Be a good nutrition role model for your child and give them an early head start on eating healthy. If you like to munch on raw vegetables, your child will do the same. If you snack with a candy bar, your child learns that candy is good eating. Offer only healthy choices when it’s time for a snack.

Nutrition is a science with some objective elements. But there is also a subjective aspect to nutrition. While studying nutrition, you need to be mindful of your individual needs as well as rules that apply generally. For instance, a person with celiac disease needs to avoid certain grains, while these grains may be fine for other people.

You should never skip meals because you get low blood sugar and sometimes lightheaded. If you skip meals it could lead to overeating which you don’t want to do. You should always eat breakfast because it is proven that you are more likely to be overweight if you don’t eat in the morning.

Skip the salt for boiling water. Adding salt to the water may increase its boiling time, but it will also add unnecessary sodium to your pasta, rice, or whatever else you were boiling.

1.What is your opinion on all of the new eating/ dieting trends?

Dr. Cordain: I’m not sure I know what all of the new eating/dieting trends are.  My expertise is in ancestra/evolutionary human nutrition

Dr. Cordain: Raw plant foods typically, but not always contain higher micronutrients concentrations.  Raw meat and fish may contain bacterial contamination.

3. What are the advantages/disadvantages to the Paleo diet?

Dr. Cordain: It is the world’s healthiest diet because it contains a greater micronutrient density than the USDA My Plate Diet, the Meditteranean Diet, vegan and vegetarian diets among others.  Further its high protein and low glycemic load have been demonstrated in large clinical trials (The DIOGENES Study) to be the most effective dietary characteristics to get weight off and keep it off.  It is also high in fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, fruits and vegetables and therefore is net base yielding.  It contains no processed foods, salt, refined sugars or refined vegetable oils and is low in antinutrients found in cereal grains and legumes.
