Let Us Have a Paleo Nutrition

So, let us have a Paleo diet! What are we taking home for dinner tonight. It is fish, vegetables, and for desert we are to take fruits. We are interested in having Paleo nutrition. Therefore, all the food that is processed is out of the question. Do you want to join in? In this article I want to take you through the basics of having a paleo nutrition and how you should go about it.

First, what you should know is that we are emulating our fore fathers who were very healthy for the foods they partook. Some would argue that they did more work and that is why they were healthy. Well, it is a valid point, but you forget of all the exercises that you do, or should do. You run every day or at least walk. You go to the gym and have a work out. All this exercises that you do emulate a person who has been in a garden, digging with a hoe. At the end of the day, if you jogging for some time, and a person goes to the garden to dig, both of you shall remain fit.

It is, therefore justified to say that the diet should go together with exercise just like the Paleolithic man did. So, going back to our nutrition, we need to learn of the necessary foods that we shall take. We shall have foods such as meat, fish, vegetables, vegetable oils, eggs, and natural occurring foods.

I am sure your mouth is salivating by now because we mentioned meat. Some wonder why meat is considered  as part of the diet. To answer, meat is not only nutritious, but it is sweet. However, we are considering a particular type of meat. The meat has to come up from a particular animal. The animal is in essence one that is raised by grazing. We are interested in naturally bred animals and no other animal qualifies.

The nutrition is strict to what is natural. Do not go having processed foods. The processed foods include, crisps, burgers, and many others. I hope I have not touched you here. If I have, then you just need to style up and follow the crowd. We are going Paleo today and we are to enjoy healthy lives. Try it out and you shall see for yourself.

History of Paleo Nutrition, Health and Fitness

When advocating for something, it is important to have your facts right. I am advocating for Paleo nutrition, health, and fitness. I want to convince someone, anyone and if possible everyone to go with my stand. I heard of Paleo Nutrition the first time from a friend and that is when I decided to research on it.

It was a good idea and seemed interesting; worth trying. However, I do not like half-baked cakes, I like knowing all the details of anything before I find myself in a fix. I found out that Paleo is something that did not start in the 21^st century but started around the 1970 i.e. 20^th century.

Considering how good Paleo nutrition is, I think it was unfair to have taken so long to reach my ears. Anyway, the person who more or less advocated for it and promoted it initially was Walter L. Voegtlin. He did so during the mid of 1970’s and he said what the nutrition involved. It involved a lot on diet. You have to be careful of what you eat because the body will intake what you take through the mouth.

Therefore, the founder, Walter, promoted the eating of foods such as grains, meats, fish, vegetables plus many other natural foods. It is not that this foods fulfill all the prophesies of good health. But, with your hard work in keeping fit; jogging, going to the gym, playing football, or any other hobby you have developed to keep fit, you shall make your body healthy and fit.

So with this dug up information, I was able to work on the basics of Paleo diet and continue being fit. The nutrition is nice; it does not make me a vegetarian because I love having meat especially for a party. I do not want any diet that touches my fish that I have on Fridays at an exquisite restaurant located at my home area. However, I still need something to keep me fit. So this was a great answer to my cry.

To add on to this article, Walter was not just a nobody, he was a Gastroenterologist. This is a field in medicine where such specialists are involved in looking after the digestive system. In the least, I knew that a specialist who knew what he was doing was advocating this nutrition.

The Logic Behind Paleo Nutrition, Health and Fitness

Walter L. Voetglin, a gastroenterologist, was the first person to suggest that we should take up the Paleo diet. He said that the diet is good to humans just as it was good to our fore fathers. The diet is a mixture of wild fruits, vegetables, and animal bred through natural grazing. The diet also includes fish, eggs, and many other things. It is probably because of Walters’ profession that he came up with this conclusion. A gastroenterologist is someone that deals with the digestive system.

Walter knew what was good for the stomach. Moreover, he wanted people to stay healthy from what they ate. The horizontal dimensions of out body are defined by what we eat. Nevertheless, other experts have come up with many other reasons, which show that we should take up Paleo.

It is not a surprise that many experts have come up with this conclusion. The reason is that man had some kind of evolution. Even though you do not believe in evolution, at least you can consider that man had a history in order to get to where he is.

The evolution or history made him who he is. Man has adapted to many things to make him whole. If we consider that the first people to come to this earth were eating a particular type of food, then that is what our bodies must have adopted to.

Fortunately, this foods are still available in the current world. The dodo must have gone extinct, but there are other animals that we can rear and enjoy their meat. The early man ate wild foods by gathering and hunted the wild animals for a meal. He did not have processed foods for lunch but a truly good meal of naturally occurring foods.

Due to this adaptation, the foods mentioned are considered best suited for man. In order to continue justifying our argument, research on cells has shown that they do not die. Cells will multiply or divide. Division is what makes it possible for our human race to continue. New offspring’s are gotten from this division.  You can already see where this argument is going. Therefore, cells through their memory will remember habits of long ago. They will partake what they need. Since, the early man had shown the cells that they should have wild foods for meals, then we should all be taking wild foods.

Details of Paleo Nutrition

There is much in nutrition in the world. Currently, with the increase in health awareness, people are involving themselves with a nutrition they are comfortable to use. In order to measure whether a nutrition is fit, then you have to look at its effects when taken for a long time. Paleo advocates for a nutrition that is good for every person’s health.

Paleo has the advantage of not removing the good things from the food. There are diets advocated for which are just a farce. This nutrition does not chuck out the meat from our usual diet. What it advocates for is the eating of lean meat that is from animals that are bred naturally. The animals should be bred by grazing using grass, and other natural fodder such as Napier grass.

The people that started this nutrition reasoned well. They came up with a basic explanation of what should be eaten and why. The reason was simple. They said that since the Paleolithic times, are he millions of years ago, man has adapted to several types of foods. The foods are good for health because have sustained man throughout years.

Now that man has been able to manufacture his own food, he should not turn away from the old acquired habits. Man should continue his acceptance of these natural gifts. In recent years, it is a widely accepted fact that junk foods are unhealthy. The problem with junk foods is that they are sweet and once you are hooked with a particular taste, it is had to leave it. Junk foods make people grow horizontally without any exceptions.

However, with paleo nutrition, you can still eat the same foods that are used to when you eat the junk foods, but this time it is different. The potatoes and vegetables shall be well cooked with vegetable oil and not the fatty chips or burgers’ that you eat. You shall like the nutrition just like the junk food.  Moreover, the food is now healthy and involves less fat. You can then go and work out in a gym and have your body grow strong.

Paleo is considered among one of the nutrition’s widely accepted in the world. It has been under review in many researches and there are many opinions from experts about the nutrition. Some experts consider its importance while others regard other nutritious diets to be far much better. What comes out clear, it is your choice in doing whatever is good to your body.
