Walk the Talk: Paleo Lifestyle

Walk the Talk: Paleo Lifestyle is a recurring post that comes on Mondays. A paleo lifestyle goes beyond the basic diet of avoiding grains and sugars. A paleo lifestyle means looking back to our ancestors: moving and living the way they did, as much as possible in this modern world. There are lots of scientific articles out there debunking some popular beliefs on medicine, exercise, and general health, and they are worth a read.
