One important part of our diets that is usually overlooked is incorporating fermented foods. One look at the word "Fermented" and we think trash can. However, people have been eating fermented foods for countless years and the benefits are obvious. Allowing the bacteria cultures help your gut with digestion. I have been buying the "Real Pickles" brand of fermented foods available at One Earth Food Store. Garlic Kraut (Fermented garlic and cabbage) was really good, and now I am trying fermented beets. Of course you can ferment your own foods, but if you are too short on time, buying them is essential!

Welcome
Follow me as I live out a busy, high school schedule while adhering to a paleo lifestyle!
My version of paleo: grass-fed, pastured, and organic meat sources, wild-caught fish, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, tons of healthy fats (coconut oil, olive oil, flax seed oil, grass-fed butter, etc.), some natural sweeteners (raw honey, cinnamon, grade B maple syrup, etc.), and full fat, grass-fed dairy (all bought local or organic when economical and feasible). Excludes legumes, grains, and processed dairy (though I do have specific types of minimally processed yogurt).
In order to better understand nutrition and athletics, among other related topics, I am doing a research project and will compile my findings into a meaningful, creative presentation.
