Paleo-Mediterranean Diet

OK... so think about this. Early man and his diet.  We were hunters, gatherers, and then, finally, farmers. If you take these thought into consideration every time that you go to the store, open the fridge, or go the the food pantry, you are likely to make better food choices.

The paleo-mediterranean diet simply means that the diet consists of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, berries, fish, and smaller amounts of whole grains. The mediterranean diet also includes SMALL amounts of cultured dairy products. It stresses the eating of very little simple carbohydrates, those commonly found in sugar, pastas, breads, cakes, candy, and soda.

In western societies, the rate of hypertension in the population is roughly one in four. High blood pressure, however, is virtually non-existent in societies that follow a hunter-gatherer type of diet.

If you wish to live longer with less of a risk of high blood pressure and all the diseases that it brings, it is time to take a close look at your diet.
