The Modern Primal Blueprint

This is not my own thinking, this is taken from the website, Mark's Daily Apple.  Mark Sisson has a book, that I am waiting to receive, called The Primal Blueprint. 

Mark Writes:
"My basic premise is this: The Primal Blueprint is a set of simple instructions (the blueprint) that allows you to control how your genes express themselves in order to build the strongest, leanest, healthiest body possible, taking clues from evolutionary biology (that’s the primal part).


Sometimes we get so lost in the science of human biology we just can’t see the forest for the trees. We overlook the simplicity and ease with which we could all be achieving exceptional health and fitness"

He outlines 10 basic prinicples, which after reading, seem pretty obvious and easy to follow.  This will form the foundation of our Paleo diet/lifestyle:

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 once in awhile
5. Get lots of sleep
6. Play
7. Get some sunlight every day
8. Avoid trama
9. Avoid poisonous things
10. Use your mind

This is a lifestyle I think I could get used to!  More to come in future posts!
