What is Paleo? Part 1

What is this whole "Paleo" thing?  In its most simplest form the term Paleo is derived from the Paleolithic era, a time when our ancestors walked the earth with significantly less chronic disease and illness compared to right now.  The premise is - mimic what they ate and go back to a life of real food which will = less disease and better overall health.  So what did they eat? Nutrient dense whole foods including mostly meats and vegetables, nuts and seeds and fruit.  What did they avoid? Highly processed nutrient poor foods including - grains, legumes and pasteurized dairy products (think white stuff: pastas, table sugar, bread etc.)  In the modern era it's not so much about trying to reenact a period of ancient history but is more about trying to create a framework that provides you with the maximum output of health and vibrance.  Stay tuned for part two as we dive a little deeper into why this all matters.
