Our ancestors have discovered it 2.6 million years ago, and it is definitely the oldest diet in the world, but the fact is that it was not known as a diet, but as a lifestyle.
The human being feeding method a million years ago was made according to their needs and abilities to collect food. It was based on vegetables, seeds, fruit, and small animals that were easy to hunt.

Let’s analyze it deeper. The paleo diet, as it is called by the people who adhere it, is very common among the lovers of the technique known as Crossfit, since it allows them to follow their routine of exercises with considerable amounts of protein and every type of essential fatty acids and vitamins.
