Eat Like an Indian - Synopsis:
Do you, like most people, feel like you have to have a
“scientist” approve of everything you eat? We like to think of
ourselves as civilized, regarding people before us as living “nasty,
brutish and short” lives. But was that really always so? This is
straight dietary and nutritional information you need to survive and
hold on to your health in today's world of conflicting medical and
nutritional claims made by people whose only real interest is
corporate or personal profit.
This is is an unabashedly non-scientific, well written
document with extensive references. If you're looking for a
lightweight diet book that will magically cure your problems, good
luck. This is for people who want a lifelong permanent handle on
nutrition. This edition
includes important new material for the serious or not-so-serious
athlete. It's based on years of personal experience by the author, a
lifelong athlete, as well as uncounted years of experimentation by
indigenous peoples in their laboratory ─ nature. While thousands of
books have been written about the Indians, no one has ever paid
serious attention to how their lifestyle affected their wellbeing.
While there is nothing
complicated about what the Indians ate, you won't find this
information, some of which has been rescued from oblivion, in one
place anywhere else. The only complicated aspect of this is learning
what to avoid. The idea is simply that if you think you can learn
something about the “Paleo Diet” from most publications claiming
to discuss it, think again. They mostly seem to conjure up some vague
mythical cave society from 30,000 years ago in Europe and fill in the
blanks in their knowledge with some pretty creative “Paleo”
ideas, such as, for example, one writer who recommends only
artificial sweeteners and “lean meat”, as if that's what cave men
ate.
But real Paleo societies existed in our “backyard”
until we destroyed them 150 years ago. And we can still study that
much more accurately than trying to reconstruct European paleo tribal
cultures which disappeared with the advent of agriculture over 7,000
years ago. While we can't actually live like real traditional Indians
today, there are major benefits to approximating their diet. Follow the link above to buy the

Run Like an Indian - Synopsis:
In spite of all the recent interest in rediscovering our
prehistoric abilities to run barefoot, or with minimal footwear,
runners today who talk about going back to these basics haven't
actually done much investigation into cultures which have historic
records of the importance and techniques of running, the way their
people did it.
We can learn more than most realize from the Native Americans, who
preserved a unique window onto the distant prehistoric past of the
human race for those who are willing to take the time to look. Using
their insights and a little ingenuity and willingness to improvise,
you can rediscover running ability that you never suspected you have.
And if you are like many who have tried running barefoot and cannot
do it for various reasons, this can show you how they overcame the
problems, or how you can get the same performance without going
barefoot and without the injuries.
This book is based on the author's forty-five years of experience
as a runner combined with research into the subject with an eye for a
few things that might not have jumped out at the original writers on
these subjects.
