Micronutrients and Macronutrients in Paleo

Paleo does not seek to reduce any of the macro or micronutrients in the body. However, what it seeks to achieve is a good balance such that the body remains fit. I have wanted to discuss the basis of Paleo in providing sufficient micronutrients in various Paleo forums, but I shall include my discussion in this paper.

You probably do not know how to differentiate between macronutrients and micronutrients. Their differences can be simply explained through simple words.

• Macronutrients

Macronutrients are the foods that are taken in large portions into the body. They provide the necessary energy to the body and help the muscles stay strong and the body stay rigid. They will include the various foods that you are well aware of. These foods are carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins.

• Micronutrients

They are very important in the body. According to modern medicine, they are very important especially in body reactions. The body will require achieving many reactions every day in order to attain body order. There are chemicals that should be produced in order to do several works in the body. This work is not visible, but its effect is felt and seen.

Importance of Paleo Diet
It is observed that people in the current age are getting diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and other mysterious diseases. They occur from what is referred to as civilization diseases. If we now go back to a diet that we were accustomed to during man’s evolution, then we are in safe hands. The diet we were accustomed to made the body reactions that were safe to the body. The body was not mistreated to harsh foods that introduce chemical reactions that it is not comfortable with.

With the change in the levels of micronutrients that we take, the body will have different reactions. The bodies microorganisms will develop differently and we are therefore prone to diseases. However, if we went back and stopped eating the foods that are introducing these different level of micronutrients, then we are safe.

Conclusion

Take proper foods for your diet and get your body healthy. I want to show that this helps us to pave way for a better generation that is healthy. The cells that we have shall be passed on to the future generation. They will still have the memory of what is good for them. Therefore, do not defile your body with refined products.
