The Paleo Diet Guide to Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Anticancer Nutrients
What if the secret to a longer, healthier life weren’t a myth, but a menu? In this guide from The Paleo Diet, our science team explores the family tree of longevity nutrients that can help you live your best years, starting today. Drawing on the book Paleo for Life, this nutrient family tree reveals the relationships between the most potent antiaging nutrients.
- Why are fruits and vegetables so healthy?
- Why are mushrooms and seaweed so trendy in natural foods grocers?
- Why are foods like pork and chocolate connected to longevity.
- What are polyphenols and how do they related to “sirtfoods”?
- What do taurine, astaxanthin, and vitamin K2 have in common?
We explore these questions and more in this guide to:
Antioxidants
See why “eating the rainbow” of fruits and vegetables is good advice, then see how mushrooms, fermented foods, vitamin K2, seafood, and certain spices have powerful antiaging benefits that amplify and complement the protective effects of fresh produce.
Phytonutrients
Much of the health benefits from eating plant foods come from this class of compounds. See how carotenoids, PQQ, and berberine are among the most important antiaging ingredients of fruits and vegetables.
Polyphenols
This huge class of nutrients imparts incredible health benefits including some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory foods known to science.
Mushrooms & Seaweed
These foods are exploding in popularity at natural grocers. Learn about their anticancer and detoxification benefits and you’ll see why.
Fermented Foods
Dr. Cordain connected the dots on fermented and rancid foods—a realization that inspired him to write Paleo for Life and extend The Paleo Diet even farther into the field of healthy longevity. See how vitamin K2, PQQ, and other nutrients from fermentation are key ingredients for supercentenarians.
By understanding how antioxidants, phytonutrients, polyphenols, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer nutrients are related, you can deepen your understanding of the science of healthy nutrition and make every meal count toward better health and longer life.
