We have to get back to the "Caveman diet"

Like the old saying, we ARE what we eat. We have to actually go back to the "caveman diet" in order to get healthy again. Our modern day diets are literally killing us. With the fast food generation and the processing of foods we by in stores, our bodies cannot take the artificial ingredients that it is forced fed. Cancer rates are rising and one of the biggest reasons is what we eat and drink.

The water we drink is polluted with chemicals, waste products, fluoride and other toxins that even the water treatment plants don't get rid of before they send it onto you. The food we eat is full of chemicals used as fertilizers and pesticides. Even organically grown food may be infected with toxins drawn up through the water table. Is there any place we can find food that is not toxic to our system? There is, but we have to search for it. Most organic farms try their hardest to eliminate any possible absorptionby the plants.

Meat products are another aspect we must consider if we want to eat healthy. Most of the meats we buy in the supermarkets are from animals fed growth hormones and eat food that is has chemicals in it, thus it is passed onto us. Along with that, eating meats should be limited as consumption of meats leads to many diseases, including cancer.

I have read many articles stating that we have to get back to the "Caveman Diet" in order to cut down the dramatic increase in diseases. Eating raw fruits and vegetables is essential for having a healthy diet and lifestyle. Also, it has been noted that cooking these foods will eliminate the essential vitamins and nutrients that they contain.

Eating excess dietary fat and cholesterol has been documented as the primary causes of many diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and many cancers. Saturated fats are found in meats, whole milk dairy products and all the fast food which are manufactured for consumption. The Caveman Diet didn't have any junk food or processed meats, so this is one reason for the rise of cancer and other diseases the past century and a half.

Uncooked vegetables and fruits are nature’s gift to us as cures to a lot of our ailments. Now days, processed food as refined, cooked and processed for long shelf life. Along with that, most of the nutrients have been boiled out of the food. Since food processors have been packaging our food with food color and preservatives, cancer along with chronic degenerative illnesses have seen rates rise dramatically.

It is imperative that we clear our households of the poisons that are making us sick. I will keep posting more information on our diets and how we need to get "back to nature" in the future.
