8 health tips from world peoples

Nature peoples
 was very interested in the traditionally living nature peoples and their knowledge of plants. With his open and inquisitive attitude, he easily made friends and went out with the local medicine man. In this way he discovered - for him - new medicinal plants and applications. he has written many nice stories about this. In that book, for example, he gives healthy tips when you are in the tropics; eat for example a lot of papaya and especially the seeds, these can protect you against parasites. Some of the medicinal plants that he discovered during his travels are still processed in A. products. Like the devil's claw from Africa in the tablets and of course the famous flower from Central America in the .

Every time stayed with nature peoples, he noticed how healthy and strong these people were. He saw strong white teeth and an absence of other diseases and symptoms that occur in the West, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, insomnia, depression, acne, obesity and so on. His vision on health also expanded further through these insights.

Even today, more and more scientists are looking for answers to modern clinical pictures in the - albeit increasingly less - traditionally living societies.
A number of things have people who live in one and the same way in nature and they can also promote your health and happiness:

Eat naturally
Even though the diet of traditionally living peoples varies enormously, they have one thing in common. Everything they eat comes from nature and not from a package or bag with E-numbers or bottle of soda full of sugar and glucose-fructose syrup. If you are in the supermarket the next time you see that you are a hunter-gatherer. What do you encounter with fresh vegetables, fruit, mushrooms, nuts, eggs and fish to fill your basket?

Follow the rhythm of nature
It is sometimes wonderful to watch TV or Facebook on your phone until late at night, but it is not good for your night's sleep. If you've ever camped, you'll probably remember how you went to bed earlier and woke up when the sun came up. Certain hormone processes in our body are linked to the light of the sun. And a good night's sleep is absolutely essential for your health. Make it a habit to get 7 or 8 hours of sleep per night, your body and mood will thank you.

Be part of a 'clan'
We humans are social beings and need others for our happiness and well-being. That is why we used to live in tribes. Be aware of your 'clan' and enjoy the loved ones around you whether that is your family and / or friends. They are there for you in good and bad days. And that is worth a lot.

Move
It is hard work to gather and collect your own food. Traditionally living people move many hours a day. Walk or cycle as often as you can, take the stairs and try to do strength training once or twice a week.

Less is more
It's nice to have stuff, but the more you have it, the more they can become a block on your leg. You quickly fall into a trap of having, having. The entire advertising world is ready to make you believe that you never have enough. But there is beauty in simplicity. Loosen yourself from having stuff and be grateful for what you already have. The most beautiful things in life such as love and laughter are free.

Live in the here and now
Your thoughts almost never live in the here and now, they are constantly planning, planning and thinking about yesterday, tomorrow and next year. While true life takes place in the here and now. Use your senses and become aware of your body, your breathing, your environment and what your senses pick up. It makes you alert and calm.

Marvel at nature
Even though you live in the city, nature is always there. In the air around you, the weeds between the stones, the birds in the tree, your pet, that unexpected rainstorm. Consider the nature around you and what a wonder it is that everything grows and blooms and every day the sun rises for nothing.

Make music or listen to music
Music can touch you, comfort you, make you happy or calm. The effect can even be seen on brain scans. Singing, dancing, drumming: almost all nature peoples do it. And you can do it too! Sing in the car or at home, listen to music or play an instrument. Music lowers stress and deepens your life.
