It is based on natural proteins and fats,fruits and vegetables;no sugar,grains or dairy allowed. According to proponents,the human body works best (and looks best) when it is fed food that Stone Age humans ate,such as grass-fed meat and vegetables. Foods added later to the human diet,like grains,are a cause of the inflammation that leads to many chronic diseases,as well as weight gain. As a Naturopath,Dr. Polley will look at the real benefits and sustainability of the Paleo Diet from a physician’s perspective,according to recent research. Join us Tuesday Oct 2nd to learn the core principles of the diet and sample some Paleo cooking! More information at:www.goaliveandwell.com.
