This self-published phenomenon explores ancestral habits that promoted health and longevity, offering a prescriptive plan for "The Human Diet" to enhance our lives. Physician and biochemist Cate Shanahan, M.D., studied diets from regions known for longevity, such as the Mediterranean and Okinawa, identifying four key nutritional habits that consistently yield strong, healthy children and vibrant elders. These strategies include fresh food, fermented and sprouted foods, meat cooked on the bone, and organ meats, which together form the foundation of "The Human Diet." Drawing from her experience as an elite athlete who used traditional foods to heal injuries, Dr. Cate combines her research with insights from epigenetics, emphasizing that not all calories are equal; food serves as information that influences cellular growth. Our dietary choices can modify our DNA, impacting our health and that of future generations. The book presents a plan for adopting "The Human Diet" to improve mood, eliminate cravings, enhance fertility, sharpen cognition, reduce allergies and diseases, strengthen bones and joints, and achieve healthier skin. It cuts through modern nutritional confusion, illustrating how ancestral habits can lead to longer, healthier lives.
