Anotace
In "The Paleo Manifesto: Ancient Wisdom for Lifelong Health," John
Durant argues for an evolutionary - and "revolutionary" - approach
to health. All animals, human or otherwise, thrive when they mimic
key elements of life in their natural habitat. From diet to
movement to sleep, this evolutionary perspective sheds light on
some of our most pressing health concerns. What is causing the rise
of chronic conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and depression?
Is eating red meat going to kill you? Is avoiding the sun actually
the best way to avoid skin cancer? Durant takes readers on a
thrilling ride to the Paleolithic and beyond, unlocking the health
secrets of our ancient ancestors. What do obese gorillas teach us
about weight loss? How can Paleolithic skulls contain beautiful
sets of teeth? Why is the Bible so obsessed with hygiene? What do
NASA astronauts teach us about getting a good night's sleep? And
how are Silicon Valley techies hacking the human body? Blending
science and culture, anthropology and philosophy, John Durant
distills the lessons from his adventures and shows how to apply
them to day-to-day life, teaching people how to construct their own
personal "habitat" that will enable them to thrive. The book
doesn't just address what we eat, but why we eat it; not just how
to exercise, but the purpose of functional movement; not just being
healthy, but leading a purposeful life. Combining the best of
ancient wisdom with cutting edge science, Durant crafts a vision of
health that is both fresh and futuristic.
