What people are saying
The discussions collectively express strong agreement with the article’s conclusion that high activity levels in traditional societies are linked to excellent heart health, with mentions of specific activity durations and low cholesterol or blood pressure reinforcing this view. The tone is one of admiration and curiosity, reflecting a high interest and perceived significance of the findings.
Most discussions acknowledge the study’s findings that traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyles promote cardiovascular health, as evidenced by comments about low cholesterol and high activity levels supporting the study’s claims.
The posts demonstrate high curiosity, with many sharing detailed metrics on physical activity durations and biomarker findings, indicating strong engagement with the research's implications.
Discussion participants reference specific data points, such as activity times and blood biomarkers, and discuss their relevance, showing deep engagement with the study's methodology and conclusions.
Participants highlight the potential influence of these findings on health practices and understanding modern vs. traditional lifestyles, emphasizing that the study could shape future health recommendations.
Abstract in brief
- This study examines how the traditional hunting and gathering lifestyle of the Hadza in Tanzania involves high levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), which are linked to good cardiovascular health.
- Despite modern societies being more sedentary, the Hadza maintain high activity levels and show low levels of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and poor biomarkers, supporting the idea that physical activity is crucial for heart health.
- The findings suggest that the shift from active lifestyles to sedentary ones in industrialized societies may contribute to increased cardiovascular disease risk, highlighting the importance of physical activity for maintaining cardiovascular health based on our evolutionary history.

How to Exercise like a Hunter-Gatherer (Hadza): HEART RATE RANGE (% of HRmax): min per day Light (40–54%): 222 min Moderate (55–69%): 115 min Vigorous (70–89%): 20 min High (>90%): 4 min https://t.co/eouHj51miZ
It is fascinating how many Hadza men have total serum cholesterol so low it is not precisely measurable using a standard blood test. https://t.co/Q0rz0SjVTG https://t.co/RBYCxwDIOB
The correct answer is: Approximately 2 to 4 hours per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity.

@mattchewone @Alan_Couzens Found the abstract here https://t.co/VeDFsCJLga Seems like they are locked into around two hours of moderate physical activity per day, regardless of gender *and* age. IIRC, MVPA -> less than 75% max hr https://t.co/gBQXrq7xNm
@theproof @CarnivoreMD @AviBittMD @CarnivoreMD I know you refer to the health of the Hadza, but it appears their LDL is quite low… curious why you favor high LDL over low? Ref: Physical activity patterns and biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in hunter-gatherers

thank you @HermanPontzer & the team. I finally got to science library & by golly most of the labs have been done on the Hadza "Physical activity patterns and biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in hunter-gatherers" American J of Human Biology
