These days diabetes, obesity and Blood pressure have become the
most common among people. According to latest news reports,
India ranks first in the list of Diabetes. These days, not just aged people by
also youngsters (age14-25) suffer from diabetes and obesity. The numbers are
increasing rapidly. But the bigger question is how can one overcome this life
threatening condition?
Researchers have proved that Paleo diet is the apt solution to
curb the modern day issues and this diet has created news
headlines across the globe. It’s like eating how the
Paleolithic age man ate. The diet recommendations in Paleo diet are exactly
opposite to modern day nutritionists/doctors advice. Paleo diet follows the
concept of eat fat- shed fat. But wondering how is it possible?
People who live around 10,000 years ago did not know how to
cultivate crops. Then, hunting was main source for food. The fruits they ate
were mostly seasonal and that was not enough to provide energy. History has
also proved that humans have been accustomed to extract energy from meat.
But today, our food consists of adulterated fruits, vegetables,
chemically processed refined oils, glutton added flour etc.
As we continuously intake such foods, body stacks up trans fat,
leading to all sort of diseases over the time.
Now if you wish to follow Paleo diet chart then you are advised
to skip high carbohydrate food items like rice, wheat, maida, cereals, rice,
vegetables that grow under the ground such as potatoes, beetroot and fruits
that contains fructose. This diet recommends that one consumes high omega fatty
acid and B12 rich food items like eggs, chicken, mutton, pork and beef meats,
nuts like Almonds that contains high cholesterol, Broccoli and Cabbage that
contain magnesium.
Normally a Paleo diet consists intake of 100 grams Almonds in
morning, 4 eggs plus paleo veges for lunch, better tea for evening and any kind
of meat for dinner. Once the body is use to this diet, then it starts to
extract energy from fat. There is no denial that body can take energy from
carbohydrate but that is instant energy and it is never sufficient for body’s
apt functioning.
As the body is use to extracting energy from fat, it starts to
burn out the fat that was stored around the belly and the weight loss is
visible in a week’s time. The most common aspect that we hear is that
cholesterol leads to heart attack but that is still not medically proven and is
till now an assumption.
According to experts if Paleo
diet is followed regularly, then it can bring diabetes to normalcy. Obesity
and join pain are also to an extent cured by it. At the end of day, health is
wealth and healthy living leads to happy living.
