Appetizers are the mini-meals that tease our palette and make our tummies crave even more deliciousness. Unfortunately, some entrees have a bad rap for being detrimental to a healthy meal. Given that they are often prepared in sauces and contain a generous amount of salt and fat, they do bring some unwarranted calories to the tally. However, it would be entirely unfair to strike off a delicious plate or bowl of nutritious goodness just because of a select few ingredients.
At Burger Village, we reinvent conventional recipes with a guilt-free omission of all the nasties, i.e., pesticides, preservatives, antibiotics, peanuts (or other allergens), and especially gluten. All but no compromise on the authentic finger-licking taste of the recipe. Hence, Burger Village is the place to be if you’re someone on the lookout for gluten-free, organic, and vegan meals.
Read on to learn why gluten-free is good for your health!
Gluten is a family of proteins found in certain grains, such as wheat, barley, spelt, and rye. The name “gluten” was derived from the Latin word “glue” for the sticky property of this substance. It is gluten that allows food like bread dough to rise and the chewy texture when consumed. Some people, however, have an innate intolerance to gluten that causes digestive discomfort when eaten. This intolerance is called Celiac disease, an autoimmune condition due to which, instead of getting processed in the small intestine, gluten in reverse damages it. Regardless of a diagnosed intolerance to gluten or due to personal preference, over a quarter of Americans today are opting for a gluten-free diet for their numerous health benefits, including:
Better Digestion
The biggest discomfort endured by gluten-intolerant people is digestive problems. Thus, going gluten-free naturally shows improvement in their digestive system. Interestingly, people without any allergies who’ve cut gluten out of their diet have reported an improved digestive system with reduced bloating, constipation, gas, and even fatigue.
Promotes Weight Loss
We’ve all seen fitness experts and dieticians raving about a gluten-free diet to be a sustainable way to go about your weight loss journey. While the term ‘dieting’ has a negative connotation for many, Burger Village’s gluten-free and organic soups and salads ensure that your diet is healthy but more so scrumptious. Who says nothing good can be made with a “gluten-free” filter on the recipe? Let Burger Village specialties prove it otherwise!
Energy Boost
People intolerant to gluten often also have to endure accompanying health conditions. For example, a mild consumption of foods containing gluten can disrupt the small intestine, which in turn hinders the absorption of vital nutrients like iron. The iron deficiency can soon instigate anemia, leaving the person with chronic fatigue. This devastating snowball effect can be broken with vegetable and GMO-free proteins-rich foods, giving you a massive energy boost and improved nutrient absorption in the body.
Here, at Burger Village, we understand that allergies can be very damaging to your health, but more so of a mood-dampener, especially in social settings. So, we aim to serve healthy, organic, vegan, and the freshest, most delicious meals to our dear patrons so you can have a healthy meal and a wonderful time at any of our locations with your family or friends!
