Technology changes rapidly but our biology, our bodies change slowly. Our bodies are essentially the same as 10,000 years ago. 10,000 years ago humans were stronger and healthier. I wish to regain the strength and health of my hunter-gatherer ancestors. To do so, I will emulate their conditions:
- I will take a cold shower each day to emulate the environmental extremes that my hunter-gatherer ancestors dealt with.
- I will fast on water every Sunday to emulate the periods without food that my hunter-gatherer ancestors endured.
- I will go barefoot as much as possible and run my feet over lacrosse balls to emulate the lack of footwear of my hunter-gatherer ancestors.
- I will walk outdoors for an hour each day to emulate the long distances that my hunter-gatherer ancestors traveled each day.
- I will lift heavy weights to emulate the hard work that my hunter-gatherer ancestors performed each day.
- I will eat fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and meat to emulate the diet of my hunter-gatherer ancestors.
