The Paleo Diet
I’m sure everyone has heard of the Paleo Diet. This particular diet encourages eating fresh
fruits and vegetables, wild caught game and fish, in addition to free-range
farm products. Flour, refined sugar,
salt, processed foods, legumes, beans and dairy foods are avoided.
Some short-term studies have been conducted and their
results showed definitive weight loss, lowered blood pressure and cholesterol.
Improved insulin sensitivity was also a result of this diet.
Scientists claim that the Paleo Diet does indeed reduce
sodium, saturated fat and refined sugar intake.
However, the diet’s low carb profile can lead to reduced exercise
performance. On the upside, there is a
Paleo for sports diet that includes more carbs.
