Paleolithic Diet in Medical Nutrition
– incorporating evolutionary biology in nutritional science

Dietary advice to prevent and treat common western diseases should be designed in accordance with human's biological heritage as much as possible. Foods that have been part of the human staple diet for less than 10,000 years should be critically examined before they are recommended as staple food. Even the risks with foods that were available during the Paleolithic era (Old Stone Age, approximately 2.5 million - 10,000 years ago), but which may contain anti-nutritional substances, should be carefully examined, in particular foods that are consumed in large quantities on a daily basis.

ReplyDeleteMeghu, thanks for the response. I find many natural foods to taste wonderful without any additional cooking techniques or spices added. The natural flavors of animal fat or from organic fruits and vegetables are absolutely delicious to me. I rarely follow any recipes, although I am sure they would add flavor and spice to any foods. Usually I will just heat meat or fish up and eat fruits and vegetables raw. I agree with you about a paleolithic diet in conjunction with modern medicine and other technological advances has great potential to increase life expectency and also quality of life.
