The Paleolithic diet goes by many names, including the caveman diet, the hunter-gatherer diet, and the stone age diet. Regardless of what name you give it, the benefits of the Paleo diet are numerous. Once you adjust to this different way of eating and looking at food, you will start to feel the difference in your body.
Our bodies are simply not designed to process and use many of the foods in our modern diet. Many of the staples of the modern diet that we think of as healthy are actually products that man himself grew. They are not natural foods. And they are certainly not foods that our bodies were designed to use for fuel. Relatively speaking, these foods are new to our diet and our bodies have not fully adapted to our intake.
The result of our consumption of these foods is much like what happens when you use the wrong fuel in your vehicle: a slow engine. Our bodies respond by making themselves susceptible to illness and disease. Our bodies work more slowly and less efficiently than they should. In general, we just don’t feel good. However, most of us can’t remember a time when these ‘foods’ weren’t in our diet, so we don’t realize that how we feel is not normal. We are not aware that our bodies can, in fact, feel better and function at much higher levels.
The four benefits of the Paelo diet are: increased energy; clearer and smoother skin; weightloss; and a stronger immune system.
Energy boost
One of the benefits of the Paleo diet is increased energy. You will have more energy than you know what to do with. Some people say they feel younger, but others say they have more energy than they remember having. Think about it: the Paleo man had to have a lot of energy just to get through the day, which was focused on surviving. His diet sustained him for the equivalent of walking ten miles each day, as well as fleeing predators and lifting heavy objects.
Clearer and smoother skin
Your skin will look clearer and smoother than ever. Sometimes we don’t even realize how dull and dull our skin’s appearance has become until it begins to lighten. The Paleo diet is a skin lightening miracle.
weightloss
Many of us begin to struggle with our weight as we age. Once you make the switch to the Paleo diet, you’ll be amazed at how easy weight loss becomes. Paleo man didn’t fight the bulge like we do. His physique was slim and slender.
stronger immune system
Once you eliminate the harmful processed and cultured foods we’ve added to our diets, your body begins to regain its natural resistance to disease and illness. Paleo man had a short life expectancy due to lack of medical care, not disease. He did not suffer from heart disease or diabetes like we do.
The benefits of the Paleo diet are too good to ignore.
