But in essense, eating paleo is an attempt at maximizing gene expressions by eating more like our primal ancestors. You see, the agricultural revolution is a very recent advent in human history; too recent, as some scientific opinion goes, for the human body to become an effective grain machine. Thus our bodies, in their present evolutionary situation, are not adapted to properly digesting grains and the anti-nutrients they contain.<br /><br />By going primal/paleo, the focus is to eat in such a manner as best befits the present state of our genetic make-up. Such a dietary shift require eliminating grains. And for some, it also means giving up dairy.<br /><br />Now, being as you are descendent of Northern Europeans (Finnish, right?), your body would be well suited to dairy. However, a majority of the world's population is ill-suited to consuming dairy.<br /><br />Another issue is that because people literally are what they eat (on a physiological level), intake of dairy that has been sourced from grain-fed animals means that the dairy being received is made-up of deficient nutrients. As such, that dairy is incompatible with a lot of people's natural bodily expression and results in a good many deliterious results: e.g., insulin disregulation. So, for some people, like myself, I have eliminated dairy and replaced the fats I would usually receive from it with coconut oil. Mid-chain fatty acids do wonders for me, as they do most people.<br /><br />Have you looked into the wonders of coconut oil?Kane Augustushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365182037573315451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782706867987073426.post-63205304183568622752011-01-23T05:50:03.332-06:002011-01-23T05:50:03.332-06:00I read a little about the Paleo Diet.

It seems to be more based on a philosophy than nutritional science.Skeptigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114437797095740146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782706867987073426.post-24395130221376847832011-01-23T04:09:53.425-06:002011-01-23T04:09:53.425-06:00I haven't heard about that.

Like the eat right for your blood type. That was crazy and I heard about it whn I was like 14. I just looked at the speaker, smiled and nodded and thought this thing is full o'poo. It is supposed to be based on ancestral diets and I was supposed to give up dairy. Well my ancestors ate more dairy than like any other group. Also the guy who told me about it went to Chinese restaurants and lectured random people at the buffe how shrimp was not kosher.<br /><br />I am glad that adopting healthy habits is paying off for you.Skeptigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114437797095740146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782706867987073426.post-84141502332815432952011-01-22T20:31:05.587-06:002011-01-22T20:31:05.587-06:00Skepti-
