Are we fighting thousands of years of evolutionary history and the best interests of our bodies when we sit all day?
- at the core of – w centrum (tutaj: jest przedmiotem/ tematem …)
- cardiovascular health – zdrowie układu naczyniowego
- tribe – szczep/ plemię
- hunter-gatherers – łowcy/ zbieracze
- be in motion – być w ruchu
That question is at the core of a fascinating new study of the daily lives and cardiovascular health of a modern tribe of hunter-gatherers. The findings strongly suggest that we are born to be in motion with health consequences when we are not.
- they were set – były ustalone
- mismatch – konflikt / niezgodność / niedopasowanie
- well-established – jasne / ustalonew / poznane
- point out – wskazać / wskazywać
- gain weight – przybrać na wadze
- develop health related problems – rozwinąć problemy związane ze zdrowiem
Evolutionary biologists have long believed that the basic structure of human bodies and genomes were set tens of thousands of years ago, when we were hunter-gatherers. But we no longer live in a hunting and gathering world. Mostly we live in offices and in front of screens, where we sit and have food brought to us. The health consequences of this mismatch are well-established. Many scientists have pointed out that the easy availability of food creates an obesity-friendly world, in which we easily gain weight and develop related health problems.
- heart-rate monitors – urządzenia monitorujące pracę serca
- moderate exercise – umiarkowany wysiłek / ćwiczenia
- vigorous exercise – intensywny wysiłek / ćwiczenia
But we have not really known just how much physical activity may be natural for us. Researchers from Yale University, the University of Arizona asked some of the tribespeople if they would wear heart-rate monitors around their chests. The scientists focused on heart rates since most modern recommendations about exercise involve intensity. We are told that we should aim for at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise.
- determine – określać
- formula based on age – wzór oparty na wieku
- data prove … – dane udowadniają …
- briskly – żwawo
The simplest way to determine exercise intensity is with heart rate. By most definitions, moderate exercise raises someone’s heart rate to between 55 and 69 percent of that person’s maximum heart rate, while vigorous exercise raises it to between 70 and 89 percent. Maximum heart rate can be calculated from a formula based on age. They moved a lot, the data proved, typically being active for more than two hours every day. The men would walk briskly throughout most days. The women would find, dig up, gather and prepare fruits, vegetables and other foods.
- the vast majority of this activity – zdecydowana większość tej aktywności
- moderate – umiarkowany
- remain active – pozostawać / nadal być aktywnym
- enviable heart health – zdrowie serca godne pozazdroszczenia
- across life span – przez całe życie
The vast majority of this activity was moderate. The tribespeople rarely ran or were otherwise vigorously active. They remained active, too, well into middle and old age, with those tribespeople in their 70s moving as much as or even more than the young. Perhaps most important, the tribespeople also had enviable heart health. The scientists found that the Hadza tribe typically showed low blood pressure and excellent cholesterol profiles across their life spans, even deep into old age.
