The view of our dentist Van Nuys CA is that a healthy body is the most prized commodity after acquiring a ton of money…or so it appears. All of us want to be healthy and live very long lives but we don’t seem to want to have to work hard for this or have to watch what we eat. Many of us wish to actually eat whatever we want and then have a number of pills to set things right. However, it doesn’t work that way. Humans evolved to wander the plains or, at least, the streets. We were not designed for a sedentary lifestyle by sitting on the couch or being tied to a desk. To stay healthy, we should exercise at least 3 times a week for half an hour, and consume a healthy, varied diet. While supplements can help us obtain the necessary vitamins that we might be absent from our diet, they are not a cure-all. Humankind evolved on the diet of berries, roots, vegetables, fish and then meat. The ancient man’s diet was very different from our diet today. There was clearly no McDonalds or Twinkies in those days, which means the primitives were eating a whole lot better than how humans are eating in current times.
