Eat Like A Caveman With The Paleo Diet
Cool Infographics: Charts and graphs can communicate data; infographics turn data into information.
The Paleo Diet infographic from DrVita.com shows readers what it would take to eat like a caveman!
For those of you who keep asking yourself, “is there a diet that is right for me?” There are hundreds of diets to pick and choose from. One popular diet is Paleo. Below is Paleo in a nutshell.
The paleo diet, sometimes referred to the caveman diet is based on the diet of ancient humans. Getting nutrients from vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, meats, and fish, this diet helps you achieve a healthy and nutritious diet. This infographic helps you understand why the paelo diet is healthy, what foods to eat and avoid, and how it works. Give it a try and see if this diet is right for you.
The design is a good, short explanation of the Paleo Diet, and what it would take eat only natural foods like our ancestors. Intuitively it makes sense, since processed foods and grains are a relatively recent discovery in the history of mankind.
Mostly just a visual explanation, there are a couple statistics included that would have have been better if they had been represented as data visualizations. The footer should include both a copyright statement and the URL directly to the original, full-size infographic so readers can find the high-resolution version.

Its not just diet though, get your lard laden arses out onto the veldt and chase a prarie dog for twenty miles or until one of you drops down exhausted. It should be him, he cant sweat, but my bet is it will be you. Then you will benefit from the all round paleo diet not just the cute bits.
I don’t think cave men went out and ran marathons or exercised for fun. More than likely they laid around conserving energy until they ran out of snacks from a previous kill. When lack of food and/or hunger set in, the desire to hunt must have been compelling. Then perhaps extreme exertion coupled with low calorie intake would result from the imperative to survive. This would result in a lean individual. Not sure how long they would survive at this rate. Perhaps if other threats were absent, sanitation were good, and nutritional supplements were present to counteract the low caloric/low nutrition times, perhaps they would have led long, healthy lives.
They sure had a few things going for them: Lack of industrial and agricultural chemicals in the environment, pristine air, water, and soil and lack of modern stressors.
