Answer:

Paleo Diet. Regardless of what experts or dieticians, say we could ask: what is the food that comes natural to the human being? What is the food we have developed a digestive system for?

We evolved for millions of years to develop a digestive system that handled fruits, some vegetables, nuts and protein, all in the raw state. That is it. Nothing else.

We don´t have the system to digest grains because agriculture did not exist during those millions of years of evolution, just a few vegetables.

It is called the paleo diet or paleolithic diet.

Agriculture was a big step in the development of civilization. Before it, we used to run around chasing different animals. There wasn’t much contact between humans. Once humans were able to stay at one place, thanks to agriculture, different civilizations started to flourish.

But there was a set back, we lost two important aspects for human health. We didn’t move like before agriculture. Prior, we had to be in continual movement to gather the animals and fruits necessary for survival.

Human body evolved for millions of years in this all day physical exertion, we were nomads. Like wild animals do today.

paleolithic diet In the last few thousand years of agriculture the exertion requirements for survival were less extreme. In the last century with commercial agriculture in place, we have to move even less.

We still have the body adapted to continual movement but don’t use it further than the refrigerator.
The other change agriculture brought was in diet. Now, we have all types of grains available during the whole year around, cheap grains for all.

This was the coup de grace to our body that now had to accommodate enormous amounts of carbohydrates and insulin. It was not prepared to handle it.

This high sugary, or carbohydrate, diet did more harm to our now sedentary body because we didn’t have the natural way to fight high insulin: exercising. Agriculture made as fat and sedentary and here we are in the 21th century, plagued with degenerative diseases, as a consequence.
