Tuesday, October 20th, 2009I have come across this question many times when talking to others about Paleo. Since tossing all dairy aside – this seems like a reasonable question, right? Here’s the deal: Our country has the highest intake of calcium in the world, yet we also have one of the highest rates of osteoporosis. Hmmm??? Doesn’t add [...]

Why Grass-Fed Beef?
Friday, July 17th, 2009As a follow-up to Cara’s post, I thought I’d share some info on grass-fed beef and why it is that we should be consuming this pricey meat. It seems to be all the buzz now, this grass-fed talk. Back in the day, farmers only fed their cattle grass. But around the Post-WWII era this changed. [...]
Paleo Rice?
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009Not quite…but close enough. I found this great side dish recipe off of the site Maureen provided us with (http://cavemanfood.blogspot.com) CAULIFLOWER RICE serves 2 ingredients: 1/2 head of cauliflower, grated reserved pesto marinade 1/4 cup chicken stock extra virgin olive oil Heat 1-2 T of olive oil in a large pan and start to saute [...]
Kids and their eating…..The Future of Health.
Saturday, July 4th, 2009I had just heard on a talk radio station [96.9 WTKK] that adults in Massachusetts rank 5th best overall in ranking all 50 states in terms of their obesity. Meaning that only 4 other states are less fat than we are. Pretty good job I thought. Obesity in this instance is calculated by BMI [Body [...]

Sunday, June 28th, 2009This may be right in line with our Paleo Challenge! Some of you may have heard of this movie, which premiered June 12th, called FOOD, INC. This is a disturbing portrait of how the food we eat in America has become deceptively prefabricated. Word has it that this documentary by Robert Kenner is raw and [...]
Easy Paleo Snack
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009One of my favorites: ~ Granny Smith apple (low glycemic index, high water content and sweet) ~ 2 tbsp. nut butter (almond, cashew, etc.; NO peanut) ~ 2 slices of turkey (deli counter, I ask for the “real” turkey, like thanksgiving turkey, not deli meat turkey) Keep a jar of nut butter at your desk [...]
I am not a doctor; however, Omega 3′s…..
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Are a great addition to your eating regimen! Everyone should be incorporating omega 3′s into their DAILY eating. Here’s why: Omega 3′s are essential fatty acids that decrease blood pressure, help with inflammation and keep your cholesterol levels in check (low!). They also promote muscle recovery and essentially make your cells more permeable, so when [...]
