The Paleo Diet

26 Sep, 2014

Origins and evolution of the Western diet: health implications for the 21st century

The presentation will cover:

The seven crucial nutritional characteristics of ancestral hominin diets: glycemic load, fatty acid composition, macronutrient composition, micronutrient density, acid/base balance, sodium/potassium ratio and fibre content.
How these have changed with food processing procedures introduced since the Neolithic era. 
The so-called diseases of civilisation and the many underlying factors, including diet, environmental agents and genetic susceptibility.
