There once was a time when diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, schizophrenia, and cancer were very rare. This was the time when the primary source of food was hunting and gathering. It has now been proven that the diet of the “caveman” can greatly improve ones health as well as help one become slim and fit.
This Stone Age Diet, also known as the Paleolithic Diet, may take a little getting used to at first but what diet doesn’t? The concept of the diet is fairly simple and should be easy to follow. It is said that this is the only diet that is coded for our genes, this being because it is what we ate for thousands of years before the introduction of agriculture 10,000 years ago. It is said that it could take several thousand more years before we adapt to the diet that agriculture brought and we may never adapt.
According to S. Boyd Eaton, M.D., one of the foremost authorities on Paleolithic (prehistoric) diets, modern diets are out of sync with our genetic requirements. He makes the point that the less you eat like your ancestors, the more susceptible you’ll be to coronary heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and many other “diseases of civilization.”
