Paleo Quick Tip Of The Day

Send us a textI never expected to be writing about such big issues when I started PaleoJay’s Smoothie Cafe.  But, that was quite a while ago- back when health and fitness, in the face of such horrible travesties of the American FDA and the AMA and all the other alphabets soup names of big government had made a mockery of true health and wellness.  Not that that has changed:  Big Government still by and large recommends we consume huge amounts of prescription drugs, eat tons of modified wheat and other GMO grains and foods, and undergo endless invasive, horrifically expensive tests on a regular basis.  We are also propagandized to not eat fat or meat, both of which are not only stupid and ridiculous, but counterproductive in terms of our health.  So, none of that has really changed, except in small, Paleo pockets of health, of which I am a tiny part.  But still, we are voices in a huge, fast food dominated: ‘Let’s sit on our fat asses and watch professional athletes work themselves to death while we watch them

Send us a textOne of the hardest things to come to grips with in the field of health is what is actually true- and what isn’t!  This is obvious if you look at medical and standard nutritional advice concerning fat- the standard advice is that fat is bad bad bad- especially saturated, animal fats!And if you have been following the ancestral or Paleo diet, or even any current research- you know that avoiding saturated fats is a wrong decision.  Good, God-made animal fats like tallow, lard, or butter are wonderful choices to build and protect your health and wellness.  Cholesterol is actually good and necessary, not something to be avoided and to treat as the spawn of the devil.  On the converse side: vegetable oils are awful, fake foodstuffs that will give you migraines, and deprive your body of the true nutrients is needs in order to thrive and be healthy.  Vegetable oils are to be avoided at all costs, and this is very difficult if you are eating out on a regular basis.  Fast foods, Asian cooking, and process

Send us a textReally?  Autoimmune diseases, the scourge of the modern age?  You can help them with baking soda?Yes, it really does appear to be true: taking 1/2 tsp. per day of plain old baking soda, dissolved in water,  activates an anti-inflammatory pathway that is mediated by the neuronal-like function of mesothelial cells that line your internal organs.  Consuming baking soda appears to prime your immune system against inflammation.This is huge- it means this cheap, household item can help improve your immune system so it does not overreact.  This overreaction of the immune system, instigated in the organ of the spleen, is what causes the white blood cells of the body to attack its own organs and cells.  This is what autoimmune diseases are, those diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.  RA attacks the joints, type 1 diabetes the pancreas, lupus attacks multiple parts of the body, and psoriasis attacks the skin.  And so it goes- autoimmune diseases are not only

Send us a textI know that the number one reason given for not exercising is TIME.  This is understandable, since our modern lives have become busy to a fault- it would be much better if we would winnow through the many things we do, like watching television and reading facebook, and make more time to exercise.  It would make us healthier in body and mind!But, for those of you with young children especially, and also those of you with jobs taking up long hours, I know that time is of the essence, and so I have a strong recommendation for you:  Do a full body isometric contraction 3 times in succession, several times per day!That’s it.  Just stand relaxed, hands at your sides.  Then slowly contract every muscle in your body, starting with the calves, and gradually tensing each muscle group in your body, from thighs to butt, to abs to chest to back to shoulders- all just by isometrically tensing each group.  Keep breathing throughout, don’t hold your breath, but tense hard and hold for about 7 seconds.  Relax br

Send us a textOne of the ways in which we have betrayed our genetic heritage, along with abandoning the eating of real, God made foods, is to try to claim allegiance to ‘global’ ideals rather than concentrating on our own tribe.  For human beings evolved as tribal, social animals, just as wolves are pack animals and cattle are herd animals.  Such small, regional, and racially similar groupings are necessary for smooth, healthy functioning of both our local society, and for the health of the individual within that group.  Only in such a fashion are we naturally equipped to maximize both our mental and physical health.Just as big, industrialized processed food has replaced good, pastured meats and vegetables with high fructose corn syrup laden concoctions of unnaturally altered strains of wheat and GMO foods- so too has our natural, native attachment to those of our own genetic type rather than to an artificially big government mandated ‘globalism’.  We are told to erase our borders, to interbreed with other of

Send us a textThe big news in Paleo right now is the Carnivore diet- that is, a diet where you only eat animal products! Holy Beef Sticks, Batman- can that really be good??”The short answer is, yes, it can indeed. As the famous psychologist Jordan Peterson says, after such a diet healed his daughter’s severe arthritis, she convinced him to try it. He was already on a beef and greens diet, which had helped his several conditions immensely, but when she convinced him to eat a totally carnivorous diet- it cured everything, including psoriasis, a loss of 50 pounds of fat, periodontal disease- and even his lifelong depression! And this is from a man who is a really deep and incisive thinker: if you haven’t already, check out some of his myriads of videos on youtube and elsewhere. https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-iba-1&hsimp=yhs-1&hspart=iba&p=john+peterson+on+diet+youtube#id=1&vid=61fbdf057878b64b0cec1945fa94b860&action=clickAnd here is a video by his daughter, who was real

Send us a textThe big trend now, and one I applaud, is to go gluten free! Gluten, which is in all wheat products, is bad, especially since modern wheat has been so modified to be overloaded with the stuff, which has all sorts of bad effects. It can distress your gut lining, and will, if you eat enough- and if you are ‘gluten sensitive’, which most people are these days- it can cause leaky gut.This is where food particles can gain access to your bloodstream, and cause you to get autoimmune diseases- little things like arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, heart disease and cancer, just to name a few… You don’t want leaky gut, and so that alone is a good reason to avoid gluten!BUT- don’t just blithely run through the Gluten Free section of the grocery (which has become very prevalent as of late), grabbing armfuls of gluten free cookies, cakes, and pastries! Because, well- they are still cookies, cakes, and sugar loaded pastries!! They are still highly glycemic, and very, very unhealthy, despite being free

Nothing is further from the truth…a medical doctor of today just means that that person is a member of the biggest, most powerful labor union in history- the American Medical Association. This is a labor union par excellence- it guarantees incredibly high wages for the practitioners in “the Brotherhood” as Malcolm Kendrick calls it, as long as those doctors tow the line, don’t rock the boat, and follow “approved” treatments ONLY- things like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery only for cancer treatment- nothing else can even be considered, or the doctor doing so can be thrown out of the union- in other words -lose their high priced and time consuming right to practice medicine!Your doctor is actually forbidden to recommend common sens

Send us a textDid you know that all of us of European descent are part- Neanderthal? Well, it’s true. It turns out that the homo-sapiens Africanus emigrated from Africa approximately 70,000 years ago. These very warlike people encountered the Neanderthals around 75,000 years ago, and interbred with them. The Neanderthals, far from their modern stereotype of being primitive, warlike, and stupid, were actually quite peaceful, and had larger brains (and hence greater intelligence)! than our homo-sapiens ancestors. They mixed not only with homo-sapiens, but also with another extinct breed of humans, called the Denisovans, who were from the east. The DNA of Neanderthals is mixed in with modern Europeans, and also with East Asians, who have not only Denisovan blood, but also have more Neanderthal DNA than moderns of Europeans descent! Bear with me: there is a point to my ancient wanderings. The first European ebook It appears that homo-sapiens, as they emerged from Africa so long ago, were i

Send us a textAncient paleo tribes, wandering through Europe- they would have never allowed tribespeople from elsewhere- the other- to come and sit about their campfire with them and their tribesmen and women. To take their laboriously hunted meats and fish, their gathered vegetables- they would have fought rather to the death than give up their land and what they had built! For they were the earliest of pioneers- making and taking what they could from the land to survive and thrive- for their own people and tribe.Imagine: you are living many thousands of years ago in just such a tribe. You have a good life, after centuries of hard, hard work and suffering. You have even developed free elections of your own chiefs, to organize you into warrior bands to protect what you have built. Because, although you are a stone-age cave person, you are not stupid.Then, an evil chief from within your land declares himself a “king”. Or a tyrant of any sort, whatever the name. Many suspect he is insane, but he is power
