The Paleo Diet Works Better Than Standard Nutritional Recommendations

The paleo diet has been shown to help several conditions. However, debate still exists regarding if it’s a “healthy” diet and the debate usually emanates from slightly dogmatic traditional nutritional circles. Well good news, very high level science has just confirmed that a paleo type diet works better than traditional dietary advice for metabolic disorders (waist circumference, triglycerides, blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, and fasting blood sugar). Let’s discuss the details.

The Paleo Diet Works Better Than Standard Nutritional Recommendations

Dr. Michael Ruscio: Hi, this is Dr. Ruscio. And a study was recently published that was very interesting. This study was called “A Systematic Review.” And it found that the Paleo Diet worked better than standard nutritional advice for metabolic syndrome.

Now, I’ll put this up on the screen. And I’ll quote, “This study found that the Paleo Diet worked better than standard nutritional advice for waist circumference, triglycerides, blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, and fasting blood sugar.”

Now, why this is so important is this study was, again, called a systematic review. And this means it’s a summary of other studies. So this study summarized the results of four other clinical trials. And they found that the Paleo Diet was consistently more effective than your traditional dietary advice.

Why this is important is because, as we’re learning more about diet, we’re learning that while all diets can be effective, some diets are better than others. Or to put it another way, of all the healthy diets, there may be one type of diet that’s the healthiest. And this suggests that the healthiest diet for metabolic syndrome may be a Paleo-type diet.

So this is very great information. If you or someone you love is looking for a dietary recommendation and you’ve thought about the Paleo Diet, we have some great scientific documentation showing how helpful the Paleo Diet can be.

The Paleo Diet is essentially a diet that cuts out grains, dairy, and processed foods and focuses on predominantly vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, and healthy cuts of meat and eggs.

So it’s a very natural diet. Often, it’s said if you couldn’t hunt it, gather it, fish it, or forage it, you don’t eat it. So it’s a very natural-type diet.

And as the research is showing, it tends to work very well for metabolic syndrome, among other things.

So this is Dr. Ruscio. And I hope this information helps you get healthy and get back to your life. Thanks!
