Better use of feet, forks and fingers - and that's what - could reduce our personal lifetime risk for heart disease, cancer, stroke, severe respiratory disease or diabetes by about 80 percent. The same behavior could slash both the human and financial costs of chronic disease in the implementation of our children's future and the fate of our nation danger. Feet, forks and fingers not only represent behaviors that we have the means to control, they represent control, we have the resources to the behavior of our genes powers itself.
Feet, forks and fingers could redesign our own medical destinies and modern public health, dramatically for the better. We have known this for decades. So why does not this happen?
Because a lot more in the way. For starters, there are 6 million years of evolutionary biology. Throughout all of human history, calories were previously relatively rare and hard to get, and physical activity - in the form of survival - was inevitable. Only in modern times we have developed a world that is in physical activity to get tight and difficult, and calories are unavoidable. We are adapted to the former and have no native defense against the latter.
Then there are about 12,000 years of human civilization. Since the dawn of agriculture, the less we use our big homo sapiens brain and imagination to the challenges of the rich production of our food growing, stable and tasty, and the demands on our muscles always. With the advent of modern agricultural methods and labor saving technologies in any concept, we have succeeded beyond our wildest expectations.
So now that we are victims of our own success. Obesity and related chronic diseases could be also called "sexs" - "the syndrome of excessive success.
