Name：Evolving Health: The Origins of Illness and How the Modern World is Making Us Sick Catalog:Book Release:15 April, 2002 Manufacturer:Wiley SalesRank:221911 Usually ships in 11 to 13 days This is a fascinating book, written in clear, lucid, and descriptive prose, and written for the non-specialist and specialist alike, exploring the impact of evolution on health and disease. The book introduces "evolutionary medicine" to help the reader make informed choices about his or her own health. No one who wants to live a long, healthy life can afford to ignore the important insights gleaned from evolution in this book. What worked when we were hunter-gatherers on the African savannas no longer works in modern society, and the changes in our modern environments have caused Homo sapiens to adapt poorly. One of the key evolutionary concepts is an entity's adaptation to its environment: When all the body's organs and systems are operating optimally under the ideal evolutionary environments, both internally and externally, our bodies are concordant. When our bodies are out of sync with either environment, they begin to fail, and our bodies become discordant. The former ! is homeostasis and health, the latter is disease and dysfunction. After a very short introduction to the essential Darwinian concepts, excellently and easily recapitulated, the author turns to the seventeen stages of human evolutionary development, beginning with prokaryotes as stage one and ending with Homo sapiens as stage seventeen millions of years later, and describing all the intermediary stages in between. Although not difficult, it's the only place where the reader might become pensive, if not impatient, thinking the author is off course. But the key to understanding the rest of the book depends on understanding the material presented in Chapter Two. Here are some of the insights in columnar outline: LEVEL OF EVOLUTION,ADAPTIVE FAILURE, CONSEQUENCE Pre-life, Environmental poisons, Birth defects Single cell, Viral infection, Cold/Flu/HIV Morula (sponge-like), Cellular stress, Cancer Chordate, Physical stress, Back pain Fish, Excess dietary salt, Heart disease Amph! ibian, Tobacco smoke, Lung disease Lower primate, Excess dieta! ry sugar , Diabetes mellitus Higher primate, Vitamin C deficiency, Scurvy Ape, Excess dietary protein, Gout Homo sapiens, Reduced dietary variety, Allergies This is a partial list. Each of the seventeen stages co-exist in humans; this complexity is both to our advantage, and can be our downfall. Understanding how each stage of evolution works within us unlocks a wealth of information. Obviously, the emphasis is on prevention, not treatment, although there are constructive, non-medical, non-surgical options discussed. Some of the ideas are extremely valuable and helpful, others are highly speculative and dubious. For example, one particularly difficult concept advocated by Boaz is a return to a Paleo Diet that is high in animal products (especially gamey meats), while avoiding indigestible beans, grains, and dairy. It might be the "ideal" diet, but it's an impossible one to follow, and even more difficult to find. Still, the insights can help guide one to nutrition from an evolution! ary perspective. The chapter on our musculoskeletal system was by far my favorite; I suffer from many of the system's dysfunctions, and now realize why. I knew it was a failure to adapt, but exactly how was new to me. Nearly every anatomical and physiological system is evaluated in evolutionary terms. I'd run out of space just outlining them. Suffice it to say, this is not the only book on evolutionary medicine. This new field is literally exploding. Certainly an excellent alternative is Randolph Nesse's and George Williams' "Why We Get Sick: The New Science of Darwinian Medicine." Both are equally competent and informative, the only difference is a matter of style and approach. Take a look at both books and find the one that suits your temperament best. I truly enjoyed both. Ignore either to your health's detriment. CustomerReview by amazon

Evolution_Diet The Evolution Diet is a diet devised by Joseph Stephen Breese Morse from 2002-2005. It involves eating "what and how we were designed to eat." The main principles are:* eat low sugar, high dietary fiber foods in small quantities but often throughout the day* eat healthy high energy foods ''only before and during exercise''* eat high protein foods after exercise and before restBenefits are said to include getting to and maintaining one's ideal weight, consistently good sleep, balanced energy, more motivation. ''The Evolution Diet'' is also a book, published in 2005 by CoDe Publishing and printed at lulu.com. The book stresses the importance of natural human physiology and bases the diet on how a cultureless human would eat. The eating plan has similarities with the Paleolithic diet and Natural Foods Diet, however the Evolution Diet stresses ''when'' to eat certain foods, not just what foods to eat. Also The Evolution Diet allows for modern foods that have similar propert! ies to natural foods, not just foods that were available before agriculture. quote Wikipedia - Article - History - License:GFDL
