The other area where most people can assume more responsibility for their health. People tend to think that “something happened” and there’s not much you can do to degenerative diseases that come with aging prevention. It makes no sense.

Longevity has increased during the past century. Some is due to new drugs and advances in surgical techniques. But mostly it’s just the way of life – people bathe more often they are exposed to less dangerous tasks, they are smoking, eating less, and some are better food. (Fruits and vegetables were scarce and expensive in the winter months, when my grandfather was a child).

Unlike the cigarette is not the most powerful, what do you do to is to ensure good health is to eat the right foods. make the most errors people, but if you follow what you suggest the risk for almost all diseases and disorders that interfere with the lifestyle and emptying bank accounts of so many people, when their 50, 60 to achieve, and 70 will reduce.

Why is nutrition so confusing?

By 1988, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop announced that foods high in fat in the American diet is a health risk, was comparable to smoking had. So, people began to eat fatty foods and not low in fat such as bagels and cookies Snackwell. Despite this change to fix the rate of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and grow.

Then the pendulum swung the other way, with people adopting the Atkins diet and ate only meat, cheese and eggs. And Atkins himself had a heart attack.

Part of the problem is that food is a lot of money. Thus, the USDA Food Pyramid put out the product is very heavy lobbying. Another part of the problem is that there is now no major paradigm of what is good nutrition have been real.

And yes, eating lean vegetarian burgers counsel their whole grains and soy, they think the proper way to eat while avoiding other carbohydrates such as the plate. Who is right? If the answer is moderation? And what’s this?

Eating foods that we have developed to eat

Imagine you were a zookeeper, and it was your job to keep the animals healthy. In a cage, you have a giraffe, you entered another lion, and the third you have an anteater. What do you give them?

Most people you meet them to eat what they try to eat in the wild. If you do, you’re likely to have healthy animals. If you get things mixed wire and leaves the lion, giraffe and ants anteater meat you some sick animals are very fast.

So with the same idea of what you feed a person for his or her best to stay healthy? The food they designed to eat, of course.

For two people. 5000000 years people lived as hunters and gatherers. We ate what we could find or catch. So, our diet consisted of fruit, vegetables, tubers, meat and seafood (And sometimes, mistakes).

Only 10,000 years ago (500 generations), people eat cereals (wheat started, rice, corn, etc.) as part of their normal diet. Consumption of dairy products (except milk) began 6000 years ago. Regular use of vegetable oils, refined sugar and salt is even younger. As I mentioned last month, two thirds of the foods we now eat foods that are new to our system, for which we do not adapt genetically.

Evolution moves slowly, and the simple fact is that we have not adapted to eat these foods, and they make us sick.

Problems with grain

Grains are the seeds of grasses. The grass seeds themselves do not eat, because its goal is to develop a new stem. It has several “anti-nutrients” in order to protect against parasites and predators.

inhibitors of trypsin protease bind in wheat, preventing digestive enzymes to digest this protein. A protein called agglutinates wheat germ (WGA) is made, the binding of a hormone receptor in the intestine, enter the circulation and causes an immediate immune response each time you eat a piece of bread.

WGA will also increase the permeability good, increase the likelihood that other components of undigested food in the market may, in fact.

Another element found in cereals such as rye, oats, barley and maize are alkylresorcinols. “These thoughts are the seeds provide resistance to pathogens, but they are also toxic to humans and shown to cause destruction of red blood cells and DNA damage.


Discard the seeds, but also the blood glucose very quickly, which has a high release of insulin from the pancreas. circulating levels of insulin are characteristic of “metabolic syndrome” that affected a large number of Americans from the time.

What about milk?

Cow’s milk contains a hormone called betacellulin, which binds to a receptor in the intestine called the EGF receptor. A single glass of milk has the ability to receiver 10 times more than usually occur within 24 hours of the GEF should stimulate saliva.

If the EGF receptor is stimulated it causes the body to upregulate “EGF receptor, primarily due more to see. This tour we’re going even further betacellulin in the body will make you the next time some dairy products. Upregulation of the EGF receptor is characteristic of many cancers, including breast, prostate, lung, ovarian and bladder cancer.

No other animals that humans consume milk after the age of weaning.

Preventing autoimmune diseases

The incidence of autoimmune diseases, such as people increased with age. It occurs when the body’s ability to lose their own proteins to be distinguished from other proteins, and begins to attack.

Grains and beans contain substances that “lectins” which are well known to increase permeability, so that perhaps in the gut bacterial substance that triggers an autoimmune reaction.

Grains and beans also contain proteins with amino acid sequences that are very similar to those found in human collagen and other tissues. When the confusion of the immune system attack, it can even (for example, rheumatoid arthritis when the joints are swollen and painful).

Rid of Acne

Yes, even something as seemingly minor acne by Paleo diet can be avoided.
