Interactive Lesson - Part B

Hello this is AJ, and welcome to part B of the interactive lessons.

We’re going to do the essay again. This time I will ask questions about some of the phrases. By asking questions I’m helping you get more repetition, so you hear some of the vocabulary more.

When I ask a question, say the answer quickly, and loudly if possible. If you’re in a train or a bus do it quietly, but if you’re at home say your answer loudly.

Also, you can use short answers. Short answers are okay, just one or two or three words, that’s enough. Answering will help you also remember the vocabulary better, it will wake up your brain. It’s a powerful lesson so be sure to answer these questions. Back to the beginning, here we go…

In order to discover which foods or behaviors can have the greatest impact on your genes…

Okay, in order to discover which what can have an impact on your genes?

Foods or behaviors

Do you want to discover foods or behaviors that can have the greatest impact on your what?

Genes. Your genes. Your genetics.

And thus advance you towards better health.

Do you want to find the best food and behavior to help you be healthy?

Yes, you want to find, you want to discover the foods or behaviors that will create the best health for you.

To do this, it’s instructive to look closely at human what?

Evolution. It’s useful, it’s instructive to look closely at human evolution.

Should you look closely at modern human behavior?

No, no. Mark says you shouldn’t look at modern behavior, you should look closely, it’s useful, it’s instructive to look closely at human evolution for the past two million years. He says especially look at the food and exercise habits and lifestyle that sustained evolution, that molded and supported the human genome.

Did food habits and exercise mold the human genome?

Yes. The past eating and exercise habits of our ancestors molded, influenced, shaped the modern human genome.

What molded the modern human genome?

Well, the food and exercise habits of our ancestors. Food and exercise habits, molded and supported the modern human genome; modern human genetics.

Modeling the lifestyle of our hunter/gatherer ancestors will help you become lean, strong, fit, healthy and happy.

Should you ignore the lifestyle of hunter/gatherers or should you imitate the lifestyle of hunter/gatherers?

He says you should imitate the lifestyle of hunter/gatherers. You should model, you should model the lifestyle of our hunter/gatherer ancestors.

Should you model the lifestyle of modern hunter/gatherers?

No, not modern hunter/gatherers, you should model the lifestyle of our hunter/gatherer ancestors, our family from long, long, long, long ago, our ancestors.

When you model the behaviors of our hunter/gatherer ancestors, you will have the ingredients for a life and a body that is lean, strong, fit, healthy and happy.

If you model our ancestors will you be fat or lean?

You’ll be lean. You’ll be thin. If you model our ancestors you will be lean, and also strong and also fit and healthy and happy.

Our ancestors, who were able to survive and what?

Survive and reproduce. Our ancestors were able to survive and reproduce.

So, they were not able to have children?

No, no, no, no, no, they were able to have children. They were able to reproduce. Our ancestors were able to survive and reproduce, have children.

Did our ancestors live in easy environments?

No, no, they didn’t live in easy environments.

What kind of environments did they live in?

Harsh, harsh environments. Difficult, dangerous environments, harsh environments.

Who lived in harsh environments?

Our ancestors. Our ancestors lived in harsh difficult environments.

They were able to reproduce and survive in harsh environments, and they refined and perfected the human genome.

Did they make the human genome, human genetics better or worse?

Better. Better. They made it better. They refined, they improved the human genome, human genetics.

It was classic survival of the fittest. Those who could not adapt died out.

What happened to weak humans long ago?

They died out. They disappeared. They vanished.

Who died out?

Weak humans. Weak humans died out.

When did they die out?

In the past, in the far past, the weak humans died out. The weak and lazy, slow, and stupid died out.

Their genetics were lost forever.

Whose genetics, whose genetic attributes were lost forever?

The weak. The weak human’s genetic attributes, genetic traits were lost forever.

Today, your genes, your genetics, your DNA want you, expect you to eat a certain way.

To what else?

To engage in exercise.

Do your genes want you to do exercise?

Yes. Your genes, your genetics want you to do exercise, to engage in exercise.

Do you need to engage in extensive low level movement?

Yeah. You need to engage in extensive – means a lot – of low level movement.

Do you need to engage in extensive – a lot – low level movement or short, brief, high intensity workouts?

Well, both. You need to do both. Your genetics want you to do both, because our ancestors did both. They engaged in extensive – a lot of – low level movement – such as walking. They also engaged in – did – brief, high intensity workouts; high intensity exercise. So you need to do both low level easy movements and also, brief, very difficult workouts.

We may all rejoice, we may all be happy in winning the survival of the fittest battle.

Are we now at the top or bottom of the food chain?

The top. We are at the top of the food chain. We are the top animals, nobody eats us, not usually. We eat everybody else.

So we are at the top of the food chain. We have a lofty perch. We have a high chair on top of the food chain. A high platform on top of the food chain.

So we’re at the top or the bottom of the food chain?

Top.

We’re at the top of the what?

The food chain. We’re at the top of the food chain.

Should we take this for granted or should we appreciate it?

We should appreciate it. We should appreciate our strength. We should appreciate being at the top. We should not take it for granted.

The recipe and the ingredients we need to improve our health comes from our ancestors.

Where does our health ingredients, health plan, health recipe come from? Our best health plan comes from where or who?

Our ancestors. It comes from the past. Comes from our ancestors.

But modern humans seem to disregard the legacy of our ancestors.

Do modern humans focus on the legacy of our ancestors?

No, they don’t focus on the legacy of our ancestors. They disregard, they ignore the legacy of our ancestors.

What do they disregard?

The legacy of our ancestors. The contribution in history of our ancestors.

Who ignores this? Who disregards the legacy of our ancestors?

Modern humans. Most modern humans, seem to disrespect and disregard – ignore – the profound, the very meaningful legacy of our ancestors.

It might be hard to believe we are exactly the same inside as humans from 10 thousand years ago.

So, are we different than our ancestors, genetically?

We’re not.

We’re exactly the same genetically as our ancestors from when?

From 10 thousand years ago. We are exactly the same genetically as our ancestors from 10 thousand years ago.

With a few minor – small – exceptions, we are identical to our ancestors in how we metabolize food.

Do we metabolize food differently than our ancestors?

No, not differently. We metabolize food, we digest food, we use food identically as our ancestors, identically to our ancestors, exactly the same way as our ancestors.

What do we do identically?

Metabolize food. We metabolize food identically to our ancestors.

We respond to exercise identically to our ancestors. We respond to sleep the same as our ancestors. And we deal with the environment the same as our ancestors. We handle, we adapt to the environment. We deal with the environment the same as our ancestors.

But there’s one critical distinction, is there a difference between us and our ancestors?

Yes there is. There’s a difference, there’s a critical distinction, an important difference. There’s one critical distinction.

How many critical distinctions are there? How many critical, important differences are there between modern humans and our ancestors? How many?

Just one.

According to Mark. Mark says there is one critical distinction, one critical difference between us and them.

The one critical distinction is?

Our ancestors from 10 thousand years ago were stronger and healthier than most of us are today.

All right, that is the end of our interactive B lesson. Again, listen to it many times. Each day listen to this lesson, you know, two times, three times if you can do it. Listen to all of the audios in the unit, at least once per day, twice per day or more is even better. And do this for 7 days or 10 days or 14 days, so repeating the whole unit every day and then you will learn deeply.

The first few days the vocabulary might seem difficult. The lessons might seem a little difficult, especially the interactive A and B lessons.

But day-by-day, the lesson will get easier. Day-by-day you will understand the vocabulary a little more, remember it better. You will learn more and more deeply.

This is learning for true mastery. That is the Effortless English system, mastery. Learning for mastery.

All right, I will see you in the commentary lesson. Bye for now.
