According to author Loren Cordain, modern health and diet problems
didn’t start with the advent of packaged snack food, but much
earlier–back at the dawn of the agricultural age many thousands of years
ago. As humans became less nomadic and more dependent on
high-carbohydrate diets, we left behind the diet we had evolved with,
which is based on low-fat proteins and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Sugars, fats, and carbs were rare, if they were present at all, and
survival required a steady, if low-key, level of activity.
Cordain’s book The Paleo Diet blends medical research with a
healthy sprinkle of individual anecdotes, practical tips, and recipes
designed to make his suggestions into a sustainable lifestyle, rather
than a simple month-long diet; he even includes cooking recommendations
and nationwide sources for wild game.
Claims of improving diseases from diabetes to acne to polycystic
ovary disease may be a little overstated, but in general the advice
seems sound. Can any of us really go wrong by adding lots more
vegetables and fruits to our daily regimen? One recommendation on safe
tanning with a gradual reduction in sunscreen is surprising and not much
detail is provided for safety issues that can accompany increased sun
exposure. Still, Cordain’s assertions have helped many people, and could
provide exactly the changes you’ve been looking for to improve your
health. –Jill Lightner
