My son Johnny has been diagnosed with severe spectrum egg and dairy allergies, in addition to his serious eczema. We have developed a gut health-focused diet in order to complement strategies we have learned through years of doctors’ visits. Thanks to this major lifestyle overhaul, along with a few environmental changes (e.g. eliminating chemicals used in the house), my son is finally both happy and healthy! This delicious dish is full of wholesome ingredients as well as anti-inflammatory turmeric.
Take a look at my diet guide for managing my son’s allergies and eczema through food.
Further Food Commentary:
Compared to raw broccoli, when broccoli's steamed, it provides special cholesterol lowering benefits and has a strong impact on body's detoxification system and heart health. While it's a member of the cruciferous vegetable family,along with brussel sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage, a cup of broccoli contains as much vitamin C as an orange and is a source of fiber, zinc, potassium, iron, magnesium, beta carotene, vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 and K. Looking for a new way to use broccoli in your meals? Try roasting it with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top! While ginger is reknowned for its use of 'stomach problems' (e.g. motion sickness, morning sickness, colic, upset stomach, gas, nausea and/or diarrhea), in the Asian culinary world, fresh, dried or ground ginger are widely used. For every 100 g of ginger, it contains 80 calories, no cholesterol and contains some essential vitamins and minerals, such as potassium, manganese, copper, magnesium, pyridoxine and pantothenic acid.
