What is the Missing Human Manual All About?
Do you want to age well? Most of us do. If you are my age, 60, this is more important a question that if you are 30. But most of us would not wish to have heart disease, cancer, dementia when we get old.
Most of us think it is normal that we will get ill like this.
But science today tells us that this is not "Normal". Our evolutionary past designed us to be active and fit until we drop dead. Why? Because raising human children takes so long. Mature adults had to do most of the hard work enable us to invest up to 25 years in our kids.
We are designed by our evolution to reach a plateau of fitness in mid life. So why do most of us not live like this?
We don't because, we have strayed away from the best way of living that fits our evolution best. Our culture has got too far ahead of our biology. We eat foods that make us ill. We have lost our social identity and power and that makes us ill. And we have lost touch with the circadian rhythms of the Natural World, and that has made us ill too.
We have lost our fit with our true nature.
This site will be a Manual. It will show you what the best fit is. It will show you the science behind this. It will share with you some methods for getting your fit back with your true human nature.
So welcome to the "Missing Human Manual" . I hope that we can help you and I hope that you can help others as a result.

A fat tummy is a sign of visceral fat which is the #1 predictor of heart disease. We have posted about this before here. But here are some charts that help us see the range. It’s not just men either. More here on Mercola’s site:

Hi Rob,
I hope you are well and working on some big project. Sorry, to not see you doing any posts. I find your leads very enlightening.
Have you ever heard of Dr Jack Kruse? He has achieved massive weight lose on the paleo diet. He has developed sometime called “The Quilt”, which is difficult to understand but he explains more in his posts. He has developed a Leptin Rx and CT Rx (Cold Thermogenesis) which gets down to the “how to” but the posts explains the “why”:

His bread crumbs are very hard to follow but if he is right, well, go take a look for yourself. I am still trying to digest his work.
Cheers,

PS: Hungry for healthy bacon? Here is a recipe for salted pork belly. I will post an index of all the recipes on eatkamloops.org next week. These recipes will be good for people on the modified paleo diet:
