Revolutions, Health and Happiness

Over the last few millennia, humans have undergone three major revolutions:

1. The Agricultural Revolution

2. The Industrial Revolution

3. The Information Technology Revolution

Each of these milestones has led to a significant deviation from the lifestyle for which we have evolved.

The Agricultural Revolution brought about a drastic change in diet, which subsequently led to diseases and ill health. Counteract this by embracing a diet reminiscent of our Paleolithic ancestors.

The Industrial Revolution resulted in a significant reduction in physical activity. Offset this by integrating habits of our cavemen ancestors, like walking and running a few miles every day.

The Information Technology Revolution has transformed the way we communicate and interact with each other. Mitigate its adverse effects by limiting your use of social media and prioritizing human-to-human interaction as our ancestors did – through face-to-face communication
