GRONINGEN - primeval nutrition from the Stone Age may, translated into the 21st century, an important contribution to healthy aging.
The human DNA is in a way tailored to the food that was available in antiquity. It consisted of more protein and omega-3 fatty acids and less carbohydrate and linoleic acid.
That says researcher Remko Kuipers of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) in a study in which he was 26 March at the University of Groningen PhD.
Kuipers studied where our ancestors lived, made a reconstruction of their diet and examined the power of traditional East African peoples living in the present day.
This tends to show him that typical western diseases such as cardiovascular disease and depression associated with a deficiency of fatty acids, nutrients that in antiquity were plentiful in the food.
Arrow Speed
'' Our diet has changed in 10,000 years plummeting. But our genes, which are based on the hunter / gatherer in the Stone,'' said Kuipers. '' Evolutionary is not justified. It leads to more people faster sick.''
Kuipers further concludes that the primeval nutrition contained less linoleic acid than today. Linoleic acid was the prevailing attitudes following a protective effect on the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. According to Kuipers that's not.
He states that recent studies show that the correct recommended replacement of saturated fatty acids by linoleic acid in the west to an increase rather than a decrease in cardiovascular disease has resulted.
Quick carbohydrates
Also known as fast carbohydrates (sugars in soft drinks and candy) as a replacement for saturated fat increase the risk of just heart disease, says Kuipers. These findings are in line with how our primeval nutrition it once was.
According to Kuipers is the solution to eliminate carbohydrates from food. '' We were beaten by the use of carbohydrates as rice, bread, potatoes and pasta. I would all like to omit and replace it with vegetables and fruits, supplemented with fish and meat
