Ne znaju za rak: Jelovnik najzdravijeg naroda na svetu
Poreklo naroda Hunza podjednako je zagonetno kao i njihova izuzetna dugovečnost, a odgovori se već decenijama traže u neobičnoj kombinaciji genetike, okruženja i načina života, pa čak i u mogućim vezama sa Baskima i vojskom Aleksandra Makedonskog.
TL;DR
- The Hunza people live in the Hunza Valley in northern Pakistan, a region known for their exceptional longevity.
- Many Hunza individuals reportedly live beyond 100 years, with some claims of reaching 120-140 years, though official records are scarce.
- Their diet is predominantly plant-based, relying on self-produced foods like apricots (fresh, dried, and seeds), whole grains (barley, wheat, millet), and seasonal vegetables.
- Apricots play a significant role, even forming the basis of a diet during extended fasting periods, considered a natural detoxification method.
- Processed foods, refined sugars, oils, and alcohol are largely absent from their diet.
- Daily life involves significant physical activity, including walking in mountainous terrain, farm work, yoga, and breathing exercises.
- The origin of the Hunza people is mysterious, with their Burushaski language showing some similarities to Basque, and theories suggesting descent from Alexander the Great's soldiers.
- The Hunza's lifestyle, diet, and connection to nature are seen as potential inspirations for modern research on healthy aging.
