recipes grain-free dairy-free lentils diabetes heart health
I've been noticing lately that this particular recipe has come up - I'm planning to make it this weekend!!
Lentil Bread - for those of us who maybe don't do well with simple  carbs, or have a grain, sugar, milk,  potato or egg  intolerance - this is a simple alternative that is easy to make.... I'll make an update later as to how I thought it tasted! 

I have found a couple of you tube recipes
Lentil Flat bread  (I think you can make these in a well cured cast iron pans or stainless steel with a little oil)  

Lentils - why are they worth eating? 
From Harvard School of Public Health... but also .... what we've known from so many years of eating these: 
Lentils are low in sodium and saturated fat, and high in potassium, fiber, folate, and plant chemicals called polyphenols that have antioxidant activity. [1] These nutritional properties have led researchers to study their effects on chronic diseases. Lentils also contain slow-digesting resistant starch that delays the absorption of carbohydrates with blood sugar-lowering effects, as well as being a source of prebiotics that feeds gut flora to help prevent digestive diseases. [1] Animal studies have shown that lentils can lower blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood glucose. [1,2] Human studies have found that lentils may improve cholesterol levels in people with diabetes and may protect against breast cancer in women. [3,4]

Meet Zia Robles Hernandez

 
I've read and heard that the way we do one thing, we do everything . 
I've been a curious human being since I can remember.  I've always wanted to know why things happen, why we do things in the way we do, and  always trying to find a better answer to my evolving questions.  
I didn't know that this curiosity would take me to practicing as a naturopathic doctor - but with a few loops and twists, turns along the way - I've now been in practice for over 10 years in this wonderful state. 
I can say with a degree of certainty, that the way I approach my life, is how I approach any being I interact with  - with curiosity, an open mind and an eagerness to learn.   
I have been blessed with a wonderful family - the one I was born into, and the ones I've chosen - and I truly enjoy making memories and having adventures with family and friends!
