The following Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Lehman.

41 primal action items and individual experiments to make success happen in 2017.

Not every challenge has to be massive. Not every action item needs to take you to the promised land of optimal health and body composition.

Sometimes you just want a writer you trust to devise a list of potential little mini challenges,

short self-experiments, and approachable action items.

This is that list. See what resonates.

Then get moving and make them happen.

1. Take a 15-minute walk after every meal.

There's a good reason many traditional cultures recommend walks after eating.

It reduces blood glucose and improves the overall metabolic response to the meal.

2. Do 100 squats a day.

Air squats are plenty unless it gets too easy.

Then add a little weight.

unless you're a glutton for punishment. Pepper them throughout the day. If squats aren't working for you,

try something else. Three, do burpees or their alternatives after every meal. Somewhere in the range

of 10 to 20. Four. Try some lentils.

Instead of your normal carb source,

lentils go a long way.

They're surprisingly low and digestible carbs
