The ancient Native American is a prime example of good health. They were part man, part animal, and part spirit. Meshing there lives with the earth and living closely to her. Eating the plants that grew wild and hunting the animals that roamed free. Healing there bodies with herbs and strengthening them with normally day to day living. The traveled long distances, moved impossibly slow contracting all there muscles then sprinting while hunting. They climbed, swam, jumped, and carried. There is numerous writings from the first Europeans about how healthy and strong the American Indian was. Running barefoot for 20-30 miles at a time with a load. Being shot in battle multiple times without flinching and dieing still in a sprint.
How do we get our bodies that way. I believe the Native Americans pre European man were close to the pinnacle of evolutionary fitness. So we need to learn from how the lived and mimic it in our modern day. Workouts need to be sporadic, incorporating the whole body. The body needs to be exposed to the elements and strengthen. The body needs to be nourished with whole foods that fuel it and feed it.
More on living like a wild man later.
