Gluten-free recipes, marathon training tips and the latest medical news about gene therapy may at first glance seem to be part of an adult's version of "one of these things is not like the other." These subjects however, easily fit into the category of healthy living.
Author Tara Parker-Pope writes a daily health blog, Well for the New York Times on all subjects health and wellness which I follow regularly.
As a food lover and avid runner, I appreciate the tidbits Parker-Pope offers on her blog. Not all of her posts are relevant to me: I don't have children and am not interested in dieting stories, but I love discovering healthy recipes. I also, in my fitness-geek way, really enjoy her stories on nutrition, exercise, and all things running (of course).
Today, Parker-Pope posted a number of gluten-free recipes for Thanksgiving. Seemingly, a hot topic these days, allergies, sensitivity or intolerance to gluten also known as celiac disease seems to be popping up everywhere resulting in more recipes and cookbooks. The post also suggests that many people may use gluten-free food as a way to lose weight--not eating wheat is a health benefit? I'll be investigating that one.
Reading news online, I tend to only spend time on what interests me but Parker-Pope's blog featuring a variety of stories takes me outside of my usual perusing. Her shared science and medical news requires me to pay a little more attention to a subject I otherwise would overlook. I may not be preparing her gluten-free Thanksgiving anytime soon, but I look forward to hearing more (and sharing) about all things living well.
