The Unfit Diet

The observations verify the information that hunter gatherers often have dismal achievement as hunters when roaming around the jungle. The cliché' we modernists are trapped in that wandering out into the forests and there are animals everywhere to be pounced upon them and be eaten lavishly is merely a presumption. It was difficult for our ancestors to prey who then lacked bows and arrows except the Arctic, Inuit people and other groups were the only to meet their caloric needs through seals and fish. Researches have so far calculated that our ancestors had developed the habit of meat-eating by poaching and by foraging.
Our behavior towards meat changed 10,000 years ago when man started domesticating animals along with farming which allowed us to taste grains and barley along with meat incurred through kept animals. Now dining had the meat in reception which had respectively lowered its nutritious value when it was no more raw and carbohydrates to breed our bellies out. Harvard primatologist, Richard Wrangham says the biggest revolution came when we learned to cook things and cooking things started sometime between 1.8 million and 400,000 years and further building his narrative claims that pounding and heating food predigests it, so the guts spend less energy breaking it down, this is how you could not stop eating because the food is already digested before it reaches the stomach, but if it were raw, it could not have been eaten in a larger quantity and the humans would not have developed the civilized diseases like obesity and diabetes which are the upshots of in taking such an unfit diet.
The revival of meat-eating developed since the inception of industrialization which gave people a mass productivity of meat by farming cattle’s adopting the mechanical methods enabling us to consume more meat, once a blessing. Introduction of fast food chains made it even easier for the neo-human to have it anytime they crave and anywhere in the globe they want. The question is; are we meeting our demands to stay healthier? The answer is not satisfactory to the audience. Renaissance of meat eating in substantive manner sprang up even more during the First and Second World Wars when the men were compelled to vacate their homes leaving the women and children behind in the cities for an indefinite period of time. You had now the marooned cities once considered famous for their traditional family dinners now being replaced with Takeaways. To quote an example, Trawler-Fishing led to the world famous British "Fish and Chips" and a bit earlier, following the First World War, the Idea of automobile industry introduced the "Drive in" restaurants so as the franchising of outlets in 1921. Fast food which was then a suburban commodity now had moved to the urban developments of Europe. But the homes in urban cities with incommodious nature lacked the space in homes for cooking meals, so the industry men thought to avoid the fire which could swallow up the entire neighborhood of the new industrial developments built in close proximity. Succeeding the ancient trait, women of war-men thought to forage the food from nearby Fast Food stalls than spending their time in kitchens. Do you think the food which was cheap, quick and most interestingly meat-based would provide us the same amount of protein and calorie that our ancestors used to enjoy; the idea is somewhat objectionable. The then Fast Food growing industry lasting for more than a century prevailed and even becoming more fashionable up to now among every class of society has no doubt adequately addressed the need of growing population by supplying enough meat to the world market, but the problem is still hovering that how it is obtained. It has gotten through the means which are even more inhumane than any of your agro-based meals are acquired, the animals mainly the cows and sheep which are too week to stand are subjected kicking, shocking with electricity and lifting them up using the heavy machinery to stand them long enough for the authorities to authenticate their slaughter. Therewithal, the animals are injected with artificial hormones to speed up their growth because of their disputed natural locomotion. The danger is not yet over. It is later cut and packaged sometimes with inexperience hands to let the manure gets mixed on occasion which leads to food poisoning. Food Contact Paper Packaging to avoid grease from leaking is another contribution of getting diseased. And to a shock, a cross sectional data study from more than 10,000 adolescents in 32 countries suggest that fast food associated with suicide attempts too.
I know these back to back shocks must be leaving an impact on the reader's side. So not just to show you the darker domain, the Fast Food Suppliers have been introducing health-friendly items and a number of choices to beat the insistent criticism. State level policies through out the world has forced the entrepreneur to curb the advertisements and put healthy choices for the consumers. The veg-burgers, juices and many more healthier items and beverages are now an addition to optimize the menu. In 1992, Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to KFC to avoid the word fried.
A stone age diet is the one and only diet that fits our genetic makeup; the Paleo diet reads that eat plenty of lean meat and fish but not dairy products like cereals introduced after the enlightenment of cooking and agriculture. But, we must acknowledge and be humble to the modern man whose eating behavior has so much evolved by the time to a point that he cannot simply abandon the available variety in the market and become an uncontested tribesman. We have no choice but to eat the agro-based, dairy based and meat-based cuisine, so the resolution is not to leave but to create the balance in our diet. Let’s be simple and scientific for a while, starting from the king of all spices, salt, which is there in every ready meal you consume in the form of cheese, snacks etc. The recommended level is less than 5g per day, so when in market, choose the products with the lower sodium, and in the kitchens, add less amount of salt while cooking to avoid the common problem associated with it, blood pressure. To further create the balance reduce fats in your diets by steaming and boiling instead of frying things. Baking products are also on the same card reading biscuits, rusks and pies that contain trans-fat which are the main source of getting unhealthy. Do add starchy foods in your diet as to meet your crave but to a point and with a bit caution, such as brown rice and high fiber white bread, because browns contain more vitamins and minerals than the whites. Our meals are never done without taking sugars so fruits are the best source of fiber and vitamin.
Anyway, the subject is not to showcase a thorough diet-plan from your breakfasts to dinners but to call your conscious to hold and look around and be specific in terms of your choices and eating habits which has been victimizing the generations and the generations to come. The studies suggest that the uncontested people of Tanzania, the Hadza people, Tsimane and Inuit are not prone to any of your common diseases as they have never been to the practice of ultra modern cookery of processing the food. Researchers are still cleaning the dust to know more about the ancient diets before these tribes extinct or meet the so called refinement of modern age. Although, this before mentioned information has so far been gathered from the nomads of tribal societies which are the droplets of life and can easily be understood that processed foods are the invites to early deaths and ailments.
