dietitian, Stephanie Rouillard @head.

Tip from our dietitian, Stephanie Rouillard @head.over.health
.
When do I eat plant foods raw and when do I cook them?
.
For the most part, you want a combination of raw and cooked foods in your diet. Here’s why -
🥬
Protective plant compounds, known as carotenoids - found in most red, orange, and greens foods - typically do better with some heat and when eaten with some fat/oil.
🥬
The antioxidant levels of the following foods increase when cooked: carrots, spinach, mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes.
🥬
Generally speaking, most minerals (copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium etc.) are heat-resistant, meaning cooking veggies will not destroy the mineral content.
🥬
Using heat can reduce anti-nutrients in foods like seeds, nuts and legumes.
🥬
Individuals with poor gut health may require more cooked foods in the diet for a short while. Heat helps breakdown some of the cellulose structure in plant foods - making it easier for the gut to digest and absorb them, and allowing the GUT lining to repair itself.
.
On the flip side -
🥬
Water-soluable vitamins (Vitamin C and B vitamins) become degraded when exposed to heat.
🥬
Cooking cruciferous vegetables inactivates health-promoting enzymes.
.
So what should you do?
.
Well, we need to find the optimal balance for YOU (it’s called PERSONALISED nutrition). Firstly, we need to evaluate your gut health. Remember, we need to make sure that you’re digesting, absorbing and assimilating nutrients properly in the first place. Next, we need to determine your unique nutrient needs!

Red Hot Chili Peppers: some spicy, some sweet, some hot and some even sour! All from the Capsicum species 🌶
These are full of powerful carotinoids (B -Carotene, Lutein, Zeaxanthin). They are powerful antioxidants, which are known for their protective effect against degenerative chronic diseases because of their free radical scavenging properties.
The longer you let them ripen, the stronger these helpful properties become 💪 (PMCID: PMC 4988645)

There is nothing wrong with eating the perfect sweet potato chip☝🏼 These veg carbs are low GI! The oils they contain are needed to lower the GI even more, so enjoy this crispy treat as part of your main meal (not on their own) 🥦

Roll the thinly sliced potatoes in a mixture of canola and coconut oil spiced with salt, pepper, garlic + herb spice, cayenne pepper and a little grated Parmesan cheese
Bake for 45 minutes at 180 degrees ⏰
