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.

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.
