Evolutionists estimate we’ve been on this planet nearly 2.5 million years. We have been healing ourselves and living on a ‘hunter-gatherer’ seasonal diet of ‘primal’ foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables,\u00a0nuts\u00a0and seeds, since the dawn of our species. \u00a0Only relatively recently – about 10,000 years ago – did we start to settle in communities to grow crops of grains such as wheat and corn. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if you condense the whole of human evolution into just one year, it turns out we started eating grains only about a day and a half ago.\u00a0The pharmaceutical and drug industry started from its roots in botanicals (yes, really) in the mid-1800\u2019s, then left this behind for the more lucrative synthetic compounding in the early 1900\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just a blink of an eye in our history,\u00a0yet now we\u2019re taught to scorn the old, natural, bio-identical methods of keeping the body healthy, which has sustained us over these millions\u00a0of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetically we are virtually identical to our ancestors\u00a0and\u00a0are best adapted to these primal foods. Unfortunately,\u00a0much of what passes for ‘food’ that we now end up ingesting (courtesy of the agri-chemical, pharmaceutical and factory-food industries) is\u00a0largely unrecognised by our ancient, but highly efficient, biological systems – or our genes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is ironic that our bodies are\u00a0surviving longer now through a combination of better hygiene, advanced trauma treatments and a notable absence of\u00a0sabre-toothed tigers, yet here we are getting older, slower, sicker, fatter and weaker as we age than ever before in our long history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s go back and nourish ourselves on\u00a0whole, unprocessed foods, free of chemicals,\u00a0additives\u00a0and mankind\u2019s meddling. Let\u2019s go back to growing and buying food that looks like it\u2019s supposed to, and support ethical and sustainable farming. And let\u2019s go back to eating food that\u2019s made in a kitchen, rather than in a lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":609,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_nectar_blocks_hide_post_title":false,"_nectar_blocks_transparent_header_effect":false,"_nectar_blocks_transparent_header_effect_color":"light","_nectar_blocks_header_animation":false,"_nectar_blocks_header_animation_delay":0,"_nectar_blocks_header_animation_effect":"fade","_nectar_blocks_page_css":"","_nectar_blocks_page_js":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-608","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness-tips"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":610,"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions\/610"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skymediatest.co.nz\/performancehealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
