A leading gastroenterologist has revealed four powerful food combinations that can unlock greater nutritional benefits—insights that could guide Thai families toward better gut health and immunity. According to Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, featured in a recent article by EatingWell, the old belief that “you are what you eat” takes on new meaning when we consider not just what, but also how and with what, we eat our foods. This news arrives at a time when Thais are increasingly concerned with practical ways to fortify their health through diet, especially given the nation’s rising rates of lifestyle-related diseases and a growing awareness of nutrition’s role in disease prevention.EatingWell article

A renowned gastroenterologist shares four nutrient-packed pairings that could help Thai families improve gut health and overall immunity. The guidance, featured in a recent EatingWell piece, reframes “you are what you eat” by highlighting not just ingredients, but how and with what they are eaten. This comes as Thais seek practical dietary strategies amid rising lifestyle-related health concerns and a growing interest in nutrition’s role in prevention.

Food synergy is a long-standing idea, but new evidence is shedding light on how the right combinations can maximize nutrient absorption. These pairings go beyond flavor, potentially enhancing the health benefits of everyday ingredients found in Thai kitchens—from street-food staples to home-cooked meals.

Gluten-free dining is no longer a niche in the East Bay. What started as a niche for people with celiac disease and wheat sensitivities has become a diverse, vibrant scene. The new dining landscape makes eating out easier for everyone while prioritizing safety and quality.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. For those with celiac disease, even trace amounts can trigger immune reactions that damage the small intestine. As awareness grows, restaurants are adopting dedicated gluten-free kitchens to minimize cross-contamination. A simple “GF” label is not always enough to prevent adverse reactions, so clearer practices matter.
