    About this ebook

    99% of our health problems exist as a direct result of our modern lifestyles. That means processed foods that don’t contain any nutrition. It means sitting at desks for 8 hours every day. It means constant chronic stress. And it means trying to cure everything with pills.

    The solution isn’t to add more unhealthy supplements, or to create foods with no sustenance. The solution is to take a step backwards and to look to the environment in which we first evolved. Experts agree that diabetes likely didn’t exist (or at least was incredibly rare) only a few hundred years ago.

    Obesity is higher than it has ever been.

    We’re living longer but our quality of lives are taking a hit. It seems we lost something important along the way.

    Time to go back to basics and to get our health back!

      Chapter 1: Introduction – What is Primal Living? And Why You Should Care

      ––––––––

      If you’ve been keeping an eye on the fitness industry over the last few years, then you might have noticed some interesting changes in attitude.

      Whereas fitness was once all about exercise machines, supplements and low-fat diets; today we’re starting to go back to our roots.

      Basically, we’ve found that these ‘high tech’ methods of losing weight, improving health and getting fitter just don’t work as well as they should. And this really comes down to one simple truth: we can’t do better than nature.

      Today, health bloggers and thought leaders in the industry are preaching from a different book. Now we’re being told to get outside more, to get sunlight, to swim in the cold water, to eat a balanced, natural diet and to train using our bodies and our environments.

      And guess what? For the most part it’s working!

      99% of our health problems exist as a direct result of our modern lifestyles. That means processed foods that don’t contain any nutrition. It means sitting at desks for 8 hours every day. It means constant chronic stress. And it means trying to cure everything with pills.

      The solution isn’t to add more unhealthy supplements, or to create foods with no sustenance. The solution is to take a step backwards and to look to the environment in which we first evolved. Experts agree that diabetes likely didn’t exist (or at least was incredibly rare) only a few hundred years ago.

      Obesity is higher than it has ever been.

      We’re living longer but our quality of lives are taking a hit. It seems we lost something important along the way.

      Time to go back to basics and to get our health back!

      A Quick Lesson in Evolution

      The above statements are going to make an awful lot of sense to some people, while others might need a bit more convincing. Is the answer really as simple as ‘not eating cake’? Can it really make that much difference whether you get your
