Our ancestors may have had it right.
When it comes to truly nourishing our bodies, especially when it comes to building nutrient stores to support fertility and pregnancy, our ancestors may have been onto something.
To illustrate this, let’s look at the work of Dr. Weston A. Price. He was a dentist that travelled the world in the 1930s to study nutrition and diets of cultures from all around the world.
During his travels, he observed noticeable differences in the health of cultures consuming modern diets versus their traditional diets. Groups eating traditional diets had:
↬Wider facial structure
↬Wider dental arches
↬Virtually no cavities
↬Lower rates of illness
↬Fewer personality disorders
↬More vibrant health overall
He noticed that it didn't take much time to see shifts in generational health once these groups started to stray from their traditional foods. Often it took less than even 1 generation to see changes in their health.
Dr. Price noted a few key commonalities across traditional diets, like that they included:
↪Animal foods
↪4X more minerals and water-soluble vitamins
↪10X more fat-soluble vitamins aka “activators”
↪Properly-prepared foods
↪Generous fats
While our world is obviously very different from the world that our ancestors used to live in, there’s something to be said about the potential benefits of including traditional foods in the diet.
And this can be especially powerful when building nutrient stores for pregnancy.✨
