I'm not read on Paleo, but everything else you've said is true and I've read on most of the topics and threads outlined here in different places, I will definitely check out what is listed since I'm not having the full picture covered and I've struggling a bit with some health problems, caused exactly by lack of powerful nutrition and lowering of my capacity because of years of sitting on my ass and milking my balls :| the good side is that I'm a active athlete most of the time, but as you've outlined above it does have some drawbacks, still I'd rather go out for half of the day and walk, go training, go running when it's not 40o and so on then sit on my ass, trying to figure out how to control the massive leaks, spending time as a "victim" of circumstances.
Social life and time in nature is the best medicine, I'd like to continue the talk on water, and everything listed here, in fact if you open @lifeworship 's blog you can find a post on hart is not a pump that is quite informative and a good way to start off with that talk, I've been meaning to link to a few materials I've watched previously, since I'd like a different set of opinions on water, crystals and a few other ideas I've run past. But I'm still to link everything together, I've done it once but I'd like to get lifeworship on board too, you seem massively interested.
Walking is great and I agree, but walking is a minimum and as I've said yeah weight training is great, I'm just used to different routines, and I find many positive aspects, but it's a vast topic and nutrients, nervous, cardio systems of the body the interconnectedness of it all is a great topic.
Sorry for cutting i short, I hope we can build on this conversation again another time :)
Well, according to Kruse, and I think that those who have done ok on Paleo diets will tell you, regarding the business of health and fitness, that maybe 80% of fitness is about having enough of the right nutrients for growth, maybe 15% is exercise, and slow cardio exercise is NOT good for you, because it reduces your adaptability. This is how the 'hard exercise' paleo theory works.
Once you expand the ceiling on your strength and speed and reflexes, you can simply, when needed, sustain a lower level for a longer time. Running, especially in typical mainstream running shoes, is actually very damaging to the body. Hard exercise can cause more acute injuries, but it also leads to more rapid development - as you probably know, muscles grow because you tear them, and light cardio does not tear muscles, it compresses bones and cartilage and wears out joints, and increases oxidative free radicals, because this type of sustained exercise requires a big surplus of available energy.
Also, if your body is permanently stuck in sugar metabolism mode, you will find it difficult for your muscles to adapt properly to drawing more energy from glycogen, which sets the ceiling which makes the marathon the longest sustained cardio exercise that a human can do, in fact, it often is beyond the limits, and the muscles actually decay from doing it regularly because of running out of glycogen and needing to manufacture more, without enough available material to make it, leads to autophagy (consuming one's own cells).
The paleo hard-exercise route for developing fitness is the most reliable method of training the muscles to accumulate maximum optimal glycogen, and once that's fixed, you can run a half marathon easily.
I have to also point out, that exercise, without addressing the metabolic/dietary issues, actually depletes the immune system. Even resistance exercise does this if you push too hard, simply, the immune system will lose some of its resources for fighting infection, instead applying them to repairing the damaged tissues, and then you get sick.
I personally hate exercising in summer, with the exception of swimming, and I'm not really a water baby at all, I'm a bit like a cat, sorta have to fight my instinct to flee from cold and suffocating things.
You will learn a lot from reading Kruse's blog. He explains why sometimes paleo does not work, when carbs are ok, and such a comprehensive model of evolutionary quantum biology that will make your brain melt.
OH, and I have some experience with training without adequate diet. When I was in remand for 7 months, stuck in a box with 4 other people all the time, one of the things I started doing was a full bodyweight resistance training and flexibility program. I hit a brick wall with the weight training, because simply, there wasn't enough proteins and fats in my diet (especially fats) to allow my muscles to actually grow. Several of my cellmates during that time also were very interested in exercise as well, and I remember specifically this macedonian coke smuggler/dealer guy I was in with for 3 months (he was one of the best cellmates I had over 12 months inside) he said that diet is the most important factor, given that you are actually doing the exercise...
