Embrace traditional diets for optimal health from "summary" of Deep Nutrition by Catherine Shanahan, M.D.

Our bodies have a deep evolutionary history that has shaped our genes over millions of years. This genetic blueprint guides our bodies on how to function optimally, including what foods to eat. Traditional diets have been consumed by our ancestors for generations, providing the necessary nutrients to keep them healthy and thriving. These diets are in perfect harmony with our genetic makeup, offering the ideal balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates that our bodies require for optimal health. When we stray away from these traditional diets and consume processed foods filled with artificial ingredients and chemicals, we disrupt this delicate balance. Our bodies become overwhelmed with substances they were not designed to process, leading to inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and a host of other health issues. By returning to our roots and embracing traditional diets, we can restore this balance and support our bodies in functioning at their best. Traditional diets are not only beneficial for our physical health but also for our mental and emotional well-being. These diets are rich in nutrients that support brain function, mood regulation, and overall cognitive health. By nourishing our bodies with the foods they were meant to consume, we can experience increased energy, mental clarity, and emotional stability. Moreover, traditional diets are sustainable and environmentally friendly. They often rely on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients that are grown in a way that respects the natural environment. By supporting local farmers and choosing foods that are in alignment with our genetic heritage, we can reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
  1. Embracing traditional diets is not just a dietary choice – it is a lifestyle change that can have profound effects on our health and well-being. By honoring our genetic heritage and nourishing our bodies with the foods they were designed to consume, we can experience optimal health, vitality, and longevity. Let us return to the wisdom of our ancestors and rediscover the power of traditional diets in promoting overall wellness.
