Description

Nature spent millions of years forging genetic code so that you could be strong, fit, and healthy throughout your life. Yet, when we look around, we see an epidemic of obesity, autoimmune diseases, young people with diabetes, and people succumbing to heart disease in early middle age. Why Though "nature versus nurture" has long been debated, it is only in the past few years that the idea of conforming our diet and exercise to our genome has gained traction. And it is precisely this idea that holds the key to unlocking your potential to be happier, healthier, and fitter than most can imagine is possible. Why didn't our Paleolithic forebears suffer from tooth decay, yet dentists' offices are ubiquitous in our society Why is it that middle-aged men who are gobbling whole grains by the bushel and eating tofu to banish meat from their diets are still requiring expensive station drug prescriptions to control their cholesterol The Modern Caveman tries to answer these questions, describing an evolutionarily healthful lifestyle of diet, living patterns, and exercise that is easily adopted and maintained throughout life. Are you ready to fulfill the true destiny that nature has given you The modern caveman diet holds the answer to achieving and maintaining a great body, strength, energy, and active wellness right into a healthy old body, strength, energy, and active wellness right into a healthy old age with dramatically decreased risks of "diseases of civilization."
