WE ARE SO KEEN ON THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY, BUT WE STILL WANT TO EAT AS A CAVEMAN

Being highly adaptable is a highly requested skill nowadays. Let’s take, for example, covid19. We had to very quickly adapt and accept new versions of lifestyle, work circumstances, and ways of communication. What about technology and driverless cars, which are already a fact in China? We need to adapt and accept again. This evolution is actually bringing us forward and presenting us to a life we couldn’t even imagine a few decades ago. Yet, when it comes to food, we still look back and follow old ways. Today’s popular diets such as keto, paleo, Atkins, and carnivore portray caveman as the perfect example of the ideal diet. Caveman had no idea. He ate staff out of choice, had a short life span, and probably had more diseases than we know. Today we have a choice and knowledge. We can’t live in the past: old ways won’t open new doors. We don’t even use our brains as much as we could. My point here is about food and embracing all the latest information we have about gut health, epigenetics, neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, glycogenesis, sleep hygiene, and more. It’s time to unlearn what we have been taught and be open to science. Another example of a “thing of the past that we still do today” is factory farming, which was a solution and innovation a few decades ago. Still, today we know it’s torture, it’s inhuman and immoral, but even more, it’s making us sick.

We are no longer caveman. We are the future, and our food habits need to be adjusted accordingly.
