Rethinking Diet and Exercise | Herman Pontzer, PhD

The Proof with Simon Hill

CHAPTER

Paleo

I think there are important lessons to learn from hunter-gatherers, but we shouldn't be too quick to throw away all the gains we've made societally with things like clean water and medicine. What we're getting wrong is the diet and exercise component of it. You want to kind of blend those things together. I don't think you have to sort of cause players on hunter-gatherer populations to do it right. I think what you want to do is try to take the good from each culture. You take the Medicine and you take the clean water. Thank you very much for your time.
