Health Benefits Of The Paleo Diet

The concept of the Paleo Diet is based on various anthropological studies regarding the diet of early humans. Apparently, our bodies are better suited to the ancient diet of the Paleolithic era which happened between 2.5 million years and 10,000 years ago. Then came the Neolithic era which ushered in agriculture, which drastically changed our ancestors’ hunting-gatherer lifestyle and eating habits. Many of the diseases that plague our modern world—hypertension, diabetes, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases—can in fact be attributed to modern agriculture-based diets. There’s too much white processed starch, too much sodium, too much refined sugar and processed oil, and not enough protein. We need to place emphasis on foods that our Paleo ancestors chowed on and avoid those foods that didn’t exist before agriculture was invented.

Consuming organic proteins, such as fresh salmon pictured above is an example of foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. Vital nutrients in Fresh salmon contain Vitamins A, B and D as well as the minerals calcium, iron, phosphorus and selenium. Cooking a paleo diet with salmon can help you live longer and be healthier.
