The Paleo lifestyle is hot right now and that interest
has created quite a number of books such as Your Primal Body: The Paleo Way
to Living Lean, Fit, and Healthy at Any Age by Mikki Reilly. The idea
in this book is to find the inner healthy body you have and get that going once
again. When you are doing things the way you genetically are meant to do
things, your health in all aspects will improve. The book is primarily broken
into three parts that discuss why our ancestors did when they did, the 5 step
program of this book, and how you can do it for a lifetime.
“Part 1: The Primal Body: Our Genetic Inheritance” begins the book
after a forward by Dr. Art De Vany as well as a four page introduction guide to
the book from the author. This section explains that like our cave ancestors, our
best choice food wise is a diet that is low carb with high protein and the
right kind of fats. The right way to lose weight, exercise, and to live
healthier as well as longer as one reverses the aging process are some of the
topics covered in the three chapters of Part I.
“Part II: The 5-Step Primal Body Program” consists
of five chapters beginning on page 49. “Chronic
Inflammation” is a problem for many people and how to stop it by the right
eating leads off tis section. Not only does the author go through the myths on
various things, she also provides detailed information on what to eat and what
to avoid. She also suggests what supplements should be taken as well as what
ones should be avoided. Also included here is information on how to obtain pain
free muscle movement, specific exercises and techniques to help restore
movement and flexibility, building muscles, and increasing your metabolic rate.
A number of exercises are explained in the chapter of this section and the text
is accompanied by small black and white pictures depicting the movements.
“Part III: Putting It All Together: Your Primal Body
Plan For Lifelong Health and Fitness” is all about taking all the information
you have gotten in the book and coming up with your own plan uniquely suited to
you. The author explains how to do that starting on page 151 with suggestions
on eating with meal plans and recipes, exercise and duration suggestions, and
basic information designed to help you stay on the lifestyle.
The book concludes with various appendices devoted
to resources, books and works cited, along with a conversion chart. Also
included is multi-page index.
Your
Primal Body: The Paleo Way to Living Lean, Fit, and Healthy at Any Age

lifestyle. Written by a former body builder and certified fitness trainer with
