Greetings from the Deep South, where it FINALLY feels like Fall. We do have a few trees with brilliant leaves scattered amongst the pine and oak. Now that Fall has arrived so has flu season. With that comes the need to pay a little more attention to our immune system, which can be greatly enhanced by our diet.

Here's the latest article from the Native American site at BellaOnline.com.

Eating as our Ancestors – The Paleo Diet
The Paleo Diet, eating as our Ancestors did, has been around for awhile. Its popularity has grown, and this “Old Way” is being reconsidered.

While some might think this just another "Fad," there are many of American Indian ancestry who have greatly benefited from eating the Old Way. There is some science to this ethnic/diet connection too. Getting back to natural and away from processed foods and particularly sugar can also assist our immune systems and keep us healthy during the changing seasons.
