Why we’re interested in ancient foods at Bacopa Moon - It’s like we humans have forgotten how to eat.

The impact industrialized living has had on the way we eat has been - without being hyperbolic - catastrophic to health when compared to traditional diets. There has been a recent increase in food allergies and food sensitivities. Food addictions, early deaths related to dietary habits, childhood obesity, environmental damage, are just a few of the health problems associated with our modern eating practices. We’re also seeing a reduction in diversity of our microbiomes in the west and other changes in the microbiome. We don’t know yet how much damage we’ve actually done to our health by changing our microbiomes. Here at Bacopa Moon, we are looking to the past to help us piece together healthier ways to eat in order to heal, mind, body, and spirit. Traditional diets, the Mediterranean diet, regenerative farming, pre-industrial plant foods and herbs are potential ways of healing through food.
