Hunza Valley is located in northern Pakistan, near the border with India.

Hunza Valley is located in northern Pakistan, near the border with India.

One of the longest-lived peoples in the world lives here.

The valley is fertile and suitable for agriculture,

but it is located at a high altitude and is quite isolated from the rest of the world.

How long do the Hunza people live?

Long-lived peoples are always the subject of attention and research.

Some sources claim that Hunza people live to be 120 years old.

But let's leave aside the documented age and how accurate it is.

Doctors who examined the Hunza population were fascinated by the fact

that the older generations of Hunza people are completely healthy, vital and disease-free.

These people do not get cancer at all.

Experts have proven that the people from the Hunza Valley are the only ones with a complete absence of cancer.

What do they eat?

The Hunza people consume mostly plant foods and raw foods.

The food consists mainly of fruits and vegetables, as well as cereals, and they also consume cheese.

During the summer, they eat raw fruits and vegetables.

During the winter, they eat dried apricots, sheep cheese and sprouted cereals.

They use what is available to them, as they are quite isolated.

There is a period of about 3 months when they do not eat anything, but only drink dried apricot juice.

That is in the spring, when there is a lack of other foods anyway.

This is very important to them and is respected, same as fasting is important in some cultures.

What is the secret of the Hunza people?

Hunza people are happy.

They are in a good mood and relieved.

Their way of life is close to ideal.

It seems that due to the circumstances and conditions in which they live, they have received an ideal diet for their health.

They bathe in ice water.

They give birth to children at the age of 65.

Genes and a clean environment certainly contribute to making these people look younger.

They live and work in pure nature, are very active and go many steps a day.

Still, nutrition seems to be the key to their healthy lives.

They are vegetarians and eat a lot of raw foods, dominated by fruits and vegetables.

They must observe a starvation period of 3 months.
