Can a Stone Age Diet Make You Healthier?


  • By eating foods that are concordant with your genetic ancestry, you can avoid many of the diseases associated with our modern diet, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Such a diet focuses primarily on a wide variety of raw, whole vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots and meat
  • Overeating and excess weight is a symptom of an improper diet, because when you consume too many sugars and carbs, you set off a cascade of chemical reactions in your body that makes you hungry and craving for sweets
  • A Paleo directed diet can be very effective for reducing blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels—more effective, in fact, than a statin drug. On average, people tend to see a 30 point drop in cholesterol in just two weeks
  • Your body is also genetically “wired” to move like a hunter-gatherer, which includes extensive walking with regular lifting and short bursts of high-intensity activities :)
