Nutrition
We exist because our Hunter-Gatherer Ancestors survived on a varied and whole diet whole foods - fruits, nuts, vegetables, legumes and so on. Nutrition is about, nourishing the body with the same whole foods, foods that were around in the time of our Ancestors, applied with common sense.
Nourishing the body is about protecting the liver, feeding the gut, safeguarding the brain by consuming unprocessed foods and drinks that provide our body with the energy and nutrients required for proper functioning, well-being, and longevity.
Our simple rule - eat foods that were around in the time of our Ancestors with a dash of common sense.
Take a look at:
- The NOVA Food Classification System, it's very useful - as a rule of thumb, avoid group 4.
- The Paleo diet - A diet aligned with our simple rule.
I've cut out 95% of processed food from my diet and my weight fell off, my energy levels increased and my life improved - I wouldn't be writing this without those changes.
