Many of the pervasive health concerns in modern society are the result of diet and lifestyle choices that are at odds with the evolutionary milieu for which we remain genetically adapted. This systematic displacement from a very physically active lifestyle in a natural outdoor environment to a sedentary indoor lifestyle may be at the root of many chronic diseases that are endemic in our culture. A proposed solution is to simulate indigenous human activity patterns in a way that is possible and practical for individuals to achieve. Suggestions for exercise mode, duration, intensity, and frequency are outlined, with a focus on realigning our daily physical activities with the archetype that is encoded within our genome. In a sedentary individual, this type of daily physical activity should help confer the robust vigorous health that enabled our ancestors to survive and thrive as hunter-gatherers in the wild.
现代社会中许多普遍存在的健康问题是由于饮食和生活方式的选择与我们仍然遗传适应的进化环境不一致造成的。这种从非常活跃的自然户外生活方式到久坐的室内生活方式的系统性转变，可能是我们文化中许多慢性疾病的根源。提出的解决方案是模拟原始人类的活动模式，使其对于个人来说是可行和实际的。本文概述了运动模式、持续时间、强度和频率的建议，重点是使我们的日常体力活动与我们基因组中编码的原型重新保持一致。对于久坐不动的人来说，这种日常体力活动有助于赋予他们强健的体魄，使我们的祖先能够在野外作为狩猎采集者生存和繁衍。
