"Everyday Foods Humans Are Biologically Unsuited to Consume"

 "Everyday Foods Humans Are Biologically Unsuited to Consume"

We stopped eating this thing 10,000 years ago, which was a big mistake and is taking our lives

at a young age. It is hollowing us from inside. So according to the data of World Health

Organization of 2023, every year 2.7 crore people die in today's date.

Overall 67% deaths are due to cancer and heart diseases. What is the leading cause of death in

our world? Not guns or tanks, not wars or famines. It's heart disease.

New research finds that cancer cases are rising globally, especially among the young. We know

this, right? But what I am sure you don't know is that shockingly, a few thousand years ago, in

the early stone ages, cancers and heart diseases were very common. Yes, today's common

diseases were extremely rare at that time.

70% deaths are not the reason for it today. Now, this is an eye-opening discovery, because

multiple researchers and experts are revealing that our wild hunter-gatherer ancestors were

living healthier and happier lives than today's modern humans. Now just let that sink in for a

while.

And yes, this is not a story, but we have plenty of evidence for it, which I will share with you in a

few moments. This is the bitter truth of today that due to increasing modernity, we are lost

somewhere today, in response to which our body is giving us hundreds of new diseases. Some

scientists have to say that we made a big mistake in history.

We made a big discovery that changed the fate of humans. But at that time, we did not realize

that this was not an invention of modernity, but the biggest blunder in human history. You

know, in the last 200 years, there have been almost 70 major epidemics and outbreaks that

have killed millions.

We made the same mistake behind all these events. Now, when I tell you about that blunder,

you won't even believe it yourself, because it doesn't seem like a mistake. So, what was that big

mistake? Why is this scientist calling it the biggest blunder? And what is it that we stopped

eating, which is causing 70% diseases today? Well, let's go on a very interesting journey of

human history, because we will find buried there all the secrets of truth.

20 lakh years ago, a day when our ancestors learned to walk for the first time, this was a new

generation that could stand upright. That's why she grew tall, and was also learning to use

weapons with her well-developed hands and brain. The name of our ancestors was Homo

Erectus, who are believed to be the first capable hunters.

But just like no player learns from the stomach, the seed of this skill was also planted by the

fathers and great-grandfathers of Homo Erectus. Homo Erectus evolved from the Homo

Ergaster generation, which was the first generation to learn to hunt in groups. They were not as

capable as Erectus, and sometimes they were able to hunt, but their efforts were continuing to

improve.

They had already learned to make some small weapons from their father, Homo Hebilus, who

was the first living being of our ancestors in history, who had learned to make weapons 26 lakh

years ago. In fact, Homo Hebilus had also learned the art of using fire for the first time in

history. And so there was a lot of pressure on the shoulders of Homo Erectus to advance his

capable generation and give a better future to his descendants.

Now, how can a better future be created with the knowledge of these weapons, the art of using

fire, and the ability to hunt? Especially when due to the Ice Ages, the environment was like an

open grassland everywhere. Now, before these, our very old ancestors, even before Homo

Hebilus and Ergaster, Sahelanthropus, Chandensis, Ardipithecus ramidus, Australopithecus

afarensis, etc. In their time, there were still dense jungles, and so they were mostly vegetarians,

who majorly ate roots, fruits, vegetables, and pulps.

And most of the nuts and seeds in hard foods, they very rarely ate non-vegetarian food, that

too by catching other animals' offspring or small animals, insects, etc. Only when needed. And

the time for that need had come.

As soon as grasslands were born, because the field was getting cleaner, trees, plants, fruits,

vegetables disappeared, but other animals began to be clearly visible from a distance. In such

fields, hunting weak animals from a distance was the only option left for Homo Erectus.

Because, according to Optimal Foraging Theory, in such vast grasslands, finding and eating

plants and vegetables from far away, consumes more energy, and in return, you don't get

much calories.

It used to be counted as a quarter of a vegetable, a quarter of a spice. But if you hunted a big

animal, you would get full-stomach calories, plus the calories of this non-vegetarian food were

also nutritious, protein and vitamin-dense. And because they were cooked in fire, it became

easier to digest them.

And that's why, naturally, Homo Erectus, in groups of 8 to 10 people, with their sharp-edged

weapons, started chasing and hunting the animals. And we have a lot of evidence that until the

era of Homo Erectus, humans, who used to be occasional meat-eaters, had become hardcore

meat-eaters. So, till now, we have understood that the natural diet of ancient humans used to

consist of vegetables, fruits, tubers, roots, and occasional meat.

But now, we have become hardcore meat-eaters. And that's why, there were changes in our

bodies as well. Some very interesting changes.

But before understanding the changes, if you talk about the strikingly contrasting modern-day

humans, then I have noticed a habit of us Indians that we don't take our body's health and

macronutrient requirement seriously. I mean, ICMR recommends that we should consume 1

gram of protein per kilogram of our body weight. And even in that, if you work out regularly,

then you have to consume 1.8 grams to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

But if you look at India's average protein consumption, then it is extremely low. And in our daily

diet, it is not possible to meet our protein goals And that's why, you can take some good

protein supplements, like Muscle Blaze Biozyme Whey Protein's daily 1-2 scoops, which will help

you reach your protein mark. Muscle Blaze is the only Asian brand which is regularly tested

internationally.

There are many international independent labs which are certified by USA's Informed Protein.

Muscle Blaze Whey is a cow-based milk protein powder which is available in many variants, like

Biozyme Performance Whey, Biozyme Iso Zero, and Biozyme Whey PR. For which, whey protein

powder is imported from USA and Western Europe.

In just 1 scoop, you will get 25-27 grams of protein with complete amino acid profile. Meaning,

it has all the essential amino acids which are important for our body. Plus, it helps you in 50%

higher protein absorption than any other regular protein.

topic.

We were talking about how by becoming hardcore meat eaters, many changes started

happening in our body. Expensive Tissue Hypotheses, which is one of the leading theories

according to Evolution Key, our intestines started getting smaller. Because meat does not

require much energy to digest protein.

As compared to plants and vegetables which have extremely fibrous cellulose, which requires

long intestines to digest. Even today, if you see, the length of our small intestine is only 3.5

times longer than ours. Whereas, for example, a true herbivorous animal, if you look at a cow,

its intestine is 20 times longer according to its height or length.

Whereas, if you look at a true carnivore, like a lion, its small intestine is only 2 times longer.

Even our stomach acid's pH value is 1.5 to 2. A carnivore's pH value is 0.8 to 1. And a herbivore's

pH value is around 6. Now, when our intestines started getting smaller, we started getting

more nutrition-dense food. And due to cooking in fire, the body did not have to use much

energy even in digestion.

So, the body started using as much energy as possible in the development of our brain. And

that is why, within 20 to 30 lakh years, our brain started developing rapidly. So rapidly, that our

brain became 4 times larger than the amount of brain development we had in the last 6 crore

years.

And that is why, this particular period is called the 3 million year sprint or brain boom period.

Now, in brain development, eating non-veg played the biggest role. Much more than even the

use of fire for cooking food.

People are often confused about this. Especially some biased vegan influencers. Like I read in

some blogs.

But the consensus of the majority scientific community is that yes, meat was the biggest reason

that contributed to the brain development of humans. And from cooking, the nutritional and

caloric availability of meat does not make much difference. This is also proved in research.

You will find the link in the description below. All the facts that we are sharing in this video, all

the links to that research can be found in the description below. Our team is the most

passionate to find the truth.

And we are a science even while eating and sleeping. Even in our veins, the blood of science is

running. We are building such a passionate team that wants to develop a scientific rational

mindset in Indians.

Because let's be honest, India needs this the most today. Because science is the second name

So if you are a science enthusiast and if you want to join us in this mission of spreading science

across crores of Indians, then making your passion a thriving profession will be our

responsibility. Many subscribers have already joined us and they are loving our culture.

As of now, we are looking for science and geopolitical writers who can even help us scale the

podcast. Creative motion graphic artists, professional PR personals who can represent us and

social media interns for a work from office opportunity in Mumbai. All details are added in the

description below.

Let's create an impact together. And now let's come back to our main topic. And it is also clear

in history that humans started eating meat even before the discovery of fire.

This development of our mind continued for 2 lakh years during which some Homo erectus,

Homo heidelbergensis evolved which later evolved into Homo sapiens which is us humans.

Now the journey from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens took at least 20 lakh years. In these 20

lakh years, our diet, our lifestyle even our body parts and even our DNA changed a lot.

We have many proofs of this. We had become a hunter-gatherer who used to hunt and fill their

stomachs And this same lifestyle and eating habits continued for 10,000 years. And then an

incident happened which some scientists consider as a huge blunder We learned farming.

Now I know you must be shocked to hear this. We started getting food from farming. So how

can this be a blunder? Also, very few people know that humans did not do farming out of

interest.

They did not do it out of interest but out of compulsion with a stone in their heart. Otherwise,

we were very happy with our hunting lifestyle. Evolutionary biologist Nicholas R. Longridge

discovered in his 2020 research that early homo sapiens i.e. we evolved 2-2.5 lakh years ago but

we started farming just 10,000 years ago i.e. we have 96% of our history without farming or

raising animals.

At that time, practically the benefits of farming were less and the losses were more. Do you

know what a modern hunter-gatherer Bushman group said to a scientist when he was asked

why don't you start farming? He said, why should we? When the world is already full of our

favorite foods. Even in the case of old hunter-gatherers being modern hunters, we could hunt

anywhere in the jungles and could sleep peacefully in our caves.

Hunting gave you immediate returns and flexibility as well. If food is not available at one place

then change the place. But if you want to farm, then it was a long-term investment.

You have to wait for months and years. You have to work hard from the top. You have to

plough the field.

You have to guard the fields every day. You have to deal with thieves, humans and animals.

Even after this, you are at the mercy of God.

Because weather, rain, regular sun, water, air, insects, birds could destroy the crop at any time.

And all the hard work went in the water. And that's why humans needed a big shock to get out

of their comfort zone and start farming.

The shock that nature finally gave us. 14,000 years ago, the Ice Age on Earth had started to end.

For 2,000 years, the temperature started to rise rapidly and then suddenly it started to freeze

again for 1,200 years.

The temperature started to reach the peak of the Ice Age. Meanwhile, many floods started to

occur This extreme event is called the Younger Dryas Epoch. It destroyed many big animals of

the Ice Age forever.

Big animals like mammoths, bovids, Pleistocene bisons, etc. which we humans used to hunt for

food. This theory is debatable and scientists are still getting new proofs.

But some other theories also claim that all these animals died because we humans basically

hunted them. But one thing is for sure that all our big hunts went extinct. Which primarily used

to be our food and small animals remained.

Like rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, etc. After hunting them, we didn't get enough meat to feed our

entire family. This helplessness gave birth to the concept of farming.

And in this new game, along with the need for food, human settlements started to form. Small

settlements and villages started to form. Now to fulfill the needs of these settlements, cereals

like corn, wheat, rice, barley, etc.

started to be grown in the fields. Because they could be grown in large quantities and could

feed a large population. In fact, there is a strong correlation between cereal consumption and

population growth.

And that's why even today, India and China are the top cereal-consuming countries. And that's

why, from the time farming started till 1000 AD, the population had increased by 120 times.

Like in an instant, there were 80 lakh to 100 crore people.

So now friends, let's pause for a while and think. Because farming was a big milestone in

human history. The person who was a hunter-gatherer due to the lack of food, he was forced to

settle down and do farming.

This changed his food source and fuel source forever. Point to be noted. Imagine it this way.

If there is an engine, it is made to run on diesel. Now if you start adding kerosene to it, what will

happen? What will happen to the diesel engine? The engine will run, but it will be destroyed

from within. Its life will also be reduced.

This was also the case with humans. The nutritional breakdown of our diet started changing. In

the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, our diet was 37% protein, 41% carbohydrate, and 22% fat.

We used to get 60% plus calories from animal sources like meat and fish. But after starting

farming, our nutritional breakdown became 60-65% carbohydrates, 15% proteins, and 20% fat.

That is, proteins literally decreased by more than half and carbs increased by more than 50%.

Plus, because we used to grow similar crops, our food variety also started decreasing. Because

of this, we started losing a lot of micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. You can understand

the impact of this with a simple graph.

Just before the farming invention, the average height of human males used to be 5 feet 10

inches. I am talking about our wild hunter-gatherer males. And as farming started, in a few

thousand years, their height decreased to 5 feet 3 inches.

Even today, the global average of the world is 5 feet 9 inches. And that too, despite the

development of medical, nutrition science, and health supplements. The height of an average

Indian male is still 4 to 5 inches less than that of a hunter-gatherer.

Only 5 feet 5 inches. Plus, malnutrition problems also started increasing in that era. Because

people were getting full due to a carbohydrate-rich diet.

But due to empty calories, people started lacking nutrition. Nutrients like iron, zinc, calcium,

iodine, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. The same nutrients are also lacking in

vegans and vegetarians if they don't pay attention to their diet.

So, what exactly were we eating that was keeping us healthy? And what did we start eating

Well, in the earlier hunter-gatherer lifestyle, our diet mostly comprised roughly 30% meats, 30%

fishes, and 40% plants. Which included fruits, vegetables, tubers like potatoes, yams. Now, the

things we didn't eat before were cereals, dairy products, added salts, added sugars, vegetable

oils, breads, pastas, alcohols, etc.

These things didn't even exist in our menu before. But after the farming revolution, exactly the

same things became our staple diet. So, for our engine, pure diesel fuel started mixing with soil

oil.

And you know, even today, the 200-plus hunter-gatherer tribes that are cut off from modern

civilization and as a result, even from modern diseases, they follow the same old diet pattern.

And they also follow the same high-protein, low-carb diet trend. For example, Tanzania's Hadza

Bushmen, who even today, consume 100-200 grams of protein daily.

And that's why, if you remember, when I called India's top genetic scientist, Dr. Neeraj Rai, he

gave this statement, We should strictly follow a non-vegetarian diet. We all should eat meat.

Which received a lot of hate.

He was basically saying that why should this diet be our natural diet? Why should it be our pure

diesel? Now, by saying all this, I don't mean at all that now we all should become nonvegetarian. This is the only option left. My job is to tell the truth of our past so that we can

understand where we have come from.

Because science is all about truth, right? And don't worry, no vegetarian needs to become nonvegetarian. The solution to all problems can be found when scientific thinking is with us.

Vegetarians have a better option than a non-vegetarian which I will reveal in a short while.

But before that, didn't this question come to your mind? That if the diet has changed, so be it.

What's the big deal? Is just the increase of carbohydrates such a big problem? Well, yes. It's a

big problem.

The job of carbs is to give us the energy we need. Whenever we eat more carbs than we need, it

creates problems all over the world. And by all over the world, I mean all over the universe.

All these diseases that I mentioned in the beginning, which didn't happen to our ancestors,

diabetes, BP, cholesterol, heart diseases, obesity, cancers, inflammation, even dental diseases,

all these are directly associated with high-carbohydrate diets. There may be some diseases that

are not triggered by high carbs and sugar. Just imagine, earlier, heart diseases and cancers,

which today, according to the WHO, account for 67% of deaths, used to be extremely rare.

But listen carefully, I'm telling you, excess, more than necessary carbs, have been one of the

major culprits. Not simply carbs, but the same balance. So after the advent of farming, it got

ruined.

And after that, the second big bomb, a bigger bomb than the first one, exploded on our diet

after the 19th century industrial revolution. When food processing industries started emerging,

sugars, chemicals, salt, saturated fats, preservatives, the use of all these started skyrocketing. I

mean, now the situation was such that, let alone the oil in the engine, we literally started using

damper water.

But still, because these foods were engineered according to our cravings, humans, without

thinking twice, started eating them. This has been happening even today. Where have we come

from without understanding the history of our body and its development? We are very eager to

know the history of our country, but what about the history of our body? We call the body a

temple, but how many have read the history of this temple? While there is nothing more

precious than health in this world.

And that's why, friends, now that we have learned a lot about our history, I have brought this

research to you literally after reading hundreds of research papers. And I have also put all the

references in the description below. But now we can finally focus on what should be the best

diet in today's world, which keeps us away from all diseases and keeps us physically strong and

mentally sharp.

Well, the simple answer to this is to match the nutrition profile of your diet as much as possible

with the nutrition profile of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Match their high protein, vitamins,

minerals, fibers and low carbs and moderate fats profiles. Because our body has been made for

this type of fuel This simple natural diet has helped us to become the most intelligent species

today.

This plain and simple diet and nutritional profile is true. It was not promoted by our ancestors

by billion-dollar companies. It was specifically chosen by nature for us.

So now comes the next question. It's easy for non-vegetarians. They can increase lean meat,

fish and vegetables.

They can cut down sugars. How can vegetarians manage this nutrition split? Well, it's simple.

With awareness and a little planning.

In fact, vegetarians have non-vegetarians. The main problem in vegetarian diets is that you

have to be more proactive about foods. It's not that easy to buy a fish for dinner and get all the

balanced amino acids and nutrients.

Vegetarian protein sources don't have a complete amino acid profile. And that's why the best

strategy is to include a variety of protein and nutrition sources in the diet. Which is very easy in

today's modern lifestyle.

Remember, the poor old farmers could only eat what they used to grow. How could they get

variety? That's why their height started to decrease severely. Life expectancy also started to

decrease.

And malnutrition started to increase. But you just have to focus on variety and balance. Look, I'll

kept in limits.

Lastly, only 5% calories should come from high-sugary foods like ice-creams, candies and

pastries. If you can avoid it, then totally reduce it. Instead of that, increase protein, fruits and

vegetables.

This would be ideal. But of course, I have made this a bank based on cheat meals because

anyone can slip. We are all humans.

Apart from this, I would highly recommend vitamin B12 supplementation because most of the

vegetarians don't get it from their diet. In supplementation, you can also consider iron, zinc and

omega-3 fatty acids if you are unable to get it from your diet. Obviously, your diet will adjust

according to your physical activity.
