Eating a healthy, balanced diet provides nutrients to your body. These nutrients give you energy and keep your heart beating, your brain active, and your muscles working and also help build and strengthen bones, muscles, and tendons and also regulate body processes, such as blood pressure. It can lower your risk of developing a range of chronic diseases. Healthy eating can also help people that already have some types of disease or illness such as diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure.
I found The Paleo diet is the healthiest way you can eat because it is the ONLY nutritional approach that works with your genetics to help you stay lean, strong and energetic! Research in biology, biochemistry and many other disciplines indicate it is our modern diet, full of refined foods, trans fats and sugar, that is at the root of degenerative diseases such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression and infertility.
What is PALEO DIET
The Paleo Diet is an effort to eat like we used to back in the day…WAY back in the day. If a caveman couldn’t eat it, neither can you. This means anything we could hunt or find – meats, fish, nuts, leafy greens, regional veggies, and seeds, NO the pasta, cereal, and candy. If you think back in the day, grains were not part of our diet. The grains cause kind of funky response in our system.
Grains are composed of carbohydrates, and those carbs are turned into glucose (a type of sugar) in our system to be used for energy and various other tasks to help our body function –any glucose that isn’t used as energy is stored as fat.
Next, most grains contain gluten and lectins. What are they and what’s wrong with them?

Next, most grains contain gluten and lectins. What are they and what’s wrong with them?
- Gluten is a protein found in things like rye, wheat, and barley. Over time, those who are gluten intolerant can develop a dismal array of medical conditions from consuming gluten: dermatitis, joint pain, reproductive problems, acid reflux, and more.
- Lectins are natural toxins exist within grains to defend against consumption! These lectins are not a fan of our gastrointestinal tract, prevent the tract from repairing itself from normal wear and tear. This can cause all kinds of damage.
