The GAPS Nutritional protocol is known as the GAPS diet was developed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride The premise of the GAPS diet is that there is a correlation between the state of your intestinal flora and your state of health.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Natasha the digestive system holds the root of our health. People with a GAPS condition stem from an unhealthy gut.<\/p>\n

When the digestive system is unwell, instead of being a source of nourishment, it becomes a major source of toxicity in the body and nothing in the body can function well.<\/p>\n
The list of GAPS conditions is long, and they are divided into two groups:<\/strong><\/p>\n Gut and Psychology Syndrome or GAPS includes learning disabilities and mental disorder, such as autism, ADHD\/ADD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, addictions, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, epilepsy, eating disorders and many other conditions, which affect the function of the brain. Man of these conditions have no established diagnostic labels and present themselves as a mixture of various so called mental symptoms; mood alterations, memory and cognitive problems, behavioral and social problems, panic attacks, anxiety, involuntary movements, various tics and fits, sensory problems etc.<\/p>\n Gut and Physiology Syndrome or GAPS includes various chronic physical conditions, which stem from an unhealthy gut, such as autoimmune conditions (celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes type one, MS, lupus, osteoarthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, autoimmune skin problems etc), atopic conditions (asthma, eczema, various allergies), food allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ME, PMS and other menstrual problems, many endocrine disorders (thyroid, adrenal and other), and all digestive disorders (such as IBS, gastritis and various colitis). Many conditions do not fit into any diagnostic box and can present as a mixture of symptoms; digestive problems, fatigue, muscular weakness, cramps and abnormal muscle tone, pain and ache in joints and muscles, skin problems, hormonal abnormalities.<\/p>\n The GAPS diet has three phases: diet, supplementation & detoxification.<\/p>\n The diet plan is the most important element of the treatment and offers a food list that changes depending on your current program phase. The purpose of the GAPS nutritional component is to heal the gut. There are lots of foods that would have to be eliminated but can easily be replaced with lots of other healthy delicious options. Healthy fats are crucial in the GAPS diet protocol, so are fermented foods, meat broths and other probiotic foods such as yoghurt and kefir.<\/p>\n The supplementation varies a little from person to person, however, probiotics play a vital role. At times no supplements are recommended to start with and only dietary recommendations are made.<\/p>\n Lifestyle changes & detoxification: the removal of other toxins in one's life will be discussed such as cleaning chemicals and toiletries. Juices, enema's, Epsom salt baths, skin brushing will be included in the detoxificiation phase.<\/p>\n While it may seem strange or even unbelievable that neurological disorders like autism can be mitigated or even addressed through dietary changes, families that have been dissatisfied by currently available treatments have flocked to the GAPS diet, and many have experienced improvement.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=\"Sektion\" fullwidth=\"off\" specialty=\"off\" transparent_background=\"off\" background_color=\"#063537\" allow_player_pause=\"off\" inner_shadow=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"off\" padding_mobile=\"off\" make_fullwidth=\"off\" use_custom_width=\"off\" width_unit=\"on\" make_equal=\"off\" use_custom_gutter=\"off\"][et_pb_row admin_label=\"Zeile\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"For further Information\" background_layout=\"dark\" text_orientation=\"center\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" text_font_size=\"16\"]<\/p>\n For further information and testimonials please \u00a0contact 043351200 or info@dubaihtc.com<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=\"Sektion\" fullwidth=\"off\" specialty=\"off\" transparent_background=\"off\" background_color=\"#ffffff\" allow_player_pause=\"off\" inner_shadow=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"off\" padding_mobile=\"off\" make_fullwidth=\"off\" use_custom_width=\"off\" width_unit=\"on\" make_equal=\"off\" use_custom_gutter=\"off\"][et_pb_row admin_label=\"Zeile\" make_fullwidth=\"off\" use_custom_width=\"off\" width_unit=\"on\" use_custom_gutter=\"off\" padding_mobile=\"off\" allow_player_pause=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"off\" make_equal=\"off\" parallax_1=\"off\" parallax_method_1=\"off\" parallax_2=\"off\" parallax_method_2=\"off\" column_padding_mobile=\"on\" parallax_3=\"off\" parallax_method_3=\"off\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"HEALTHY RECIPES\" saved_tabs=\"all\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" text_font_size=\"24\" text_text_color=\"#6fb43f\" text_line_height=\"1.1em\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" module_class=\"pagetitle\" custom_css_main_element=\"margin-bottom: 8px !important;\" custom_padding=\"||15px|\"]<\/p>\n HEALTHY RECIPES<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\"][et_pb_toggle admin_label=\"Cannellini Bean & Roasted Red Pepper Dip\" title=\"Cannellini Bean & Roasted Red Pepper Dip\" open=\"off\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" module_class=\"dhtctoggle\" open_toggle_background_color=\"#e0dad0\" closed_toggle_background_color=\"#c9bfad\" title_line_height=\"1.2em\"]<\/p>\n An amazing snack to take with you to the office so hunger pangs at any time can be dealt with in a healthy and filling manner. \u00a0It can be prepared ahead and will keep fresh in the fridge for a few days.

It is a complete food is rich in calories, vitamins, and minerals. An average-size nut weighing 400 g edible meat and water provide almost all the daily-required essential minerals, vitamins, and energy for a medium-sized person.<\/p>\n \u20ac\u00a2 Although, its meat is disproportionately high in saturated fats on comparison to other common edible nuts, coconut has many bioactive compounds that are essential for better health.<\/p>\n \u20ac\u00a2 The important saturated fatty acid in the coconut is lauric acid (1:12 carbon fatty acid). Lauric acid increases HDL cholesterol levels in the blood. HDL is a high-density lipoprotein, which has beneficial effects on the coronary arteries by preventing vessel blockade (atherosclerosis).<\/p>\n \u20ac\u00a2 Coconut water is a very refreshing drink to beat tropical summer thirst. The juice is packed with simple sugar, electrolytes, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as cytokinin, and enzymes such as acid phosphatase, catalase, dehydrogenase, peroxidase, polymerases, etc. Altogether, these enzymes aid in digestion and metabolism.<\/p>\n \u20ac\u00a2 The kernel is an excellent source of minerals such as copper, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, and zinc.<\/p>\n \u20ac\u00a2 It is also a very good source of B-complex vitamins such as folates, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and pyridoxine. These vitamins are essential in the sense that body requires them from external sources to replenish.<\/p>\n \u20ac\u00a2 Coconut meat and water contain a very good amount of potassium. 100 g of fresh meat contains 356 mg% or 7.5% of daily required levels of potassium.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=\"Dairy & Gluten Free Breakfast Balls \" title=\"Dairy & Gluten Free Breakfast Balls\" open=\"off\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" module_class=\"dhtctoggle\" open_toggle_background_color=\"#e0dad0\" closed_toggle_background_color=\"#c9bfad\" title_line_height=\"1.2em\"]<\/p>\n An easy to make recipe which is good to have as a snack or a quick on the go breakfast.

\nCannellini beans are a wonderful source of dietary fibre. This is very important for maintaining digestive health and ensuring full and rapid removal of waste products, avoiding auto toxicity. Cannellini beans are also a good source of zinc, which can prove to be a vital nutrient in managing acne. Zinc also regulates testosterone production and activity, which can often be out of balance in many cases of acne.<\/p>\n
\nThe rich red colour of red peppers is due to the high concentration of antioxidant flavonoids, which can help protect the skin from free radical damage. There is direct correlation between the intake of foods high in antioxidants over a lifetime, and the overall ageing of the skin.<\/p>\n

Man of these conditions have no established diagnostic labels and present themselves as a mixture of various so called mental symptoms; mood alterations, memory and cognitive problems, behavioral and social problems, panic attacks, anxiety, involuntary movements, various tics and fits, sensory problems etc. \r\n\r\nGut and Physiology Syndrome or GAPS includes various chronic physical conditions, which stem from an unhealthy gut, such as autoimmune conditions (celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes type one, MS, lupus, osteoarthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, autoimmune skin problems etc), atopic conditions (asthma, eczema, various allergies), food allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ME, PMS and other menstrual problems, many endocrine disorders (thyroid, adrenal and other), and all digestive disorders (such as IBS, gastritis and various colitis). Many conditions do not fit into any diagnostic box and can present as a mixture of symptoms; digestive problems, fatigue, muscular weakness, cramps and abnormal muscle tone, pain and ache in joints and muscles, skin problems, hormonal abnormalities. \r\n\r\nThe GAPS diet has three phases: diet, supplementation & detoxification. \r\n\r\n\r\nThe diet plan is the most important element of the treatment and offers a food list that changes depending on your current program phase. The purpose of the GAPS nutritional component is to heal the gut. There are lots of foods that would have to be eliminated but can easily be replaced with lots of other healthy delicious options. Healthy fats are crucial in the GAPS diet protocol, so are fermented foods, meat broths and other probiotic foods such as yoghurt and kefir. \r\n\r\nThe supplementation varies a little from person to person, however, probiotics play a vital role. At times no supplements are recommended to start with and only dietary recommendations are made. \r\n\r\nLifestyle changes & detoxification: the removal of other toxins in one's life will be discussed such as cleaning chemicals and toiletries. Juices, enema's, Epsom salt baths, skin brushing will be included in the detoxificiation phase. \r\n\r\nWhile it may seem strange or even unbelievable that neurological disorders like autism can be mitigated or even addressed through dietary changes, families that have been dissatisfied by currently available treatments have flocked to the GAPS diet, and many have experienced improvement.\r\nBoth our nutrition coaches; Lily Mueller and Victoria Tipper are qualified GAPS practitioners and are trained in the nutritional protocol that applies to both Psychology and Physiology disorders'. \r\n\r\nFor further information and testimonials please visit: www.gaps.me<\/a> or contact Victoria on victoria@dubaihtc.com <\/a>[\/slider]\r\n\r\n \u00a0\r\n

Blend into a thick, smooth dip.\r\n\r\nWhat are the Medicinal Properties of..<\/b>\r\n\r\nCannellini Beans?<\/b>\r\nCannellini beans are a wonderful source of dietary fibre. This is very important for maintaining digestive health and ensuring full and rapid removal of waste products, avoiding auto toxicity. Cannellini beans are also a good source of zinc, which can prove to be a vital nutrient in managing acne. Zinc also regulates testosterone production and activity, which can often be out of balance in many cases of acne.\r\n\r\nRed Peppers?<\/b>\r\nThe rich red colour of red peppers is due to the high concentration of antioxidant flavonoids, which can help protect the skin from free radical damage. There is direct correlation between the intake of foods high in antioxidants over a lifetime, and the overall ageing of the skin.\r\n\r\nBy: Lily Mueller<\/b>\r\n[\/slider]\r\n\r\n[\/wpcol_1half]\r\n\r\n[wpcol_1half id=\"\" class=\"wpcol-liststyle\" style=\"\"]\r\n\r\nQuinoa Herb & Pomegranate Salad<\/strong>\r\nA deliciously healthy and nutritious salad.

It is a complete food is rich in calories, vitamins, and minerals. An average-size nut weighing 400 g edible meat and water provide almost all the daily-required essential minerals, vitamins, and energy for a medium-sized person.\r\n\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Although, its meat is disproportionately high in saturated fats on comparison to other common edible nuts, coconut has many bioactive compounds that are essential for better health.\r\n\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 The important saturated fatty acid in the coconut is lauric acid (1:12 carbon fatty acid). Lauric acid increases HDL cholesterol levels in the blood. HDL is a high-density lipoprotein, which has beneficial effects on the coronary arteries by preventing vessel blockade (atherosclerosis).\r\n \r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Coconut water is a very refreshing drink to beat tropical summer thirst. The juice is packed with simple sugar, electrolytes, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as cytokinin, and enzymes such as acid phosphatase, catalase, dehydrogenase, peroxidase, polymerases, etc. Altogether, these enzymes aid in digestion and metabolism.\r\n\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 The kernel is an excellent source of minerals such as copper, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, and zinc.\r\n\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 It is also a very good source of B-complex vitamins such as folates, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and pyridoxine. These vitamins are essential in the sense that body requires them from external sources to replenish.\r\n\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Coconut meat and water contain a very good amount of potassium. 100 g of fresh meat contains 356 mg% or 7.5% of daily required levels of potassium.\r\nBy: Lily Mueller<\/b>\r\n[\/slider]\r\n\r\n[\/wpcol_1half]\r\n\r\n[wpcol_1half id=\"\" class=\"wpcol-liststyle\" style=\"\"]\r\n\r\nDairy & Gluten Free Breakfast Balls <\/strong>\r\nAn easy to make recipe which is good to have as a snack or a quick on the go breakfast.
