Paleo’s view of Life : An essay

In 2013, As I walk back past,

10 years ago, Google is a word I never heard

20 years ago, Internet is a term used only in Military Glossary
And 50 years ago, Cardiologists performed their first Bypass surgery

100 years ago, M K Gandhi got arrested in South Africa
1000 years ago, Four Great Books of Song in China has completed thousand volumes
5000 years ago, Era of Troy began

Around 10,000 years ago, All the Human History is a folk lore; and epic Mythology. Hunter and Gatherer Man turned into Modern Man with Agriculture and Wheel as his weapons.

100,000 years ago, Man began to dominate Earth with strong social groups, effective communication skills and sharp tools to kill any animal that includes a Mammoth and a Shark.

Further far, let’s not travel, as You will be eaten by a Dinosaur.

My central point is focused, on the last two lines mentioned above. If you analyse close, and take a parallel in a Calendar, we lived as a Hunter-Gatherer for 11 months and the last month (i.e. December) is the whole Agricultural, Industrial, Technological and Informational explosion happened.

Our DNA doesn’t suits to today’s world.

We are not made to remember Calls, Emails, and Reports;
not made to do math, find out logic in logic and score well in Emotional Quotient tests.

Our memory recall is spatial and our experience is hands-on.

Modern Man disagree with what I speak, He loves Order, discards Variance.

So, He follows three meal a day regime, running endlessly on Tread mills, lifting weights of no value and quenching to Energy drinks.

Am not here, to convince. Am here, to convey.

Applications of Paleo-based living is multi fold,

If we tend to imitate, the Bush Men of Africa..

In Diet,

We can fast for half a day, Sprint often and do long walks;
Delete Sugars and Salt; Bring volatility in protein intake;
Lift heavy objects (like our ancestors did with stones) and         
Eat not any, that is packed and boxed.  

In political structure,

We can encourage City States (like Swiss),
No Central Planners, No Bail outs

In life,

We base our camp,
With more exposure to sun,
Stand or Bend and work;
Leave office, before sun set

None of the said prescriptions make an impact to you,  if you look for scientific papers to obey my content. (Don’t Google, It’s waste of your time)

Few need to be followed like religious rituals, rest left to Gods. Innocence is bliss, isn’t it ?

Acceptance to this philosophy (or diet) is seen bottom-up.

As a positive sign, we find many dedicated bloggers and free-lance writers on Paleo diet and life-style across the world giving two thumbs up.

Ancestral based Local response, to our complex system (be it, Social, Environmental and Nutrition diet structures) need to be taken at serious levels.

I await for a day, where

Thousands skip their lunch or dinner,

Millions say ‘No’ to Coke and Pepsi,
And Billions meditate on Cave Man's Code.

Then and only then, Spirit to connect close to Nature, Rise.
