Have you ever heard of Hunza people? What’s their secret elixir for eternal youth, great health, and long-life span? Let’s find out together.
Breathing the clean and fresh mountainous air in Northern Pakistan, the Burusho (Hunza people) seem to enjoy the real beauty of everyday life. Known as the descendants of Alexander the Great, this young-spirited, cheerful and happy tribe is the center of attention for many anthropologists.
Everybody wants to discover the greatest secret of these mysterious people: how to live a long, fulfilled life. And I was curious too.
My intense curiosity led me to some amazing facts about Hunza people and their way of life:
1. Some Hunza people live up to 150 years.
2. Their women give birth naturally at the age of 65.
3. Hunza people feed their body and soul. They eat fresh healthy food: fruits, vegetables, grains. They raise sheep, chickens, goats and use their products. Hunza people eat 2 meals per day. Also, they fast.
