Here are the recommendations from the Wikipedia page on Paleolithic lifestyle [1]:
- Adopt a Paleolithic diet as much as possible: plenty of fruit,
fish, vegetables, nuts, and meat while avoiding most forms of
food not in existence in paleolithic time. It implies avoiding
all processed food, and in particular junk food and food with a
high glycemic load, such as sweets and cultivated crops like
potatoes and cereal grains (in particular wheat).
- Exercise frequently, but with a variety of durations and
intensities (including rest periods) rather than doing always
the same, extended routines in a gym or while jogging.
- Perform a variety of complex "natural movements" (e.g. walking,
running, jumping, crawling, climbing, carrying, throwing,
swimming) that use the whole body rather than artificially
constrained exercises that focus on specific muscles (like those
afforded by most gym equipment).
- Maximize contact with nature, e.g. by keeping plants, gardening,
working with animals, hiking in the woods, or climbing trees (as
also proposed by the biophilia philosophy).
- Use a minimum of clothes and don't wear shoes: exposure to heat,
cold, pressure, and other natural forces strengthens rather than
weakens the body.
- Expose yourself regularly to the sun or at least to natural
light, to get sufficient vitamin D and prevent depression.
- Try to sleep at least 8 hours a day, preferably in line with
natural day-night rhythms (though people in pre-industrial
societies do not sleep in contiguous blocks - see anthropology
of sleep and segmented sleep).
- Spend sufficient time relaxing, playing, and just "being in the
present", without worrying about later.
- Reduce overall levels of stress; avoid overworking in favor of
downshifting and simple living.
- Allow contact with dirt: soil contains plenty of beneficial
bacteria that strengthen immunity. Eat fermented foods like
sauerkraut, kim chi, kombucha, etc. Lifelong exposure to a
variety of microbes may actually be necessary to prevent
allergies and autoimmune diseases, as proposed by the hygiene
hypothesis.
- Rear children the way hunter-gatherers do: extended
breast-feeding, carrying of babies on the body, co-sleeping,
while allowing older children to play and explore
autonomously.
- Sit with legs level with rear end (essentially, in the squatting
position), as people in indigenous tribes do.
- Socialize and interact closely with a small group of real
friends, instead of staying alone or "networking" with thousands
of superficial acquaintances.
