As more research into the benefits of a gluten free diet have been discovered there has been a surge in the popularity of this particular diet. This has increased the demand for free from food items, such as free from cakes, gluten free cakes and gluten free muffins. Even special occasions can still be marked in the same way as gluten free birthday cakes are now widely available. With the widespread availability of these free from foods it is now easier than ever to make the switch to a gluten free diet- here are the top five reasons for choosing to go gluten-free:

1. A gluten-free diet can help you to lose more weight than a traditional diet. People who exclude foods that contain gluten have reported that they had more success when they have tried to lose weight, compared to when they eat a low-fat diet containing gluten.

2. Studies have shown that eating a gluten free diet can help to alleviate the symptoms associated with a wide range of allergies.

3. A diet free from gluten helps to keep your digestion much more regular. If you have even a slight digestive problem you can benefit from following this type of diet. This is because cutting gluten from your diet can prevent you suffering from a multitude of painful and inconvenient digestive symptoms.

4. When you consume gluten your energy levels will rise, but will then fall again just a short while after. Going gluten free can help to keep your blood sugar and energy levels stable, allowing you to focus and concentrate better, experience improved memory and even sleep better.

5. People who have made the decision to ditch the gluten rarely go back to their former diet because it makes such a difference to their overall sense of wellbeing. This is because a gluten free diet usually contains more fresh and healthy foods, and less processed, refined foods.
