In The Paleo Manifesto: Old Intelligence for Lifelong Health, John Durant argues for an evolutionary - and cutting edge - approach to health. All animals, human or otherwise, thrive when they mimic important elements of life in their natural habitat. From diet to movements to sleep, this evolutionary perspective sheds light on a few of our most pressing health concerns. What is creating the go up of chronic conditions, such as fatness, diabetes, and despair? Is eating red meat going to get rid of you? Is avoiding the sun actually the ultimate way to avoid skin tumors? Durant takes listeners on a thrilling ride to the Paleolithic and beyond, unlocking the health secrets of your old ancestors. What do obese gorillas coach us about weight loss? How can Paleolithic skulls contain beautiful models of teeth? Why is the Bible so enthusiastic about cleanliness? What do NASA astronauts coach us about getting a good night's sleep? And how are Silicon Valley techies hacking the human body? Blending knowledge and culture, anthropology and philosophy, John Durant distills the lessons from his adventures and shows how to apply those to day-to-day life, teaching people how to create their own personal "habitat" that will enable them to thrive. The reserve doesn't just solve what we eat, but why we eat it; not only how to exercise, but the purpose of practical movement; not only being healthy, but leading a purposeful life. Incorporating the best of old wisdom with cutting edge knowledge, Durant crafts a eye-sight of health that is both fresh and futuristic.
