Paleolith diet

In foreign press this diet is called Paleo, and it means the Paleolith diet. The main idea – to eat minimum processed food, such what the cave person of an era of the Paleolith ate.

The creator of a diet is the American doctor Lauren Kordayn. He urges to eat as it was done by people 2.6 million years ago. But from the beginning of agricultural revolution about 10000 years ago food significantly changed, as led to the excess weight and problems with health subsequently.

How did cave people eat? Their diet included fresh meat (from wild animals on free walking and also mutton, beef, pork, a bird and a game), fish, seafood, fresh fruit, vegetables, seeds, nuts and healthy oils (olive, coconut, avocado, a macadamia, walnut and a linen seed). Dairy products, grain, bean, the refined sugar and the processed products were not included into the menu of our ancestors.



Researches of doctor Kordayn and his colleagues allowed to draw a conclusion that cave people were saved from many diseases, for example such as:
- Obesity,
- Cardiovascular diseases (heart troubles, stroke, high blood pressure, heart failure, atherosclerosis),
- Type 2 diabetes,
- Cancer,
- Autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, disease Krone, nonspecific ulcer colitis, etc.),
- Osteoporosis,
- Acne,
- Shortsightedness (short-sightedness), glaucoma,
- Varicosity, hemorrhoids,
- Gout.

Experts call a diet of the Paleolith similar to Atkins's diet, at least, on the high content of protein. However in Atkins's diet consumption of fruit is limited that is not present in the Paleolith diet.
