Paleo Perspectives on Aging, Fat Loss, Fitness, and Health: Utilizing Lifestyle Lessons From Your Ancient Ancestors and Other Successful Cultures to Promote Ultimate Wellness

Public health, health education, and medicine have failed to promote positive health outcomes by not capitalizing on the only concept that makes scientific and practical sense for attaining ultimate wellness. We've been unable to fully understand, learn, and apply lifestyle lessons from our ancient ancestors. In effect, we have become civilized to death.

The world in which our ancestors evolved was harsh and unyielding. The dire hardship endured over long periods required them to adapt or cease to continue as a species. Successful adaptation resulted in a near-perfect human genetic profile designed to promote health and control aging in a challenging environment. The physiological advantages inherited from them are the greatest gifts ever passed on to humankind. Unfortunately, we have assumed lifestyles that directly conflict with our Paleolithic past. In effect, we have squandered the advantages that the lifestyles of our ancestors indelibly stamped into our genetic code. Don't despair; the "fix" is relatively easy, and anybody can do it.

WCHP Fruit and Vegetable Health Index PDF

The most dramatic and straightforward way to positively affect your health may be to increase your dietary intake of vegetables and fruits. However, simply consuming these foods does not guarantee optimal health benefits. Several vegetable and fruit consumption factors may adversely influence health, and some may even be hazardous. I have selected fifty-five common vegetables and fruits and rated them from most to least healthy based on pesticide/herbicide contamination, glycemic load, and the food's pH (acid/base) effects on our bodies, and created a rating index to guide you in making informed and healthier choices.
