What does Paleo mean and what food can you eat?
The paleo diet is all about mimicking the eating habits of our caveman ancestors. The thinking is that by eating like our ancestors did, we can stay healthy and avoid many of the chronic diseases that plague modern day society. So what does that mean exactly? Well, on a paleo diet, you eat mostly meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. You avoid processed foods, dairy, grains, and legumes. Some people also choose to avoid sugar and alcohol.
So what are some of the benefits of eating paleo? Many people report increased energy levels, weight loss, and improved digestion. There is also some evidence to suggest that the paleo diet can help improve blood sugar control, reduce inflammation, and even improve heart health. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist if you have any specific dietary concerns or restrictions.
