This is Mark Sisson.

The world’s fittest 71 y/o who proves aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down.

His secret? Years of combining evolutionary biology and modern biohacking methods.

Here’s his 10-step anti-aging blueprint that anyone can follow: 🧵

Mark released this blueprint back in 2006.

His message?

Our modern diet has strayed far from that of our primal ancestors, and as a consequence, our health is suffering.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of his 10 primal blueprint laws:

1. Eat lots of plants and animals

The Standard American Diet has it backwards:

• Low in fats
• High in carbs

But scientific data proves this diet causes excessive insulin production, excess body fat, and can lead to metabolic disease.

Here are his primal blueprint foods:

2. Avoid poisonous things

Do your best to avoid chemical toxins in your foods and on your skin:

• Refined sugar
• Mercury in fish
• Processed grains
• Hydrogenated fats
• Refined vegetable oils

3. Move around a lot at a slow pace

2-5 hours of weekly low-level aerobic activity is the best way to burn excess fat and regulate blood sugar levels.

Walking, hiking, yoga, swimming, gardening.

What about running?

Mark explains why running isn’t the answer for fat loss:

4. Sprint once in a while

On the other hand, sprinting is the best way to lose excess fat.

Sprinting every 7 to 10 days also:

• Boosts your mood
• Improves insulin sensitivity
• Increases the secretion of human growth hormone

5. Get adequate sleep

Quality sleep is essential for good health.

While you sleep, your body uses this time to:

• Reorganize nerve cells
• Improve brain function
• Heal wounds and repair cells

6. Play

The modern lifestyle has become so productivity-focused that we forgot about small, enjoyable moments.

Play helps to reduce stress, improve mood, and strengthen social bonds.

This can be playing sports with your kids, cards with your friends, or simply messing around.

Lift heavy things

The idea behind lifting heavy things is to mimic the movements that were part of our ancestors’ everyday life

These movements are:

• Pulling
• Pushing
• Twisting
• Jumping
• Squatting

Perform it 2-3x a week for 30-45 min.

8. Get adequate sunlight

Modern advice is to avoid the sun at all costs because it burns us.

The problem?

Depletion of vitamin D that’s crucial for our immune system.

9. Avoid stupid mistakes

Do your best to eliminate self-destructive behaviors by:

• Wearing seat belts
• Not smoking or taking drugs
• Not diving into shallow water

These may seem like a no-brainer, but are still causes of many unnecessary deaths or injuries.

10. Use your brain

Brain health is just as important as your physical health.

But Modern society makes us prone to be lazy and not use our brains. - make it better

No wonder the number of people with Alzheimer’s and dementia is rising.
