I wanted to reiterate this critical point from my 48-wellness program…

“Why does one person thrive on tomato salads and another breaks out in a rash? Why does one person thrive on raw food and another turn into an emaciated skeleton? Why does one person do fine with dairy and another is running for the toilet?”

“It has a lot to do with our ancestors.

“Now, I’m not talking cavemen ancestors, here. We don’t need to go that far back. I’m talking about your family tree from the day Jesus was born until the 1800s – more or less.” (Future Health Now, Module 1, page 2)

Let me interrupt for second and add that a lot of global dietary changes took place with the discovery of the New World.

It may amaze some people to know that an Irishman never saw a potato until at least 1536 (according to The History of the Potato by England’s Potato Council Ltd.).

So while Europeans may have had enough time to adapt to tubers, they are more natural to South Americans’ digestive systems (whom have been eating them for 6,000 years).

Continuing…

“Before passenger ships and airplanes, it was uncommon for most people to move any great distance from the place they were born. Back in the Middle Ages the average peasant (who never lived that long anyway) rarely traveled more than 30 miles from where they were born according to some historians.

“For thousands of years your ancestors – save for a few adventurers – were living in the exact same place on the planet. They adapted to what their environment offered and didn’t offer. This is really important for you if you are eating foods that are different than what your ancestors were eating. ” (Future Health Now, Module 1, page 2)

I really think this is a key point to remember whenever you are trying to make a decision about what is good for you. Oftentimes what you THINK is good for you doesn’t FEEL right – and this may partly why.

It also explains why there is so much contradictory dietary advice out there.

Your own GRANDMOTHER may better know what’s good for YOU than some super-educated nutrition guru.

So, if you haven’t already, follow the instructions given in module 1 of Future Health Now! and try to determine what type of foods your ancestors ate. Then see if adopting a similar diet makes you feel better.
