Is Paleo Diet the best diet from Middle-Age onwards, and what is Evolutionary Biology - Michael Rose
Episode description
On this episode I discuss:
1. What is evolutionary biology and what is it's view of Aging
2. An evolutionary biologist's view of a healthier and longer life
3. Is the Paleo diet the best for us as we age, and when does the Agricultural diet serve us best?
We discuss adaptations of agricultural diet from Western Europe, to Africa and Middle East/Asia. We discuss how those adaptations serve us very well when we are young, and how after middle age Paleo diet might be the better diet for us.
My guest today is Michael Rose, Distinguished Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the university of Irvine. He has a fascinating way of approaching aging and we get to discuss some of his experiments. I am glad to have him on the show today.
