Like saturated fat, carbohydrates and grains, most of us get it all wrong when it gets to cholesterol.
We’re told to limit our consumption of butter, lard, red meat and eggs, or worse, to go on statins to reduce our blood cholesterol levels, but yet, our ancestors seem to have thrived on those foods without the predicted heart problems.
Seeing the opportunity, the pharmacology industry did a really...
If you subscribe to today’s conventional wisdom, you probably think that being healthy and fit requires a lifelong dedication to strenuous exercise, calorie counting and restrictions.
This couldn’t be further from the truth and if you try to lose weight battling against your body’s mechanisms and genetics I wish you good luck on your life of hardship and deception.
People tell me all...
When it comes to dairy and the Paleo diet, some debates pop-up and dairy definitely is in a grey zone.
In the strict Paleo sense, dairy of any form was not consumed in the paleolithic era, other than human milk in infancy of course. It just wasn’t very practical to milk wild game.
The mere fact that something wasn’t consumed during the paleolithic era doesn’t make it bad, but...
Autoimmune diseases and digestive related problems (Chron’s disease, Celiac disease, Ulcerative Colitis, IBD, IBS, Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, Interstitial cystitis, Multiple Sclerosis,…) can be very dehabilitating and can take on your whole life. I think that eating a Paleo diet has the potential to cure a good part of those conditions that are quite new to us. However, for those dealing with...
Here is a list of some of the changes frequently seen on a Paleo diet. Of course, they are a bunch of other ones and this is why I invite you to post yours at the end of this post.
Note that unlike regular fad diets that are usually built with only one advantage in mind, weight loss usually, the Paleo diet is a whole lifestyle that mimics the perfect gene expression for our bodies so it’s no...
I’m not going to sugar coat this article and I might sound somewhat rude, but I think someone has to step up and tell the truth about some “Gurus” in the world of nutrition. This is my way of helping people not making the same mistakes I made that led me to huge health problems. I will also demonstrate good reasons why people should always be critical of those so called gurus and thus...
It is my understanding that most vegetarians or vegans do it mainly for the environment or because they don’t like the idea of killing or mistreating animals.
Those principles are very noble, but I’ll explain why they often don’t make any sense if you think about the bigger picture. I wish I had this kind of information before jumping on a raw food diet of only fruits, vegetables and nuts...
You’ve probably heard about the importance of having good amounts of Vitamin D, but you might be wondering why there is so much talk around this particular vitamin, especially in the Paleo diet circles.
One of the reasons Paleo eaters put so much importance on Vitamin D is because it’s one of the only vitamins you could still be deficient on a balanced Paleo diet.
The reason behind that is not...
This article discusses a simple way to replace your commercial toothpaste with a cheap and natural alternative made simply out of coconut oil and baking soda. For a lengthier discussion on keeping healthy teeth, consult the article about the dietary approach to prevent and heal tooth decay.
Humans and their teeth problems
Do you ever wonder why us, humans, have so much problems with our teeth? We have...
Many people think that grass-fed beef and pasture-raised animals is a luxury for the wealthy and that it won’t make a big difference in the end. This is a wrong assumption.
In fact, I think that meat raised correctly is so important that I would sell my car and live in a smaller house before eating factory-raised animals if money ever becomes an issue.
You probably already know that the chicken, pork or...
