Have you heard of the Paleo Diet? It comes in different iterations, depending on who you talk to, but the basic gist of it is that our bodies have not evolved to digest and assimilate modern foods. Modern, as in not Paleolithic. Sounds a bit crazy to try and eat like a caveman, right?
But then when you think a little bit further, and think about what modern food actually does look like (packaged, made out of mainly high-gluten wheat, GMO soy and GMO corn) and what the current state of health is in this country (1 out of every 3 adults obese, children developing Type 2 diabetes at rates never seen before), then it starts sounding a lot more like plain common sense to eat whole, unprocessed, real foods that our bodies know how to digest.
Here are the basic tenets of the Paleo Diet, in a neat little infographic. Take a look, get familiar with some of the ideas, and try a few new great ingredients, or remove a few not-so-great ones. Your body will thank you!
