Hemp Flour Benefits
Did you know hemp flour has many health benefits? Besides hemp being used to make a variety of commercial and industrial products, it is also used for food. Hemp seeds are ground to make flour. They come from the cannabis sativa plant but contain low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) the psychoactive compound responsible for mind altering properties. How do you use it❓ I mix hemp powder into my powder mix that I use for breakfast. It fights inflammation, aids in digestion and is a great source of protein, fiber, omega 3 and 6, and micronutrients. It can also be used in green smoothies,as it is almost green in color and has a distinct earthy, grassy flavor.

But it does take: *consistency *determination *effort *self discipline Many people think “work” when they hear those words and so they don’t try and then wonder why they never reach their dreams.

How lactose Intolerance could be genetic
Did you know that the MCM6 gene is involved in lactose intolerance? As Babies, our levels of lactose are high. But after the nursing stage, they begin to decline. By the time we are adults, we contain much less of the lactase enzyme to break down the lactose. As a result, most adults cannot fully digest lactose. This is called lactase non-persistance. (LNP) There are some individuals, however that can continue to digest lactose. They are known as having lactase persistence. (LP) The ability to digest lactose is independently caused by a region called MCM6 which controls and enhances the expression of the lactase gene. The DNA Health test tests for Lactose Intolerance. Important to note that a genetic test does not tell you have lactose intolerance, it tells you if you have a risk factor or a predisposition. You would still need to go according to symptoms and a hydrogen breath test. Contact me if you are interested in getting your genetic testing. I am an accredited Genetic practitioner.
