MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - It's almost beach weather and that means time to get in shape!There are several diets that can help lead to a healthier lifestyle.
The Paleo Diet or often deemed, 'Cave Man Diet,' is a nutritional diet that mimics what our early ancestors ate.
"It's basically the concept of staying clear of dairy, grains, and sugar and some of these other inflammatory foods and moving towards lean meats, grass fed meats, vegetables and fruits," said Integrated Wellness President Brandon Turino.
It's a relatively strict regimen that seeks to eliminate all processed food. By doing so, researchers claim your body will quickly begin to reap the benefits. They claim, the diet has been found to have lower rates of cancer and heart disease.
"It allows them to integrate a whole food diet that's much easier,” said Co-Op Produce Employee Zachary Schneider. “It's the way humans evolved to eat. It's a lot easier for us to digest. It's a little bit closer to our original diet as home sapiens."
The premise of the diet, states that human beings all share the same make-up and DNA, indicating there some foods we should and should not be consuming. While this lifestyle shift may be difficult at first, it's better to start slowly and focus on what you can eat instead of the other way around.
Some healthy replacements found at the Marquette Food Co-Op include the Couscous Salad or the Aztec Quinoa Salad. Both of these options fit into the Paleo Diet.
Some other options include a bun-less burger or vegetable pastas. But like every new diet, it will take your body around a month to adjust to any dietary changes.
