Missoula Doctor of Chiropractic Says: The Secret to Weight Loss and Eradication of Disease is A Paleolithic Diet
Wherever we look these days, there is a magic bullet diet or weight loss program for sale. They typically promise weight loss without hard work, sacrifice or discipline.The average scheme is low calorie, low carb, low fat etcFor every book available in stores or DVD for sale on television,there is somebody getting rich behind it. Why? Because these programs over promise, under deliver and absolutely set the user up to fail.They might deliver results initially, but the person almost always returns to a “normal” level of living (or what they deem as normal). They regain the weight and usually more. There would be no repeat business if these restrictive diets delivered the outstanding results they promised.The fundamental reason these restrictive diets fail is that they encourage an eating style that goes against our ancestral and genetic needs. The Paleo Diet is the only diet program outlined that shows every man, woman and child how to live a life free of lifestyle related sickness and disease based upon the habits of our predecessors.
The Paleolithic Diet is well researched and supported by DNA evidence that is 40,000 years old. In those 40,000 years our genetic makeup has changed ~.02%. We are virtually the same today as our predecessors 40,000 years ago and our nutritional needs are identical. Our lifestyle habits have unfortunately changed dramatically. Paleolithic societies were hunter-gatherer societies and were not farming communities. These populations consumed small amounts of many different types of food. They ate what was available to them given their geographic location and time of year. There was not a Wendy’s or Costco around every corner. As mankind grew more civilized and populations multiplied, farming became more prevalent. The result was a marked decline in physical activity and an overwhelming increase in the health problems of our planet.
Paleolithic societies lived much differently than modern man? How you ask? They had absoluetly zero dairy, grain, cereal, soy, salt, refined sugar, or starchy foods like potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes available to them. The typical Paleolithic Diet consisted of wild and lean animal proteins, preservative free fruits, vegetables and only spring water to drink. The benefits of this lifestyle included no incidence of hypertension, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, dental carries, or obesity. Paleolithic citizens were fit, lean and healthy. They looked like modern day elite athletes because optimal health was a natural product of how they lived based upon what was available to them.
Farming and urbanization took us away from a protein, fruits and vegetables society and into a grain and dairy eating society. The evidence shows a rapid decline in the health of mankind as grain and dairy began to dominate our diets. Archaeological discovery concludes that whenever and wherever humans farmed in place of hunting and gathering, health problems appeared. Farmers quickly grew shorter than their ancestors. Their bones and teeth show a high incidence of osteoporosis, rickets, bone mineral disorders, scurvy, rickets, vitamin A and Zinc deficiencies along with iron deficiency anemia.
In this day and age we have a pandemic of health problems referred to as “Syndrome X” and they include hypertension, high cholesterol, type II diabetes, and dyslipidemia (low HDL, elevated triglycerides, and small-dense LDL cholesterol. Diseases such as gout can be grouped in with these diseases as well.
The solution to our worlds’ problems rests in our genetics. We absolutely must return to living as our ancestors did.The way we were designed. Take notice and realize now that the convenience of our modern society has set us up to fail in our quest for lasting health. Our condition will continue to decline. Research all the benefits of a Paleolithic diet and start applying them in your life immediately. Learn from those who came before you and start eating in the manner you were designed. Remember success leaves clues. There is no need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to nutrition. Gather knowledge,find direction, and have the pride to eliminate these health problems from our genes once again.
