The Paleo diet is the healthiest way to eat because it is the only nutritional approach that works with genetics to help to stay lean, strong and energetic. Research in biology, biochemistry, ophthalmology, dermatology and many other disciplines indicate that our modern diet, is full of refined foods, trans fats and sugar, which are the roots of degenerative diseases such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression and infertility. The paleo diet is based on emulating the diet of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. It includes whole, unprocessed foods that resemble look like in nature. Our ancestors were genetically the same as modern humans. They thrived eating such foods and were free of diseases like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Several studies suggest that this diet can lead to significant weight loss (without calorie counting) and major improvements in health.
