The Caveman Diet is simple and easy to follow especially for dieters who always get frustrated with their old and ineffective weight loss programs. As we all know, we are the Homo sapiens species now, and we do watch television, which qualifies us as living sedentary lives. Watching television gives us plenty of good things like informing us of what is happening around us, educating us about things, entertaining us, and a lot more.
However, it also gives us some bad things such as the effect of prolonged watching to our health. According to the Lund University in Sweden, the Caveman Diet is the most effective way of fighting diabetes. If we go back to our anthropology, we can trace back how these men lived their simple lives during the earlier times or Paleolithic period. In 1985, they tried to reincarnate this program in the New England Journal of Medicine written by S. Boyd Eaton and Melvin Konner.
They created a healthy plan patterned after the late Paleolithic period. Looking at the past, they only have basic and staple foods such as vegetables, lean meats, fish, and fruits that grow on their cultivated farms. This was even before agriculture came into picture, which was after two million years later. As time passed, we found ways to enhance and improve our ways of living including the foods we eat. Our nutrition also evolved at the same time that our lives did and our standard food consisted of refined fat and sugar, cereals, dairy products, and other fattening foods.
It happened over 2000 years ago when we replaced our basic Paleolithic Caveman Diet to agrarian modern foods. Consequently, we experienced increase in various diseases so if we want to get back to righteousness, we have to go back to this lifestyle.
