Understanding the Benefits of Ancestral Ingredients
Ancestral ingredients are foods that have been consumed by our ancestors for thousands of years. These ingredients have stood the test of time and have been proven to provide numerous health benefits. They are often whole, unprocessed foods that are rich in nutrients. You can find these types of ingredients in diets like AIP, Animal-Based, Carnivore, Keto, and Paleo.
Many ancestral ingredients, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, are high in antioxidants, which may help fight off free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. They also contain anti-inflammatory compounds, such as omega-3 fatty acids and polyphenols, which can help reduce inflammation and promote overall health.
