Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Natural Human Diet according to Biological and Evolutionary Evidence The foods and influences to which a species is biologically adapted are those deemed " natural " to its disposition as derived by the sum total of their biological heritage from millions of years of evolution. Cumulative adaptations in each species over eons of time determines their natural dietary needs. For instance: The koala bear of Australia is adapted to eating a variety of gum leaves. The giraffe's long neck allows it to feed on the foliage of trees. The lion's fangs and claws allow it to kill and render animals for food. The eagle's keen eyesight and powerful claws make it a formidable predator of ground rodents and small game. Carnivores have become adapted to eating other animals. Non-carnivorous animals have adapted to eating vegetable matter as food. Dietary adaptations more than anything else determine the features and characteristics of all creatures. The whole article is too large to post. But it is posted for the benefit of members at: http://dpcpress.com/desc_vegetarian.html However, in conclusion, our natural diet should consist primarily of fruits, nuts, and green vegetables. We can be called frugivores because many " vegetables " are botanically considered fruits. To enjoy an energetic, youthful, disease-free life, eat a varied diet predominantly of foods you are biologically adapted to: raw fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, and perhaps occasional legumes and tubers. For more on definition and kinds of vegetable, see Dhillon, S.S. " Health, Happiness & Longevity: Eastern and Western Approach " (ISBN: 0870405276).
