It is waning period of the Christmas shopping season. You have been very proactive and have had all of your shopping done for weeks now. Every bow has been tied, the Christmas lights are glowing in the front yard. Every last stocking stuffer is ready to go. Don’t panic, but you forgot someone. Yourself.
The holidays are about giving and getting, but too often it is your body that gets a little too much in the last two months of the year. Or, it doesn’t get enough…attention that is. It is interesting how we don’t perceive overeating and poor diet as punishing ourselves, instead viewing it as a treat, or emotional solace, or something we deserve. How can something so tiny as taste buds dictate how our whole body should be treated?
Yes, you should feed yourself adequately. A good diet isn’t about starving, it is about delivering the right level of nutrition that your particular body and lifestyle need to optimize health. But, stuffing yourself is no better than starving and it can have even more dire consequences in the long-term.
So, give your whole self a gift this Christmas, not just your taste buds. Make an appointment to visit with your physician for some guidance, then do some research as to which plan of attack best matches the goals you have in mind.Then, treat yourself to the best Christmas present you could ever give to yourself.

The diet of human beings prior to the arrival of agriculture, technology and civilization is known as the Paleolithic Diet. In short, it is a diet of the Stone Age which consisted of mainly lean red meat and vegetables. In this type of diet animal meat is consumed in large quantities and 45 to 65% of the energy needed by the body is derived from it.
The amazing fact is that the people who used to survive on this diet till the early centuries had extremely low rates of cancer, obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, heart diseases till they shifted to our modern diets. Thus, many scientists and nutritionists feel that Paleolithic diet is a very good tool for fighting against obesity, cancer and many other modern ailments.
The foods included in this diet are generally lean red meat, eggs, fish, fruits, nuts and vegetables. Items like breads, pasta, milk, refined sugars were excluded from this diet. This diet used to vary region and culture wise in different countries.
The specialty of this diet is it is rich in protein, fiber, minerals, iron, vitamins, mono unsaturated fat, omega3 fats, antioxidants and phyto-chemicals. On the other hand the diet contains lower quantity of saturated fats, salts, and enzyme inhibitors.
Experts feel that the Paleolithic diet have many health benefits and since foods taken are mostly natural they have no side effects. Since milk and dairy products are excluded in this diet it is safe to have some calcium to protect from rickets, osteoporosis, etc.
