Bedtime Reading to Feed Your Brain

Paleo Diet Research – Bibliography

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

Paleo diet research has taught us a lot about eating a healthy diet. We’ve studied the conclusions of the leading thinkers in the field of paleo nutrition – what they say, what they eat and how they cook. It all makes perfect sense – eat whole natural foods for a perfect health diet.

These reference books and blogs can help you to make up your own mind about the paleo lifestyle. We’ve written reviews of the books we think are truly important. You should take the time to check them out.

So, here is your bedtime reading list!
