HELLO and HI!

For those of you who are reading this, you may be asking yourself, what is hunt.gather.nourish? Essentially, it is eating real food in the form of lean meats and seafoods, fruits and veggies, and good fats, as our ancestors did 500 generations ago. Below is a comparison of how the old can be functional today.
HUNT.
OLD: cavemen hunted for game and ate it in the freshest form because the animals lived off the same land.
NEW: buy grass-fed meats and wild-caught seafood. Utilize local farms and fishing distributors, it will guarantee the freshest protein.
** Industrialization has affected meat and seafood production. Buying farm-raised fish means the fish has lost the nutritional content you need. The same goes for meats raised on industrial farms.
GATHER.
OLD: seasonal fruits and veggies were the only option and the access to produce from different lands could not be fathomed by cavemen.
NEW: buy produce domesically and buy organic. Organic is grown in non-pesticide soil that retains the natural bacterias and minerals that give us the nutrients we need. And the more local the produce, the fresher. Also, eat seasonally.
NOURISH: Old and New:
Eat well.
Be well.
Eat the best. Your body is a temple and should be cared for!
Mimicking the "old" with the "new" in Western diet-land is achievable. It is about creating a qualitative approach to food, rather than quantitative.
Now, you may be wondering where the grains are? It did not quite fit into the 3 categories. Watch this and see why!
