Added Benefits
Many people on the Paleo diet report notable benefits like weight loss. This benefit can be traced to the fewer calories eaten and limited food choices a person has on the Paleo diet compared to other diets.
Some research studies have also reported improved metabolic and cardiovascular health. However, more studies are required to back these claims.
The diet has also been linked to a healthy and prolonged life. According to a Harvard University study conducted by the School of Public Health, 75% of America’s sodium intake is derived from processed foods. The study also found that 47% of people who cook 5 or more times weekly increase their life expectancy by ten or more years longer than average compared to their counterparts who consume more processed foods. Since the Paleo diet avoids processed foods, salt, and refined sugar, participants are bound to live longer and healthier.
