Turns out the natural human diet is very similar to that of all apes (which shouldn’t really surprise us, as humans are classified as great apes, too) and is based on fruits: a frugivorous diet – or “frugivore diet.” And with the growing popularity of such fruit-based diets and raw vegan diets, the number of critical...
A fruit-based diet is truly special! It’s unique in its concept because it is based on our biological traits as frugivores and the diet we can observe in our closest living relatives – chimpanzees. All apes are specialized in fruit-eating! A fruit-based diet is, thus, the species-specific diet of humans. Tropical fruit and our...
This guide gives you an overview of how to regenerate and detox with fruits. The approach is the human species-specific diet and, thus, the most natural and effective way you can choose. The cleansing power of fruits is ancient knowledge that is being rediscovered by health seekers, but also – slowly – by science. Detox – not...
Chimpanzees are often referred to - and percieved as - typical omnivores. This is a misperception with significant implications on where humans place themselves on the dietary spectrum!
What is the natural human diet? Like every species, humans have a species-specific diet. Today, in most cultures, humans are obviously cultural omnivores: we eat just about everything from nature that we can turn into edible matter through cooking and processing. But what is our natural, biologically appropriate diet? Humans, most...
We all have heard about omnivores, herbivore or carnivores. But what are frugivores? Oddly, most people have never heard the term that describes the dietary pattern of our closest living relatives, the apes, and, highly likely, our own natural diet: Frugivores are animals specialized in foraging fruits and with a strong preference for fruit. They...
Tropical fruits are the most underrated and neglected superfoods! The evidence for why tropical fruits are essential for optimal health is not only found in nutritional studies—it is based on human evolution. Let’s explore our unique relationship with exotic fruits and why they are even healthier than temperate fruits. The evidence of the...
A fruit-based diet is not a new idea, but it is gaining more attention with the rising awareness about the frugivorous ancestry and characteristics of humans. However, there is confusion about what fruit-based diets actually consist of, and how healthy they are. The distinction between a “frugivore” and a “fruitarian” diet...
