i came across something interesting from course i am taking and would like to shear it . When we are the word evolution the first thing come to mind is the origin of humans, primitive and modern people as well as where we as a specie came from to we we are today.we rarely think about our diet and how it has evolved from then till now or how this modern diet influence our life style and our health. if we really look at what the pre-historic people had in their diet and compare it to what we are eating today we will realize that their diet made better sense health wise than ours. for example, look at eating meat. though the original diet of our earliest ancestors were fruits and vegetables. the moment they evolved to bipedalism and started walking upright meat became important as this was the only source that would provide the energy needed to fuel he body during this time. therefore they were consuming a lot of meat. this then would seems that meat eating is not such a bad idea. the difference between eating meat then and consuming large amount of meat now is that the animals were not domesticated and even in the early agricultural era this was still done in an organic manner.the animals were herd together but were feed with just grass. therefore this was all lean meat.
If we should also take a look at evolutionary medicine we would realize that this means the study and treatment of, the causes, distribution and cultural correlation of diseases within a framework of evolution by natural selection. if we couple that ideology with holistic medicine the when one gets ill we would address the origin and cause of the problem as well as treating the illness it self. In modern medicine however for the most part it seems we only treat the symptoms in that we get ill, the illness is diagnose symptoms treated if the cause is not address we get the same illness again. however i said all that to say. most off the ailments and illness we suffer from today as to do with how our diet has evolved to modernity and we try to adopt to our environment but not all of this is successful without problems. this result in illnesses which are associated with overpopulation and living in large group as well as spending most of our lives in one place. the pre-history people did not have these issues as they were nomadic for the most part and their diet were closer to what were intended for our specie. example people form country less populated and less modernized and more organic diet have less incident of illnesses such as coronary heart diseases, emphysema, ashma,intestinal problems, hypertension, cancers such as lung,Colan,prostrate and breast, stress and chronic fatigue.
