Primal Body, Primal Mind

This book offers sustainable diet strategies to curb sugar cravings, promote fat burning, and enhance overall well-being. It explains how our modern diet leads to weight gain and “diseases of civilization,” such as cancer, osteoporosis, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and ADD. The book also delves into the impact of diet on the brain, hormone balance, and aging, with a special focus on the crucial role of vitamin D in cancer prevention.

Author Nora Gedgaudas examines the healthy lives of our pre-agricultural Paleolithic ancestors and the decline in stature, bone density, and dental health after the agricultural lifestyle. She argues that our modern grain- and carbohydrate-heavy low-fat diets are not suitable for our genetic makeup and can cause lifelong health problems.
