noun
Refined carbohydrates stripped of their natural cellular structure, commonly found in processed foods, contributing to inflammation and metabolic disorders.
noun
A long-term inflammatory response that can result from an ongoing immune response, often due to poor diet, stress, or exposure to toxins, leading to various chronic diseases.
noun
A condition where the body becomes less responsive to the hormone leptin, which regulates hunger and energy balance, often linked to obesity and poor diet.
noun
The state of having ideal levels of blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and body weight, all of which are influenced by diet and lifestyle choices.
noun
The normal functions and processes that occur within the body to maintain health, such as digestion, metabolism, and immune responses.

We often accept certain chronic conditions as a natural part of aging in our Western culture-things like diabetes, hypertension, fading memory, low energy, cholesterol issues, and the reliance on medications to manage these symptoms.
But what if I told you this doesn't have to be the norm? The truth is, it's not normal.
The processed foods we eat are often the root cause, fueling chronic inflammation within our bodies. Reducing this inflammation is essential. By choosing the right foods, you can create an environment within your body that encourages healing and regeneration, rather than toxic stress and the breakdown of your body's natural functions.
The way our bodies work-the chemical reactions and processes that happen inside us-are what determine our health and overall quality of life. The foods we choose to eat are deeply intertwined with these physiological functions. Understanding this connection is powerful because it allows us to make better choices for our health, both now and in the future.
Looking back at how our ancestors ate can be incredibly enlightening. They ate directly from the earth, their diets changed with the seasons, and they ate less frequently than we do today. These natural rhythms supported their health and longevity, despite the unpredictability of their food sources. Adopting some of these habits could be a step toward a healthier future for us all.
Contrast that with today's world, where our diets often include processed foods-packaged snacks, sugary drinks, and fast food-that our ancestors wouldn't even recognize. This shift has had serious consequences for public health, especially in societies where processed foods dominate.
Take a look at groups like the Kitavan Islanders or the Ache in Paraguay. These communities don't experience modern diseases like diabetes and heart disease, and their diets are full of natural, unprocessed foods. They rely on carbohydrates from fruits and tubers and fats from fish and coconuts, and as a result, they enjoy better metabolic health than those on a typical Western diet.
What's even more fascinating is that despite eating a similar number of calories, these ancestral populations maintain healthier metabolic profiles. This tells us that it's not just about how much you eat, but what you're eating that really counts. Knowing this is encouraging because it means that by making better choices, we can significantly improve our health.
Unfortunately, when these traditional societies adopt a Western diet, their health declines dramatically. Obesity rates rise, and metabolic diseases become more common. This clearly shows the damaging effects of processed foods and high sugar intake that are typical of Western diets.
Western diets, full of sugar and processed foods, disrupt the body's normal metabolic functions, leading to widespread issues like obesity and diabetes. One example is leptin resistance, where the body stops responding to the hormone that regulates hunger. It's a clear sign that poor diets are driving these health problems.
You cannot out-exercise a poor diet.
Research shows that processed foods, especially those high in acellular carbohydrates, are major contributors to inflammation and metabolic disorders. These foods can distort your body's hunger signals and lead to chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes.
Knowing how much your diet affects your body's functions should be a wake-up call. Returning to whole, unprocessed foods can make a huge difference in your health. The key isn't just in cutting calories-it's in choosing foods that support your metabolism and help prevent chronic diseases.
