Nutrition Whey Back In TimeThe basics for a healthy life are the same as they were back in the day. Work your body; eat a diet high in lean protein, fiber and complex carbs but low in refined carbs, salt, and saturated or trans fats. This was as true for ancient hunters as it is for modern commuters.
Comparing the two lifestyles shows some interesting differences:
Back in the day Modern Day
33% protein 12% protein
690 milligrams salt 2-7000 milligrams salt
21 % fat 42 % fat
Lean game eaten by the ancients was about 4.3% fat, with a high percentage being polyunsaturated, while today’s supermarket meat averages around 25-35% saturated fat. Their plant foods had more fiber than ours, and the only sweet things they ate were berries and some honey. Whether men or women, they were not sedentary, but worked hard all day, and took in lots of low fat protein, which resulted in strength, musculature and aerobic fitness. Modern studies conducted in 5 traditional hunting and gathering societies from Africa and Australia found cholesterol ranging from 106 to 139, with normal blood pressure showing no increase with age. Daily life has changed, but maybe daily health needs haven’t.
We were designed for a more rigorous, Spartan life. When that treadmill or those heavy weights feel like a lonely struggle, think of your tribal self carrying around 50 pounds of kids or vegetables, or hauling some large game through miles of hillside brush in the heat of the day, day after day.
Sipping on a protein shake, including our new max muscle, may feel very modern, but it’s healthy nutrients are a link to the balance of the past. Our cold processed proteins contain the lowest sodium levels possible. With the addition of fiber into our Lean and Fit and our Women’s Whey, we can offer an outstanding selection of high quality, low fat or non fat protein to satisfy your appetite; build your strength and muscles; and restore that healthy link to nature that the ancients always had.
