the health benefits of a paleo diet

Are you ready to go back to basics and eat the same way as our paleolithic ancestors? People’s dietary practices today have evolved so far from what our ancient ancestors had. The paleo diet encourages consumption of foods like pasture-raised meats and eggs, vegetables and fruits, raw nuts and seeds, and healthy fats like avocado and coconut oil.

Paleo advocates suggest ditching processed and crap foods, and focusing instead on foodstuff that will not potentially harm our health. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables make up the majority of the paleo diet, helping people steer clear of certain degenerative diseases and neurological disorders. The latest issue of the Healthy Options Lifestyle News Digest lays down the tenets of the Paleo Diet and lists the steps to ease into the Paleo Lifestyle.

An integral part of the Paleo Diet is protein, which is crucial for the development of strong muscles and healthy bones. Protein also significantly supports the body’s immune system. Flip the pages of the news digest to find the article “More Protein, Less Weight,” which explains how protein can be the simplest and most delicious way to lose weight.

For discerning people adhering to a plant-based diet, the question that may come to mind is whether there is a host of post-harvest chemicals and colorants applied on fresh produce. Get the lowdown on commonly used chemicals and how they are used post harvest by reading the article “What is Sprayed on Produce After Harvest?”
