The Stone Age Caveman Diet

The Prehistoric Man/Modern Day Man Connection - Page Two

Caveman Logic #3 - Water contributes to a healthy inner being.

Fortunately, in the Good Old Cave Days, there wasn't bottled soda, powdered drinks, exotic coffees piled with REAL whipped crème, or even Ovaltine!  Gasp!

Cave people drank pure spring water - and believe me, it wasn't a buck ninety-nine a pop, either. The pure water quenched their thirst well without leaving them feeling a need for 'sweets', which is exactly what most of Modern Day Man's beverages do best (leave you craving sweets).

Caveman Logic #4 - Our bodies were meant to eat more, so that's why obesity abounds in The Modern Day World.

Way back in the days of Stone Age, the Dinosaurs, the Heathen Cavemen, the Cavewomen, and every other living thing worked its fingers to the stone.  One got up working and one went to bed working.  The simplest things that we now enjoy, such as taking a bath were major chores in those days ,especially when the water was frozen over.  It wasn't easy cracking the ice with a Stagasarus' tooth.

Everyone worked so hard that it was a miracle that they had time for reproduction efforts. Thank goodness for the convenience of loin cloths.

Because of continuous activity, more food was eaten.  Food is energy and things in the Good Old Cave Days needed lots of energy to keep working and working and working.

In fact, our bodies were made to eat big eats!  To eat healthy eats!  To eat much different eats than we do in the Days of Modern Man.

And because of that, many people find that they have put on a few unwanted pounds.  It starts with 5 pounds here, 20 pounds there, 50 pounds over here and oh no, let's not forget those 7 packed-on Butt Pounds (3.5 pounds per buttock).

Before those first few pounds heaped up on us, we were probably pretty active - and not only active, but pretty YOUNG and active.  We tend to slow down as we get older and that throws our weight off-balance.

If we lived in the Stone Age rather than The Stoned Age, we wouldn't have that problem - not unless we were the anointed Cave King.  Those dudes didn't have to do anything - not even clip their own toenails.  They even had taste-testers, and woe to the one who sampled the red berries with three green leaves. Though he may not have died, he was left with a viscous mouth rash for at least a fortnight.

Caveman Logic #5 - A nurtured child is a nourished child.

There were no day care centers in The Good Old Stone Age.  Little ones oft times accompanied their parents during their daily journey - such as berry picking, hunting, and searching for wild ostrich eggs.

Because the Cave Kids got a first-hand experience with this interaction of parent and nature, they swiftly became adept in the ways of the old world, thus prompting them to find better, faster, more efficient ways to produce - so there would be more time for things like Rockball and T.V. (training vultures).
