PALEO DIET: THREE BIG REASONS WHY GOING NATIVE MAKES SENSE

BY PETE A TURNER

There is a lot of buzz lately about the Paleo Diet and for good reason, it just makes sense! Eating like

our cavemen ancestors did maybe the next big break though in maximizing our health and disease

prevention. Here are three big reasons why going "native" is the right thing to do.

First a quick definition: The Paleo Diet eliminates sugar, wheat, dairy, progressed foods and focuses

on the foods that were available to early man. Foods such as eggs, meat, fish, fruits, nuts and veggies

made up the bulk of this lifestyle. Here are three points to consider.

It's only been a few thousand years since humans have cultivated wheat and raised cows for milk and

cheese.

It has only been a hundred years since we in the Western World have had processed food.

Only since World War Two that the bulk of our diet is heavily processed foods with artificial color,

taste, preservatives and ingredients that we cannot pronounce or even know what they are. Worst

more and more foods are being genetically altered.

A few thousand years and or a couple of decades are not enough time for our bodies to adjust to

these changes in man's diet. This diet of caveman or Paleo diet has fed humans for eons and our

bodies are basically the same as it was ten thousand years ago.

Many of the diseases we have today: high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, obesity are a

direct result of our heavily laden diet of sugar, Trans fat and chemicals. Those of us that adhere to a

Paleo Lifestyle believe that eliminating these "foods" from our diet will heal our bodies and now

science is beginning to agree.

Here are three big reasons why going native makes sense.

The normal western diet is laden with preservatives and additives. We ingest these toxins a daily

basis causing inflammation within the body resulting in a breakdown of our immune system.

Eating a low carb, lean protein natural diet can reverse many diseases that in the past were

considered incurable.

It has been proven that a low carb, lean protein diets rich in vegetables and fruits causes sustained

weight lost.

There are many more reasons but let's look in depth at these three. I don't think anyone can disagree

that the average person consumes huge amounts of artificial ingredients. Things like red dye #2, 3

and so on; sugars, diet sodas, preservatives and flavor enhancers are mainly created in the lab and

not on the farm. What is this consumption of all these chemicals really doing to our bodies?

The people who live long and vigorous lives from Sardinia to Okinawa, the so-called blue zone people

eat local foods from yogurt to fish, fruits and vegetables. They don't have words in their language for

cancer or heart disease. Recently a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

reported that native people who have reverted back to a traditional diet report significant weight lost

and reduced cholesterol and low blood pressure. Even more amazing researchers have found that

switching to such a diet can actually reverse type 2 diabetes, a disease that once was believed

incurable.

One of the common denominator in most of the weight lost diet plans from Jenny Craig to the South

Beach Diet is low carb, lean protein and lots of veggies. These diets work because they eliminated the

carbs like potatoes, soda, sugar, white flour and other foods that cause a spike in your insulin and

cause weight gain. The Paleo diet consists of these healthy weight reduction foods.

So what does that mean to you and me? Well for me it is obvious; a diet similar to a diet consumed by

our early ancestors is the right way to go. There is a lot of hype about the Paleo Diet but really it is

very simple eating meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies that are ideally grown and organic

is a healthy and disease preventive diet that anyone can follow. True you have to give up some foods,

but a lot less than say a vegan and certainly less than a raw food diet. I know for me it has made a

great difference in my health. Hopefully these three big reasons will convince you to "go native" and

try the Paleo Diet
