Nutrition is the foundation of your health. Every cell in your body is built upon the raw building materials you put in your body like fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and countless other nutrients even yet to be discovered. myersdetox.com serves to teach you how to eat with longevity and optimum health in mind.

[The Modern Paleo diet](https://myersdetox.com/modern-paleo) is what I believe to be the most nutrient dense diet on earth. [Modern Paleo](https://myersdetox.com/modern-paleo) is my version of the Paleo diet based upon the latest research. I can only advocate the diet I believe to be the most nutrient dense and the diet that will work for most people – the Paleo diet. This is the diet that our body has evolutionarily been designed to thrive on. The human race has eaten this diet for millions of years, thus our bodies have evolved to require the nutrients in this diet to function optimally.

Many diets, like the vegetarian, vegan and raw food diets have become popular, but are full of serious nutritional deficiencies and I cannot recommend them for this reason. But no one diet works for everyone. You have to find, by trial and error, the diet tailored specifically to your own biochemistry. This is why you will find that a diet that works great for your friend or partner is not working for you at all. Paleo is a great place to start. I teach you how to find the Paleo diet that works best for you in my new book [The Modern Paleo Survival Guide](https://myersdetox.com/modern-paleo-survival-guide/), coming soon.
