The Scottish doctor had discovered their secret of longevity.
Hunza a tribe of healthy and happy people in the world. The people of this tribe live in the North of India in the Himalayas. The tribe way of life approaching the ideal. People feel happy, do not grow old, as in other countries, by 40-50 years of age. It is curious that the residents of Hunza valley, in contrast to the neighboring peoples, look very similar to Europeans.
The Hunza bathe in icy water even at 15 degree frost, up to a hundred years playing outdoor games, 40-year-old woman they look like girls, 60 years to maintain the harmony and elegance of the figures, and in 65 years have children. In the summer they eat raw fruits and vegetables in the winter — sun-dried apricots and sprouted beans, feta cheese.
Another interesting people have the period when the fruit is still not ripe — it’s called “hungry spring” and lasts from two to four months. In these months they almost nothing to eat and only once a day drink a drink made from dried apricots. This post is built into the cult and strictly observed.
A Scottish physician, Mccarrison the first to describe Happy valley, emphasized that the consumption of protein there is on the lower level, if at all it can be called the norm. Daily calorie Hunza averages 1933 kcal and includes 50 g of protein, 36 grams of fat and 365 grams of carbohydrates.
The Scot lived in the vicinity of the Hunza valley for 14 years. He came to the conclusion that diet is a major factor in the longevity of this nation. If the person eats properly, then diseases will not save him and the mountain climate. It is not surprising that neighbours Hunza, living in the same climatic conditions, suffer a variety of diseases. Their life expectancy is two times shorter.
In the book “Hunza — people who do not know the disease” R. Bircher emphasizes the following very substantial advantages of the model of power in this country:
— first of all it vegetarian;
— a large number of raw foods;
in the daily diet is dominated by vegetables and fruits;
— the products are natural, without any chemicals, and made with preservation of all biologically valuable substances;
— alcohol and treats only consume rarely.
very moderate consumption of salt;
products grown only on their native soil;
— regular periods of fasting.
To this we must add other factors that favor healthy longevity. But the way nutrition is undoubtedly very important, crucial.
