Our ancestors knew all the secrets of health and longevity in different regions are different, but perfectly practiced.
How our ancestors lived? Their living conditions are very different from today.

Virtually everything we need, today, can be obtained without making almost no effort: sometimes you can even get up from the bed not. But do not forget that for millions of years, our genome evolved in a state of ongoing stress, because the man was in a constant search for food.
We can say that the body requires regular physical activity in order to survive! Unfortunately, few of us today is respected by his desire. There is a natural relationship between nutrition and physical activity, which is currently broken (for the first time in the history of mankind!).
Today we live in a world never before abundance of cheap calories. The ever-growing and ever more affordable proposal calories accompanied by ever falling demand for them (no need to walk, run, do not need, you can work while sitting at one place, and even farmers are now sitting on their tractors). Naturally, that excess calories lead to obesity and health problems.
Draw conclusions, gentlemen! Our ancestors ate less and move more!
How often and when people ate a day? In my opinion, everything depends on the human biological clock. But there are different traditions and wisdom, so for example, in Eastern medicine compulsory breakfast meal. Since it fanned the morning "digestive fire" that ensures the normal functioning of the body.

So, our ancestors ate less, less and move more!
Another important factor for the answer to these questions is what we eat. What our ancestors ate? This is probably the biggest reason that our ancestors could move a lot, and at the same time a little and rarely have!
They ate the "quality food" natural that saturate their body with all the nutrients and provide energy for a long time. Our ancestors had no flavor additives, flavors, was not refined products, antibiotics, hormones, anxiolytics, pesticides, GMOs, excess protein and fat. What kind of water they drink? Did they have a beer in the evening, chocolate with coffee for breakfast?
Since our ancient ancestors and had no idea of any of the tables for counting calories or the chemical composition of food, nature has taught them according to the true needs of the organism, that is just enough to satisfy and energy, and biochemical hunger. Today, however, this natural wise strategy has led to the emergence of the so-called boomerang effect.
Today's daily diet sovermennogo urban man, despite the high caloric content, is not able to cover our need for vitamins and minerals. So many of us almost constantly feel hungry and continue to eat as long as the stomach anything fit.
Thus, while the body is not getting all the vital substances can be "vechnogolodnym" regularly consume up to 3000 calories (or even more!). But others on the contrary, do not receive the necessary material, and the body as in the old days requires quite a bit of food, such people do not experience hunger, and at the same time the body is experiencing a constant shortage of vital nutrients. Such people are very thin, eat very little and suffer from different diseases.
To get enough to eat and the food we need to eat quality food that is minimally processed or not fully processed. This food should be as simple, and as little as possible can be mixed with each other. In our difficult time, when almost no net land and water where everything is grown for what would make and sell quickly, you need to be cautious when choosing what we buy, what saturate your body and what we feed our children.
We eat a lot and get little. Look for sources of quality food, grow and cook for themselves. Fractional or frequent meals in small portions negatively affect hormonal balance, a constant acid attack on the teeth, it bezpereryvnaya work on the body's digestion.

Movement, fresh air, sunshine, laughter, friends, contact with nature, plants and animals, the correct mode of the day, drinking regime, healthy and quality food, the right attitude towards life, a deep sleep, a lot of live food: herbs, fruits and vegetables , eating raw nuts and seeds, fresh sprouts and juice - all this is one of our holistic range of health and beauty
