First I will explain why I chose this book, “ Go Wild” by John Ratey and Richard Manning..
It isn’t as complex as others may have been. Next, I will give an overview of two of the main ideas presented in this book. How civilization, and more importantly, agriculture, has made us sick, and how a lack of sleep will make you fat, sick, and stupid. As the title indicates, going
Wild means to go back to our Hunter-Gatherer days in what we eat, how we exercise, sleep, and become closer to nature.
The Choice of the Book
When given the choice of two books to read, I really had no previous knowledge of either one. I did realize that I needed to make a decision quick, because the course was starting in one week, and I needed to get the book I chose ordered. …show more content…
Carbohydrates are converted into glucose quickly, and fats slowly. This causes our bodies to use the glucose from carbohydrates, and the rest becomes fat around the mid section. They have claimed that 75% of all human nutrition derives from carbohydrates, rice, wheat, corn, and
Made to be Healthy potatoes. The authors have also claimed that “ maybe 80 percent of what ails us, is simple: it is
3
glucose and glucose alone”. This statement , and the following information had a hue impact on me. As I thought about what they were saying, I was thinking about what I was eating, as well as those around me. The more I thought about what I ate, I started to realize I was eating a lot of carbohydrates. I love pasta, and potatoes in evry shape and form, sandwiches, and even the tea I was drinking was sweet tea. I have told my wife that we need more vegetables, and less rice, pasta and potatoes. I now drink unsweeten tea. I am going “Wild”.
How much Sleep Do I Need
In this book the authors interview Robert Strickhold, one of the world’s leading researchers on sleep. He had said, “If you don’t get enough sleep, you are going to end up fat, sick, and stupid”. Lack of sleep causes insulin resistance which cause increase in food consumption.
