Tonight I thought I'd do a post about some tangible health benefits I've seen on the Paleo diet. Just after a week of eating this way, I've noticed three. First off, I have more energy and a longer attention span at work (provided I'm not googling Paleo recipes, haha). Second, the cold I caught a couple days ago is almost completely gone, which is a miracle for me because colds usually last at least 2 weeks for me if not more. I was having bad sinus pain and a sore throat and everything, but now I feel fine! And last but not least, my skin isn't dry anymore! I have always had skin problems, especially when the weather got cold, but now that problem is pretty much nonexistent.
It must be all the healthy fats I'm eating. I've also been adding homemade chicken stock/bone broth to whatever sauce I'm making for my meat entrees. I even put it in my chili. Supposedly that stuff has lots of minerals in it that we just don't get in our everyday food anymore. It also could probably double in use as a good car wax or hair gel, since I've discovered the gelatin in it will dry and harden to an indelible waxy coating on your kitchen counter top and floors if you you accidentally spill some.
Anyway, these changes are pretty cool, so I can't wait to see what will happen in the next 3 weeks!
