Can gluten free lower cholesterol and blood pressure?

QUESTION
Am not a coeliac am on a diet to lose weight have high cholesterol and blood pressure can eating some of the gluten free foods help.

OUR REPLY
A gluten free diet can help many health issues. However many prepacked gluten free goods are no healthier than regular foods, in many cases they are even more fatty. You may be better to check out the Paleo diet instead of just gluten free, but make sure you have the go ahead from your GP before you embark on any new eating plan when you have specific health issues. It's awesome for overall health, gluten and dairy free so naturally lowering saturated fats and loads of fruit and veg. Hope that helps Pauline and let us know how you get on. Happy New Year. Heidi
