Eating well is just one part of living well. Exercising is just as important, Dr Brian Clement explains...

Foraging through the woods, with their endless walking,
our nomadic ancestors genetically and anatomically set the blueprint for future generations. Not until we humans began to become sedentary, did we begin to limit total body use.
Farming, in and of itself, offered the full spectrum of aerobic and weight-lifting exercise that is prerequisite to health.
As the industrial revolution sprouted in the 19th century, most people began to migrate to cities and cubical residences that dramatically, for the first time, limited the use of our anatomy. Abnormal standing, sitting, leaning and resting increased due to our obligatory work. By the mid-20th century, the commonly shared outdoor activities began to be challenged by the newly created television. Before we knew it, we were watching professional sport teams rather than actively participating in sports. Within one generation, the term ‘couch potato’ was created. In the developing world, people’s addiction to the ‘box’ far outweighs quality time spent with family and friends.
