Reconnecting With Your Inner Caveman

What if modern life has made us forget what our bodies were built for?

For millions of years, humans lived by a remarkably simple formula: find real food, move their bodies, rest when they needed to, spend time outdoors, and live as part of a community.

Then modern life changed almost everything.

Reconnecting With Your Inner Caveman takes a fascinating look at the relationship between human evolution, modern food and the way we live today—and asks a simple question:

Could some of the answers to better health and vitality be found by looking back at where we came from?

Drawing on scientific research, archaeological evidence and the author's experience as a chef and personal trainer, this book explores the principles behind the Paleo/Primal approach to health and fitness.

Inside, you'll discover:

• The evolutionary story behind the Paleo lifestyle — how humans lived, ate and moved for thousands of generations before agriculture changed the way we lived.

• The Agricultural Revolution — how the transition from hunter-gatherer living to farming transformed our food and daily activity.

• The modern food problem — an exploration of refined sugar, processed foods, grains and other foods central to the modern diet.

• Good fats, bad fats and cholesterol — a look at the long-running debate around dietary fat and what the book argues about our relationship with it.

• Getting back to basics — practical principles for choosing more natural, nutrient-dense foods.

• Ancient exercise and rest patterns — why our ancestors weren't spending hours in a gym, but naturally combined walking, physical work, bursts of intense effort, rest and play.

• Becoming the caveman—or cavewoman—of the future — practical suggestions for bringing the useful parts of the ancestral lifestyle into modern life without abandoning modern conveniences.

• Simple Paleo-style exercise ideas for improving your foundation of fitness.

• 15 practical recipes designed to make healthy eating enjoyable rather than restrictive.

And yes... there's plenty of food.

The recipe section includes everything from Egg Muffins, Zucchini Bake and Aussie Beef Burgers to Kangaroo Kofta Balls, Chicken Cacciatore, Barramundi, Osso Buco and Rich Dark Chocolate Mousse.

The goal isn't to make you live in a cave, hunt your own dinner or throw away your smartphone.

It's about taking the best lessons from our evolutionary past and applying them to modern life.

Eat real food.

Move more.

Lift things.

Walk.

Sprint occasionally.

Rest when you need to.

Play.

And pay attention to how your body responds.

As the author puts it, the idea isn't to literally become a caveman, but to find a way to make the best of both worlds.
