If you have any semblance of a scientific or rational mind, then it will be a logical step for you to realize that all Life on Earth evolved to eat the plants that are plentiful on this planet.

Dr. Oz finally took the time to explore the original and most natural diets which he is coining the Prehistoric Diet. I think that it might be more accurate to call it the Historic Diet.

Dr. Oz and the Prehistoric Diet

The funny part of the show today was the short experiment where Dr. Oz put three women into a small enclosure in the Zoo. There these human animals were held captive in order to control their food intake, since humans are known to cheat and lie and go to desperate measures for processed foods. They basically camped out with the other animals at the Zoo for a few days, so that Dr. Oz could get some idea of how their numbers changed when they ate that Prehistoric Diet.

Let’s say that it was a good idea to contain the ladies in a cage. One person even tried to bribe visitors to the Zoo to bring her forbidden food! The only salt came from an olive in brine. The rest of their diet was composed of what the healthy zoo critters eat daily: fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, seeds, and nuts.

The women spent more time worrying about being hungry than they did nibbling their food to find the nourishment and enjoyment in the experience. They had restless sleep and made for frequent bathroom visits. But when the doctor saw the difference in their stats, he realized that there is NO PILL that could change the status of these women in such a short time…if at all. So Dr. Oz was impressed with his little experiment.

The women appeared on the show and were introduced to some sophisticated plant-based whole foods that could provide what they needed to sustain their progress. A vegetable and bean chili with greens; a nori roll with vegetables; and a green smoothie with seeds, fresh fruit, and almond milk. Rice milk, coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk is substituted for dairy. Thank Goodness! They tasted it all and agreed that it was in fact…sustainable.

Look…it is not hard to eat Raw Foods, Whole Foods, and Plant-Based Foods. It simply takes some effort, time, and imagination to learn some new recipes and methods of food preparation. The women all felt good enough to be able to justify making that effort from now on…

Now, I would caution you not to be so stupid as to stick a wooden spoon in a blender that has been turned on! That was really horrifying. Just take a moment to turn off the blender, take off the lid, scrape down the sides of the contents in the blender, then turn it back on until all of the ingredients are suitably blended into a smooth smoothie. Duh! And that woman wrote a book… She needs a few pointers in the kitchen. She did not tuck in the ends of the nori roll to keep the contents from falling out, nor did she wet the edge of the nori to seal it. But all of that comes with experience!

This is one episode of Dr. Oz that you can sink your teeth into and learn how to be well…

He also managed to share some good information about Buckwheat Pillows. If you are looking for the best ones on the market, they are made by Bucky who also markets the sleep mask that I personally designed.
