Let’s face it, once you reach your 40’s, your metabolism will dwindle and will not be as active as when you were younger. You will realize that eating the same amount of food will earn you additional weight when the same amount were tolerable during your younger years. Given this scenario, minding what you eat will help you achieve a healthier weight as well as a healthier lifestyle.
Although not harmful to the body, going gluten-free can be beneficial to your health in the long run. For about a year now, I have decided to go gluten-free and sugar-free. The latter being obvious, but allow me to expound on gluten-free.
Below are some of the benefits of gluten-free diet:
1. It improves digestive health
2. Lowers Cholesterol-level
3. Reduces the risk of heart-disease
4. Promotes healthy weight-loss
5. Increases energy levels
6. Reduces the risk of acquiring lifestyle conditions such as diabetes and cancer
7. Improves condition for Auto-Immune Disease
8. Arthritis Control
Gluten in general is found in most bread, cereal, pasta and grains. You may think that eliminating these will leave you with nothing substantial to eat. Not really, as I might introduce you to a solution.

I have recently came across a brand which promotes affordable gluten-free, sugar-free bread. I say affordable mainly because, since the time I went gluten-free, I either bake my own gluten-free bread or I have to buy form available sellers at a very high price.
You have to understand that buying and using gluten-free flour such as the most viable one – almond flour is on the expensive side. A kilo of this type of flour is pegged at 800php. A recipe of bread loaf calls for 3 cups of flour and the most you can get in a kilo is 2- ½ loaf recipe. This will give you an idea why gluten-free bread cost a lot, not to mention sugar substitute is also pricey which adds up to the already high cost.
But there are certain ways of overriding this situation – mass production, and this is what Hearty Bread did. From the social media explanation of the brand, I learned that having a patient in the family prompted them to develop this brand with optimum goal of giving an affordable solution to the already costly medicine/maintenance drugs.
The brand invested on research and development for about a year, same amount of trial and error to achieve the current status of bread that are comparable with the regular type of bread. The result of which is being able to offer these gluten-free, sugar-free bread at half the price of the current market price.

To date, I have already tried most of the bread variant they are offering. My favorites include:
Pumpkin Carrot Loaf (280php/loaf)
Great alternative for those who love Carrot cakes minus the sugar. Very tasty and not to mention healthy. I consume this whenever I crave for desserts or to neutralize salty dishes.
Bannoffee Loaf (280php/loaf)
I was delighted to learn that, they use SABA variety instead of the usual lakatan. Saba variety is considered healthier and lesser in natural sugar.
Malunggay Sourdough Pandesal (40php/6 pieces)
We Filipinos love this pastry in the morning with just about anything. Now you can indulge in healthy pandesal with the benefits of probiotics too!
Low Carb variants that will definitely be a life-saver for thoise who are into Ketogenic Diet!
For those who aside from gluten-free, sugar-free prefers low carbohydrate alternative, I would recommend the following Almond flour variants:
