Mark Sisson's publication of The Primal Blueprint in 2009 served as a catalyst for the mainstream recognition and acceptance of the primal/paleo/ancestral health movement. The hardcover and paperback editions remained at the top of the primal/paleo charts for seven years, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. Sisson, the esteemed publisher of the widely-visited MarksDailyApple.com primal/paleo blog, has spent the last six years diligently researching and evaluating the most up-to-date scientific findings and considering the experiences of numerous individuals who have adopted a primal lifestyle. The second edition of The New Primal Blueprint provides a comprehensively revised, expanded, and updated message compared to the original bestseller. This new edition serves as an ultimate guide for those seeking to shift away from flawed conventional wisdom regarding diet and exercise, and embrace a healthy, empowering lifestyle based on the evolutionary-tested behaviors of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. The book outlines ten unchangeable laws of the Primal Blueprint lifestyle, which have the potential to reprogram one's genes and lead to weight loss, health, and longevity. These laws are supported by two million years of human evolution and a growing body of contemporary scientific research. Initially met with skepticism, Sisson's philosophy has been validated by mainstream medical and health science. It is now widely accepted that a high-carb, grain-based diet causes weight gain, fatigue, and illness, medium-to-difficult cardiovascular workouts can compromise health and longevity while increasing the risk of heart disease, and that the consumption of whole food sources of fat and cholesterol offers numerous health benefits rather than leading to heart disease as previously believed. The New Primal Blueprint is presented in a vibrant, full-color format, complete with photographs, graphics, and cartoons, making it an enjoyable, accessible, and memorable read. Join the numerous primal enthusiasts and adopt a new way of life that emphasizes personal responsibility for health, fitness, and happiness. Reject the flawed conventional wisdom that has resulted in fatigue, excess body fat, and elevated disease risk. These issues arise from grain-based eating habits, exhausting exercise routines, sedentary lifestyles, and high-stress existences, all of which misdirect our genes and contribute to illness instead of promoting wellness and longevity. Here is a brief overview of the ten Primal Blueprint laws that will help you effortlessly reprogram your genes towards health, happiness, and longevity: Law #1 - Consume Plants and Animals: Enjoy nutritious and satisfying foods that have fueled human evolution for two million years. Law #2 - Avoid Harmful Substances: Steer clear of toxic modern foods, primarily refined vegetable oils, sugars, and grains, which lead to weight gain, illness, and malnourishment. Law #3 - Stay Active: Enhance fat metabolism, improve cognitive function, and alleviate the stress of chronic cardio through regular aerobic exercise at a comfortable heart rate, increased daily movement, as well as flexibility and mobility activities. Law #4 - Engage in Resistance Training: Brief, intense sessions of functional, full-body resistance exercises promote muscle development, increase bone density, and prevent injuries. Law #5 - Embrace Sprinting: Occasional all-out sprints accelerate fat reduction and stimulate the production of anti-aging hormones. Law #6 - Prioritize Sleep: Optimize sleep by aligning it with your natural circadian rhythm, minimizing exposure to artificial light and digital stimulation in the evening, and creating a calm, dark environment for rest. Adequate sleep supports the proper functioning of the immune system, brain, and endocrine system.
