Living the "Primal" Lifestyle

Over the last 10 years I have learned much about, and have been rewarded with, living a more "Primal" Lifestyle.

The concepts are basic and fundamental to good health and longevity.
Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle is contrary to what we really need.

Poor nutritional choices, inactivity, stress, and lack of sleep have become far too common. Even "fitness" training is commonly pursued with the wrong emphasis or goals.  "Working out" consists primarily of isolation exercises and "cardio" on machines.  The pursuit of "burning calories" or winning competitive (long distance) events is in opposition to long term health and anti-aging.

Humans no longer eat, move, or live as they were designed to.

The following "Rules" for a "Primal" Lifestyle come from Mark Sisson (Mark's Daily Apple).

1. Eat lots of animals, insects and plants.
2. Move around a lot at a slow pace.
3. Lift heavy things.
4. Run really fast every once in a while.
5. Get lots of sleep.
6. Play.
7. Get some sunlight every day.
8. Avoid trauma.
9. Avoid poisonous things.
10. Use your mind.
