The Seven Elements of Ethnicity & Weight

What did the diet of your early ancestors consist of? Did their way of life contribute to life span? How might you benefit from embracing your ethnic blueprint in the way of weight loss, weight gain and weight management? This original Diet Bites article concentrates on 7 Elements that we believe address the relationship between weight and ethnic culture.

Many things effect the number on our weight scales, particularly our ethnic origin. Respecting the Laws of Mother Nature may even help repair world health issues, particularly those issues relating to obesity. The use of insecticides on our food sources, the importation of non-native foods, as well as our ethnic heritage are key points that we believe may help solve obesity related problems.

What we weigh is directly related to our ethnic background. Different ethnic groups require different foods - generally foods that are indigenous to where the group lives. By embracing our Ethnic Diet Roots we believe the result is a more effective method of weight loss, as well as permanent weight loss.

Dieting Suggestion: If you know a bit of your genealogical history, try to build a daily diet on the staples that are as close to the ancestral diet of the cultures related to you - even if you are a mix of several different cultures. Look for organically grown foods, free of harmful chemicals.

Simply put, this section of Diet Bites provides the dietary history of common ethnic groups. You'll discover how climate, ethnic daily diets, ethnic-related health issues, culture, spirituality and relaxation create your Weight Puzzle. We begin with the First Element:
