Primal Blueprint
Be sure to check out Mark Sisson’s piece, “What is the Primal Blueprint?”
Here is the overall premise of the article:
Most of life is really much simpler than modern medicine and science would like to have you believe. You can have a tremendous impact on how your genes express themselves, simply by providing your cells the right environments.

2. Move around a lot at a slow pace

6. Play
7. Get some sunlight every day
8. Avoid trauma
9. Avoid poisonous things
10. Use your mind
