Hello Sir
I came across an article recently and was interested if the phenomenon can be better explained by a semantic understanding. Apparently, upon studying the Hazda tribe, a Tanzanian hunter-gatherer tribe, it was found that the amount of calories they burn is the same as a typical sedentary American even though members of the tribe engage in 5-10 times more physical activity.
The reductive model of a human body as a machine which expends energy for work and needs to be refuelled based on the amount of work done completely fails to explain this. Could you please explain this semantically?
This article explains it: Why Diets and Exercises Don’t Always Work.
