The diets of healthy primitive and non-industrialized peoples contain <strong>no refined or denatured foods<\/strong> such as refined sugar or corn syrup; white flour; canned foods; pasteurized, homogenized, skim or low-fat milk; refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils; protein powders; artificial vitamins or toxic additives and colorings.<\/p>\n<p>2. All traditional cultures consume some sort of <strong>animal protein and fat<\/strong> from fish and other seafood; water and land fowl; land animals; eggs; milk and milk products; reptiles; and insects.<\/p>\n<p>3. Primitive diets contain at least four times the <strong>calcium and other minerals<\/strong> and TEN times the <strong>fat soluble vitamins<\/strong> from animal fats (vitamin A, vitamin D and the Price Factor (now believed to be vitamin K<sub>2<\/sub>) as the average American diet.<\/p>\n<p>4. In all traditional cultures, some <strong>animal products are eaten raw<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>5. Primitive and traditional diets have a <strong>high food-enzyme content<\/strong> from raw dairy products, raw meat and fish; raw honey; tropical fruits; cold-pressed oils; wine and unpasteurized beer; and naturally preserved, lacto-fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages, meats and condiments.<\/p>\n<p>6. Seeds, grains and nuts are soaked, sprouted, fermented or naturally leavened in order to <strong>neutralize naturally occurring anti-nutrients<\/strong> in these foods, such as phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors, tannins and complex carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<p>7. Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30% to 80% but only about 4% of calories come from polyunsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, pulses, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of <strong>saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>8. Traditional diets contain <strong>nearly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>9. All primitive diets contain some <strong>salt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>10. Traditional cultures consume animal bones, usually in the form of<strong> gelatin-rich bone broths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>11. Traditional cultures make <strong>provisions for the health of future generations<\/strong> by providing special nutrient-rich foods for parents-to-be, pregnant women and growing children; by proper spacing of children; and by teaching the principles of right diet to the young.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
