If you think vegetarian food and daily exercise are modern phenomena, then think again. 100 years ago, two Danish men wrote a book each, which became of great importance for the Danes' view of the body. The men were named I.P. Müller and Mikkel Hindhede and their pioneering thoughts on vegetarianism, daily gymnastics and sexual liberation set the tone in the decades leading up to World War II and laid the foundation for a bodily modern breakthrough. Historian Adam Holm follows in the footsteps of the two authors to investigate on his own body, where the radical thoughts come from and whether today's eating habits and body culture can learn some of the 100-year-old ideas.
