What is PRIMAL HEALTH?

With so much health information out there, and so many competing theories and perspectives vying for attention, it’s difficult to know what we should do on a day-to-day basis to keep ourselves healthy and happy. Yet a new discipline, evolutionary medicine can help. By exploring how our Stone Age ancestors lived, loved, got sick, and healed themselves over millions of years, Evolutionary Medicine provides us with useful and in many cases counterintuitive guidelines on how to nurture our own innate capacities for health. How many of our commonly-held beliefs, like drinking 8 glasses of water and taking vitamins every day, are really modern myths? How much of our faith in the latest cholesterol or blood sugar pill is manufactured? Primal Health offers answers to these questions as well as valuable advice on everything from cancer to diabetes to aging gracefully. It’s time to take evolution out of the courtroom, liberate it from the science classroom and introduce it into the examining room and our daily lives. Cutting through the hype that surrounds health issues as well as the "conventional wisdom" that so often hinders rather than helps us, Primal Health provides readers with the insight they need to live longer, healthier, and happier and less anxious lives.
