Dr. Al Sears Discusses The Importance Of Paleo In Our Modern World

Online, May 8, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Millions of people are talking about embracing the Paleo Lifestyle and the Paleo Diet and returning back to the hunter-gatherer roots that humans are genetically programmed for. Anti-aging specialist and paleo lifestyle pioneer, Dr. Al Sears, MD, believes that the Paleo movement is a good thing because it moves our diet away from the low-fat, grain based Agrarian diet that is not natural to humans.

"I advocated the Paleo diet 20 years ago before "Paleo" was a buzzword. There is a lot of talk about Paleo right now, and that is a good thing. Paleo is so much healthier.", Dr. Sears said. "I don't want to split hairs about this, but I have a better way of talking about it. Paleo actually focuses on the wrong period in history and the wrong problem. Paleolithic is the old stone age. Neolithic is the new stone age."

Although Dr. Sears advocates the Paleo diet, he makes the point that people do not have to go all the way back to the Paleolithic era for this natural way of eating. The Neolithic era was actually a better time for humans when they developed better tools, became better hunters, and learned to make warmer clothes. This allowed them to teach each other and share ideas. They still followed the same hunter-gatherer lifestyle, but the Neolithic period and lifestyle was actually an advance in how humans lived… So Neolithic is better than Paleo."

"Planting seed crops is what got us into trouble. That only happened a few thousand years ago, and it changed our diet from high protein to a low protein, low fat grain based diet." Dr. Sears explained. "This goes against what our bodies are genetically hardwired for, and this is why we became shorter, lost muscle, and brain size."

Dr. Sears recommends that his patients follow three keys to returning to a natural way of eating that will allow them to drop weight and stay lean and youthful.

1. Eat as much high quality protein as possible. At least one gram for every pound of lean muscle mass.

2. Overeat protein. It sends the metabolic signal to the body that times are good and it is not necessary to store fat.

3. Choose free-range eggs and grass fed beef as the best sources of protein.

"When you cook your meat try not to use high heat or lengthy slow-cooking methods. Overcooking denatures protein, breaks down vitamins, and removes nutrients.", Dr. Sears advised. "I like to eat my steak rare and recommend that my patients do too. That way you can get the most of what is best for you in the beef."
