As always, we apply the Paleolithic Model as a litmus test for nutrition, fitness and lifestyle characteristics. One of these characteristics that we have to consider is... SLEEP. Thought I would share the latest finding on
Sleep Loss and Increased Risk of Obesity and Diabetes: "The research reviewed here suggests that chronic partial sleep loss may increase the risk of obesity and diabetes via multiple pathways, including having an adverse effect on parameters of glucose regulation, a dysregulation of the neuroendocrine control of appetite leading to excessive food intake, and decreased energy expenditure. Epidemiologic studies have gen- erally supported the laboratory findings. The causes of the dramatic increase in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes that has been occurring worldwide over the past few decades remain to be fully elucidated, and the possibility that chronic partial sleep curtailment, a novel behavior that appears to have developed with the advent of the 24-hour society, is very intriguing, particularly because sleep habits may be amenable to behavioral intervention.

PALEO RECIPE
"Coconut Icecream"
All used foods should be best quality. Buy a ripe coconut, i.e. one with thick white flesh. Additionally buy two pints of coconut juice or buy young coconuts and extract the juice. Extract the flesh from the ripe coconut and put it into the food processor. The amount of flesh is something you can vary, depending on how intense the taste of the ice should be. Try .5 lb for two pints of coconut juice. Add the juice to the processed flesh. Now put the mixture into an ice machine (must be able to stir while freezing). Eat your icecream while frozen. Do not let it thaw again because it would be subject to denaturation by thawing. Enjoy!
