This self-published phenomenon explores the habits that kept our ancestors disease-free and presents a prescriptive plan for "The Human Diet" to promote long, healthy lives. Physician and biochemist Cate Shanahan, M.D., investigated diets worldwide that contribute to longevity, such as the Mediterranean and Okinawa diets, identifying four common nutritional habits that consistently produce strong, healthy children and active elders: fresh food, fermented and sprouted foods, meat cooked on the bone, and organ meats. These strategies form the foundation of "The Human Diet." Drawing from her experience as an elite athlete who healed her own injuries with traditional foods, 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 alter our DNA, impacting our health and that of future generations. The book offers a practical plan to adopt The Human Diet, aiming to improve mood, eliminate cravings, boost fertility, enhance cognition, reduce allergies and disease, strengthen bones and joints, and achieve younger, smoother skin. It cuts through the confusion of modern nutritional ideologies, demonstrating how ancestral habits can lead to longer, healthier lives.
