The modern dilemma
An Evolutionary Mismatch
We are changing our environment far faster than our biology can adapt. Dramatic changes due to modern living conditions have occurred in the lives of most people in the past hundred years that we are unequipped to handle. Poor diets, alcohol consumption, smoking, drug abuse, and chronic stress, are the major components of an unhealthy life style that ultimately lead to states of disease. More recently, for instance, emerging new technologies such as the internet, social media and on demand streaming services that are fabricated to keep you on site as long as possible are leading our world to a major challenge that threatens the physical and mental health of individuals.
Our Progenitors
Ancestral Wisdom
The challenge to overcome is in taking a holistic approach to curating healthy habits and routines that more closely mirror the lifestyles of our ancestors. For the majority of our existence as a human race, we were hunter gatherers. It takes a long time for a species to adapt to new living conditions. From a genetic standpoint, we are basically the same as the hunter gatherer societies that lived approximately 10,000 years ago. Addressing the dramatic discrepancies that exist when evaluating our modern lifestyle is critical. Let us look to our ancestors for guidance. The environments in which they thrived and practices they engaged in should inform the lifestyle decisions we make.
