A direct Bullseye hit! An article needing to be copied, left on the nightstand and as many passed out to those who are willing to listen.

Much of medicinal products found their origins in plants. Healing properties wrapped in a package of companion plant substances, fiber. Many were distilled, condensed down stripping out everything else but the strongest compound. Now, much more are synthetic chemical versions meant to address never ending symptoms.

Now to attempt to produce healthy lifestyles with a base of chemical free cleanly grown foods, to address and use Health Builders, Dis-Ease Preventers are attacked by intertwined Mammoth Monopolies. Monopolies with many deep pockets to protect their Monopolies. Having the tools to distract, use Fear Porn, whatnot to continue to convince a public to pay no attention to their actual dismal results. (In the States, the highest costs generating the worst results.)

The real health builders and path to possibly create a long life of quality worth living comes from Local Efforts. Make it Real Locally, Keep it Real Locally. Slick, shiny commercials sell images, not substance. Just Sayn'

Early humans pursued their prey slowly but surely for miles and miles until the animal collapsed from heat exhaustion, at which point they harpooned it and ate it for up to a month. This method, called "persistence hunting," was likely practiced by prehistoric hunter-gatherers for nearly two million years. Running long distances was crucial in creating our current upright body shape, according to a new theory. Researchers have suggested that our early ancestors were good endurance runners and that their habit has left its evolutionary mark on our bodies, from our leg joints to our heads.

Aerobic exercise increases the size of the anterior hippocampus. This expansion is linked to improved memory, which mirrors the enhanced learning associated with running activity in animal studies. Greater physical fitness is associated with greater expansion, not only of the hippocampus, but of several other brain regions as well.

Today’s hunter-gatherers offer a window into the level of activity required to live a low-tech life, says Raichlen, who primarily studies the activity levels of the Hadza people in Tanzania, a group of 1,300 who choose to live a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. “We found that the Hadza spend about 75 minutes a day doing moderate to vigorous physical activity,” Raichlen says. “In two days, the Hadza meet the U.S. national weekly activity guidelines.”

The Hadza forage for the same animals and plants that humans have hunted and gathered for millions of years. Importantly, the interplay between humans and microbes that developed here over eons likely shaped aspects of our immune system and made us who we are today. The significance of being in Hadza land was not lost on me.

The high levels of activity and a diet consisting mainly of gathered and hunted foods may be why the Hadza tend to be healthier than Westerners. They also have a relative lack of autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases, and colon cancer, possibly related to the fact that they have much more diverse gut bacteria than we do, according to researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Analysis of the gut microbiome of extant rural populations in Africa and South America has revealed the presence of a common, potentially commensal spirochete belonging to the genus. These spirochetes have also been detected in extant hunter-gatherers and in 1,000-year-old human coprolites from Mexico, but are essentially absent in healthy, ancestral urban populations. Ancient microbiome sources can reveal the extent to which bacteria commonly considered "pathogenic" in the modern world (e.g., H. pylori) were endemic indigenous organisms in pre-industrial microbiomes.

"In ancient cultures, the foods people ate were very diverse and could support the growth and presence of a more eclectic collection of microbes," said Kostic. “But as people move toward industrialization and a more supermarket-based diet, they lose many nutrients that help maintain a more diverse microbiome.”

Ancient microbiomes also had relatively higher numbers of transposases—transposable elements of DNA sequences that can change location within the genome—than modern industrial microbiomes.
