The Paleo lifestyle and diet in particular is about eating real, whole, un-processed foods that are nutrient-dense and fostering health and rejuvenation from within the very cells that make up our body and are responsible for our body's functions. "Gluten-free foods" that are the craze right now can still be very processed and contain many chemicals, preservatives, and sugars that can make it very difficult for the body to digest properly. The high carbohydrate content in many of the gluten-free pastas, breads, cookies, and other snacks available can still spike blood sugar and cause the body to function less-effectively. This can be especially dangerous for those with diabetes or other auto-immune diseases.
