The Paleolithic Diet

The Paleolithic diet, named after the Paleolithic or old Stoneage which ended about 10,000 years ago is recommended by many authorities as the best diet for longevity. The thinking behind this is as follows: Humans have existed in their present form for about 150,000 years in the old Stoneage and up to a million years in other more primative forms. For all these years we subsisted on a hunter/gatherer diet consisting of meat, fish, roots, bark, vegetables, eggs, fruits and nuts. All the archaeological evidence points to humans being omnivores.

An Epidemic of Obesity

The American Heart Association is predicting that in 20 years some 40 percent of Americans will have high blood pressure, heart disease, heart failure, stroke, or other circulatory pathology. This is partly due to our aging population but has more to do with our disasterous life style than anything else. Furthermore there is an epidemic of denial in the US. Some 30 percent of overweight people believe they are normal size, and 70 percent of obese folks think of themselves as only a bit overweight.
