Paleo means “older or ancient, especially relating to the geological past.” The Paleo diet is eating foods that are wholesome and nutritious. The foods that the paleo diet is based on are the foods that we would have eaten during the Paleolithic era. Which dates from 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago. This diet typically consists of lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. This diet limits the consumption of foods that became common in farming during the past 10,000 years. This diet was created in the 1970s by a gastroenterologist named Walter Voegtlin. Walter was the pioneer of this diet.
People who are on the paleo diet can enjoy weight loss, lowering blood pressure, and controlling blood sugar in the short term. But experts caution that in the long run, this diet may lead to nutrient deficiencies and other health risks.
