I'd like to offer you a warm welcome to my blog. I intend to make this small addition to the cyberspace a comforting place to learn how to be a healthier you.
I am a UCLA biological anthropology major student and I desire to pursue the fields of nutrition and personal fitness training.
As I have grown up I have seen many of my fellow friends struggle with their weight and health and it has caused me to seek out the answers that will be able to help my friends.
Although I am just embarking on my quest for answers I have become very fond of living a lifestyle of our paleolithic ancestors. Now, I am not suggesting going back on the savanna, wearing animal skin clothing, living in caves, and hunting our meals. I suggest taking elements of that past and implementing them into todays world. The ways that our hunting and gathering ancestors lived and ate allowed them to bypass obesity, heart disease, cancers, tooth decay, and malnutrition.
Ironically, these people lived prior to the invention of modern medicine and science. They relied on common sense and instincts to survive, not the confusing My Pyramid, processed foods, or cubical plague lifestyles humanity lives today.
Fortunately, with technology we have been able to discover that our genes are the same genes that humans 40,000 years ago possess. This means if we can revert our behaviors back to those of yesteryear, we can solve many of these fatal conditions that humanity suffers from today.
And this is what this blog is going to teach you to do! It is going to teach you how to live like a Modern Hunter and Gatherer because it is true we cannot go back to the savannas and hunt everyday, but we can get pretty close!
