Isnt it incredible that around just 12000 years back from today, there was no diabetes, no obesity, no heart problems, no kidney or liver problems! This was the Paleolithic period; the age when humans were cave dwellers. We get to see such cavemen only in cartoons or movies today. But these were the beings that were stronger, fitter and healthier than what we are. If we have advanced so much in all arenas in comparison to them, why is this one an exception? This is definitely some food for thought. The answer is DIET!!! As truly said, Old is Gold. In this case, it surely is. Having got fame as the Paleo Diet, we are here talking about the diet of our ancestors, the cavemen, right from the Paleolithic age. As study has shown it is a very nutritious and healthy diet that our ancestral cavemen used to consume. Study shows that this diet has total potential to give us a healthy and long lifestyle even today. Why not incorporate it in our daily lives then? We can give it a sure try to fight health ailments that we face in this digital age. If you think carefully about the Paleo diet, you might understand where it stands different. Firstly, that was an age where farming was originated only towards the end. Thus, most of the period was spent by eating what was available naturally. So the cavemen lived on nuts, berries, fruits and hunted meat and fish. Farming, which came up towards the end of this age changed a lot in the diet of humans (which is why we are facing an unhealthy scenario today). So, giving it a second thought, the cavemen were free from dairy products, processed food, unhealthy oils, excessive carbohydrates and fats. Their diet also included everything that was available naturally at any point of time and thus was seasonal. Such a healthy and appropriate diet is rarely followed by us today. And thus, the difference! Since this has been realized, we can start following our ancestors and plan our daily diet. We can follow the Paleo diet. The Paleo diet is now scientifically proven to help weight loss and to act as a barrier against most health problems. Though it keeps carbohydrate intake low, it encourages consumption of fruits and vegetables, which help keep our energies up. Thus following this diet has confirmed positive consequences for our daily, healthy living and hence must be adapted to immediately in our every day life and diet.
