The Paleolithic Diet
The Paleolithic people were nomadic people. During the Paleolithic Period foods were eaten raw. They did not eat grains or dairy products. Many grain were inedible raw. Additionally, beans and potatoes were inedible. Grains, beans and potatoes contain toxins. Milk was not consumed during the Paleolithic period because animal had not been domesticated.The only sweetner was natural honey. Some studies indicated the the Paleolithic diet was one-half animial foods and the remainder fruits, vegetables and nuts. Around 10,000 years ago, there was a world changing discovery. The discovery was fire. Man discovered cooking. Cooking these foods killed the toxins making them edible. Cooking issued in the New Stone Age or the Neolithic Period. In the beginning food was either roasted or toasted. Roasting was limited to meats, nuts and a few grains.
After the Paleolithic period was the Neolithic period. The Neolithic period ushered in agriculture and pottery. People were able to stay and live in one place. People grew their own grains. Pottery made cooking easier and foods could be transported. Note, the Paleolithic people eat raw natural foods. Cooking enabled man to increase their diet by making inedible foods edible. Modern society has introduced processed foods and additives. Additives and processed foods have their advantages but it is well documented the negative health affects that additives and preservatives has on our daily lives.

Vegetables: Low risk of heart disease and lung cancer have been linked to leafy green vegetables, broccoli, and peppers are full of beta-carotene. These beta-carotene is associated with lowered risk of heart disease and lung cancer. Leafy greens are also rich in vitamin C a protector against a host of ills. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene a carotenoid that may protect against several types of cancer. Vegetables are fiberous.

-Spinach, beans and whole grain rice will provide the amino acids provided in meats.
-Vegetables have a high levels of water. Vegetables are fat free and low in calories.The nutrients in vegetables boost energy production within the muscle cells. Consuming high levels of vegetables is a healthy way to lose weight and increased energy levels. Vegetable can be used as main entrees or as snacks.
-Vegetable are low in sodium meaning less water retention.
-Fats in vegetables are unsaturated.
-Cholesterol and triglyceride (fats in the blood) levels dropped with high consumption of vegetables.
-Vegetable health benefits are: Reduces risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, some types of kidney diseases and some cancers: lowers the risk of digestive system diseases.
Fruits: Citrus fruits, strawberries and other fruits are rich is vitamin C, A and E a protectors against a host of ills. These vitamins are important anti-oxidants and protect the body against oxidants. In Italy the daily open-air markets have produce picked that morning. Italian cooks rely on the fresh and local ingredients. We in America rely on produce-store-consume later system. Antioxidants have a shelf life so try to purchase at local markets and do not store produce for long periods of time.
-Fruits like vegetables are fiberous. fruits provide roughage and fiber that is important in helping keep your digestive system regular.
-Phytonutrients are the pigments that make blueberries blue and cranberries red. Recently discovered phytonutrients are powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect the body against cancer-causing free radicals. Bright colored fruits containing phytonutrients are another benefit of fruits.
-Cholesterol and triglyceride (fats in the blood) levels dropped with high consumption of fruit.
The USDA recommends at least five servings of fruit daily.
Lean Meat and Poultry: In the Paleolithic period meat and poultry were fed a natural diets. Chicken had access to natural greens and insects. Cattle roamed free and eat natural pastural greenery. Today natural poultry and meat may not always be accessible but in the modern Paleo diet meats should be free of breading.
Fish: Especially salmon, halibut and tuna contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids “good” fat and lowers cholesterol levels. The benefits of omega-3s includes; reduces blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke problems, as well as certain skin ailments.
Nuts (non processed): Nuts are cholesterol free and eating one ounce per day reduces the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Some studies suggest 4-5 servings per day may help lower blood pressure. Nuts are a great snack.
Preservative Free:The Paleo Gluten Free Diet is free of preservatives. Originally, preservatives were added to food to prevent spoilage. To enhance taste, texture and nutritional value manufacturers started adding additives into foods. Preservatives are in many things we eat: artificial colours, flavours and all processed foods.
Different from other gluten free diets the Paleo diet is preservative free.
Health Results: Preservatives can cause allergies, stomach pains, hives, high blood pressure and skin rashes. Some scientific studies suggest preservatives have no nutritional value. Ron Lagerquist author of North American Diet states that, “cumulative effect of toxins will increase the risk of becoming a host to disease .” For most it is not realistic to eat a totally preservative free diet but a major life long reduction will minimalize risks of developing health issues.
Oils: In the modern Paleo Diet certain plant oils are allowed (olive oil, flax seed oil and nut oils). These oils are unsaturated good fats.
Preferred oils are olive oil or vegetable oils. Margarine is not used in the Paleo diet.
Fats: There are good fats and bad fats. Bad fats are considered hard or saturated fats found in butter and meat. Saturated fats cause plaque build up in the arteries. Unsaturated fats are plant derived fats constitute seed and vegetable oils. Unsaturated fats inhibit plaque build up decreasing heart disease. Additionally, unsaturated fats lower blood cholesterol and provides an essential source of omega-3 fatty acids. Beneficial claims of using olive oil are reduction of plaque build-up, lowering of blood cholesterol and reducing the risk of blood clotting and strokes.

Cooking and Restaurant Tips for The Paleolithic Diet - The Paleo Diet
Gluten free meals requires that cooking surfaces, utensils and cooking oils are gluten free. If you whole household requires a gluten free diet it is a easy task.

One of the main concerns with a gluten free diet is cross-contamination. Gluten meals have to be prepared with no cross contamination from gluten products in your kitchen and in restaurants. Cross-contamination happens if gluten containing foods come in contact with gluten free foods. An example is commercial oaks. Oaks are gluten free but can be processed in the same environment as wheat there for can become cross contaminated. For those that require a gluten-free diet oaks should not be consumed. Likewise, preparation of gluten free foods requires rules to eliminate cross-contamination with gluten produces in your home and in restaurant.

3. Use different utensils for gluten free foods and foods containing gluten. If the same utensils are used the utensils have to be cleaned thoroughly for gluten free products.
4. The same toaster cannot be used for gluten containing foods and gluten free foods. A separate toaster is needed for gluten free products.
5. Gluten free foods cannot be fried in the same oil used to fry gluten breaded items. One simple rule that can be easily overlooked.
6. Cross contamination can occur with jams, jelly, mustard, mayonnaise and butter. Watch out for gluten crumbs that can be shared. Have separate items for celiac persons.
