Health and Fitness! Tips For (And From) the Modern Caveman: SCAVENGE
Hey all, and welcome to the first Health and
Fitness post of my blog! Now, I'm no doctor, homies. I'm only trying to
share all the things that I find work for me in this crazy world. Please
don't take this as any get-thin-fast weight loss advice. Like anything
in life, you have to work hard to achieve your goals, but that doesn't
mean you can't have fun along the way! SO START READING, AND HAVE FOR
FUN ALREADY, DAMMIT.
Tips For (And From) the Modern Caveman will be updated once a week with a new tip! I could try and cram them all here, but then it would be a WALL OF TEXT and no one would read my shit. So stay tuned, kiddies!
Before you start reading this: stop, get up from wherever you're sitting and go find some food. Any food. Don't EAT the food, just go find it, homies. If you're at home, go look in your pantry or your fridge; if you're at college, head towards the nearest cafe; if you're out to eat, well...look down at your plate.
If I had to venture to guess, I'd say it didn't take you all that long to find yourself some grub. Maybe it's your favorite slice of pizza ever; maybe it's the dessert buffet at the Golden Corral (you piggie); maybe it's what your mom is cooking for dinner tonight and it's making your house smell like FEET. At any rate, the effort that YOU HAD to put into finding that food? Let's face it: you spend more energy taking out the garbage.
That's because in today's world of agriculture, convenience and take out, we humans for the MOST part aren't doing as much work for our food as our ancestors did...
...HISTORY LESSON! (Well, not really...but you may find it useful...)
Paleolithic man (in layman's terms, that's waaaay back in the DAY when mankind started using stone tools 'n shit) had to work pretty hard for his food. He was, you know, trapping birds and small game animals, getting up at the ass-crack of dawn to hunt down larger game, finding whatever berries and nuts and roots were growing out of the ground and so on an so forth. When was the last time YOU killed your own cow to make your hamburger, or dug around in the dirt for a potato? Huh? Probably NEVER, that's right. Not that you should feel bad about it; that's just the way our species has evolved: everything is about convenience.
We've convinced ourselves that our lives are too busy to eat healthy. We have too much to do that stop for an hour or so and think about what we put in our bodies. BECAUSE DUCK DYNASTY IS ON! OH MY GOD WE HAVE TO GET TO A TV NOW!
Does this sound like someone you know? Does it sound like YOU? Then keep reading, because I'll point out a few things that not only won't be as hard to try out as you think, but fool, they WORK!
Here's some background info on me first: I'm 5'6" tall and I'm a Florida resident and native. This means I expel 90% of my body's supply of water by sweating it out when I go to get the mail before noon. I have no car, so I pretty much walk EVERYWHERE. I like walking. It's great exercise, it's fun, it clears my head and it gives me a chance to really appreciate where I live. I think I'll make that my first tip: START WALKING. See how much better your life gets!
Now that you know a bit about me, I can explain that I am accustomed to this sort of exercise and subsequent lifestyle. This won't work the same for everyone, but it WILL WORK. You just have to put forth some effort. Some of you live in colder climates, which can make it both easier and harder to get around on your own to feets, or even find the types of food I'm going to recommend. The point is not to adhere to these tips directly; the point is to apply it them to your life in any way you can! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN, GUYS.
So on to the Official First Tip: Become One With Your Inner Scavenger
Stop to examine the ways you eat. Are you a fast food drive-thru-er? A fridge dweller? A pizza orderererer? These methods of obtaining food are not the best way to seek out nutrition to put into your body. You may find good things in your fridge, but I bet your DROVE to the store to buy them. You may order a small thin crust pizza but you DRIVE to pick it up or even worse: have it delivered. And the drive thru is the laziest invention ever!
Start small. Plan your next meal by deciding to walk to seek it out. If you normally drive to get food on your lunch break at work, find somewhere within walking distance and pick the healthiest thing on the menu. Compile a list of what you want to eat, then walk to the store or farmer's market to buy it, then find a nice setting like a park to eat your meal. Or tell your family that you'll all be WALKING to the Golden Corral tonight. Whatever your day looks like, if you can: walk to seek out your food. This not only aids in your overall goal of weight loss, but it gives you the satisfaction of seeking out a specific thing (i.e, the food) and obtaining it for yourself. You WORKED to get there, you scavenger, you!
So try that one out for starters and see what happens! If you want, you could try it once a week and try to form a habit! I promise you, it'll make you change the way you look at food! Suddenly that pizza doesn't sound so great; I mean, who wants to hoof it home carrying a heavy-ass greasy box? This simple first step may make you fundamentally change the way you look at food!
Leave some comments, you cavemen!!!
