How Our Ancestors Moved
For the vast majority of our evolutionary history, we humans had to exert ourselves - often quite strenuously - to get food. We naturally spent a lot of time outdoors in the sun walking, hunting, gathering, and performing various other physically-oriented tasks. We had no concept of this as "exercise" or "working out". It was just a part of life.
This plethora of natural movement kept our ancestors healthy. Physical activity does more than just help us burn fat and lose weight. It also improves energy levels, sleep quality, helps reduce stress, and helps prevent (or even reverse) chronic inflammatory conditions.
Im sure this isnt news to you; most people are aware that physical activity is essential to good health. But what you may not know is that an explosion of recent research indicates that sitting too much is harmful - even if youre getting adequate exercise.
The solution? We should move like our ancestors.
