In the middle of the last century, it became clear that there was a major problem with the health of the Western world. Science was puzzled by the problem: despite apparent progress, dangerous diseases appeared in our world that were rare or unknown just a few decades earlier. In SZENDI GÁBOR's latest book, the connections between Western civilization and certain diseases unfold chapter by chapter. These problems seem so ancient that we tend to believe they have always been with us, and that they are not new developments in the history of humanity. However, by investigating their roots, we almost always find that their history did not begin that long ago. Research on Paleolithic nutrition and the innovative insights of evolutionary medicine completely reshape our image of humans: their entirely new disease theory makes Western civilization diseases understandable and successfully treatable. Relying on these scientific results, Szendi Gábor claims that since nutrition is a key factor in the emergence of diseases, the paleolithic diet can prove extremely effective in their treatment. Paleolithic nutrition is not the elixir of life and not the philosopher's stone. However, unlike other trendy diet trends - the criticism of which is also included in this volume - it is not a murky prophecy but rather the scientifically based, rediscovered diet and lifestyle of mankind.
