Scientists Look at Ancient Civilization For Disease Prevention

                    

Mainstream media sees the benefits of a Paleo diet - and it only makes sense. After years of reading research and books upon books, I've come to the healthy conclusion that sometimes less is more. In other words, the less destroyed processed a food is, the better it is for your body.

Studies and research conclude that man was healthiest and most robust when he ate simple foods such as wild meat, seafood, nuts and seeds, fruits, and vegetables. These are the foods that are closest to nature; those foods our bodies were designed to digest into needed fuel.

Here is great news from The Philadelphia Inquirer backing up our Paleo style of eating:

Health care as we know it didn't exist 3,000 years ago. But along the Georgia coast, the Pacific Northwest, and coastal Brazil, people grew tall and strong and lived relatively free of disease. They ate game, fish, shellfish, and wild plants.

But as corn farming spread through various regions of the Americas, people got shorter. Many became prone to anemia and began dying of tuberculosis and other infectious diseases...

The global project followed a similar one that compared different populations living in the Americas over the last 3,000 years.

That project showed that the rise of farming often came along with a fall in health...

...And when farming of grains brought about greater quantities of food, he said, what people ate lacked certain nutrients - iron and Vitamin B-12, for example, whose effects show up in the bones and teeth.
