Dieta plemienia Hunzów.
Jak wynika z relacji , opinii Hunzowie dożywają 100 lat w zdrowiu i
sprawności fizycznej. Jednym z czynników na to wpływających jest dieta.W
latach 20. XX wieku sir dr Robert McCarrison , mianowany w 1927 roku
dyrektorem Nutrition Research w Indiach, znakomity angielski chirurg , podjął
badania pewnych chorób powszechnych wśród ludów Azji. Był zainteresowany
odkryciem , w jakim stopniu choroby u Hindusów są powodowane niewłaściwym
pokarmem. Napisał w swojej książce:
„ Moje doświadczenie dostarcza przykładu rasy niedoścignionej w swojej
fizycznej doskonałości i w ogólnej wolności od chorób. Odnosi się to do ludzi
z państwa Hunza, znajdującego się w najdalej połozonym na północ miejscu
Indii(obecnie: Pakistanu)
U tych ludzi trwanie życia jest niezwykle długie. W okresie 7 lat . które
spędziłem wśród nich , moja pomoc lekarska polegała głownie na leczeniu
uszkodzeń powypadkowych, usuwaniu starczej katarakty, operacjach plastycznych
ziarnistych powłok , lub leczeniu chorób zupełnie nie związanych z
pożywieniem.:
- Nastepnie McCarrison prowadził badania laboratoryjne na szczurach.
- ( Szczury są używane w badaniach żywieniowych, ponieważ lubia one te
same pokarmy co ludzie. Ich życie jest krótkie, dlatego można obserwowac ich
historię.
- W doświadczeniu 1200 szczurów karmiono dieta Hunzów i zabito w wieku
27 m-cy to jest odpowiadającym wiekowi 50lat u ludzi.
- W ciągu tych 27 miesiecy nie zdarzył się ani jeden przypadek
zachorowania w tym świecie szczurów.
„ Hunzowie jedza głownie zboże(pszenicę, jęczmień, gryke i proso) zielone
liściaste warzywa, ziemniaki, groch i fasolę, zielony groszek i inne
strączkowe, świeże mleko i maslankę, lassi – klarowane masło i ser, owoce,
głownie morele i morwy świeże i suszone w słońcu, mięso tylko przy
wyjątkowych , rzadkich okazjach i wino robione z winogron.”

The land of vitality - the Hunza Valley
In India during the 1920s, British researcher Sir Robert McCarrison conducted
one of the most eye-opening experiments relative to the correlation between
diet and health. Dr. McCarrison spent many years in the Himalayan Mountains
including the picturesque Hunza Valley. This magical fairytale-like place is
found between the borders of China, India, Pakistan and Russia at nearly 8000
ft. The natives of this valley, the Hunzakuts, captured Dr. McCarrison's
attention because of the their excellent health and extremely long lifespan.

Maybe you're wondering: are the Hunzas really all that healthy? That was the
question on the mind of cardiologists Dr. Paul D. White and Dr. Edward G.
Toomey, who made the difficult trip up the mountain paths to Hunza, toting
along with them a portable, battery-operated electrocardiograph. In the
American Heart Journal for December, 1964, the doctors say they used the
equipment to study 25 Hunza men
who were, "on fairly good evidence, between 90 and 110 years old." Blood
pressure and cholesterol levels were also tested. He reported that not one of
these men showed a single sign of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure
or high cholesterol.
An optometrist, Dr. Allen E. Banik, also made the journey to Hunza to see for
himself if the people were as healthy as they were reputed to be, and
published his report in Hunza Land (Whitehorn Publishing Co., 1960). "It
wasn't long before I discovered that everything that I had read about
perpetual life and health in this tiny country is true," Dr. Banik
declared. "I examined the eyes of some of Hunza's oldest citizens and found
them to be perfect."
Beyond more freedom from disease, many observers have been startled by the
positive side of Hunza health. Dr. Banik, for example, relates that "many
Hunza people are so strong that in the winter they exercise by breaking holes
in the ice-covered streams and take a swim down under the ice." Other
intrepid visitors who have been there report their amazement at seeing men
80, 90, and 100 years old repairing the always-crumbling rocky roads, and
lifting large stones and boulders to repair the retaining walls around their
terrace gardens. The oldsters think nothing of playing a competitive game of
volleyball in the hot sun against men 50 years their junior, and even take
part in wild games of polo that are so violent they would make an ice hockey
fan shudder.
The energy and endurance of the Hunzakuts can probably be credited as much to
what they don't eat as what they do eat. First of all, they don't eat a great
deal of anything. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that
the average daily food intake for Americans of all ages amounts to 3,300
calories, with 100 grams of protein, 157 grams of fat and 380 grams of
carbohydrates. In contrast, studies by Pakistani doctors show that adult
males of Hunza consume a little more than 1,900 calories daily, with only 50
grams of protein, 36 grams of fat, and 354 grams of carbohydrates. Both the
protein and fat are largely of vegetable origin (Dr. AlexanderLeaf, National
Geographic, January, 1973).
That amounts to just half the protein, one-third the fat, but about the same
amount of carbohydrates that we Americans eat. Of course, the carbohydrate
that the Hunzakuts eat is unrefined or complex carbohydrate found in fruits,
vegetables and grains, while we Americans largely eat our carbohydrates in
the form of nutritionless white sugar and refined flour.
Needless to say, the Hunzakuts eat no processed food. Everything is as fresh
as it can possibly be, and in its original unsalted state. The
only "processing" consists of drying some fresh fruits in the the sun, and
making butter and cheese out of milk. No chemicals or artificial fertilizers
are used in their gardens. In fact, it is against the law of Hunza to spray
gardens with pesticides. Renee Taylor, in her book Hunza health secrets
(Prentice-Hall 1964) says that the Mir, or ruler of Hunza, was recently
instructed by Pakistani authorities to spray the orchards of Hunza with
pesticide, to protect them from an expected invasion of insects. But the
Hunzas would have none of it. They refused to use the toxic pesticide, and
instead sprayed their trees with a mixture of water and ashes, which
adequately protected the trees without poisoning
the fruit and the entire environment. In a word, the Hunzas eat as they live –

Take A Hint From the Hunzas:
Diet Is Key to Health, Vitality
Hunza diet
Dr. Gary Young, in 1998 visited the Hunza valley in the Himalayas to explore
the longevity secrets of the Hunza people, who are commonly thought to live
110 to 115 years. Dr. Young discovered that the Hunza diet is based on
unprocessed foods and minimal meat, emphasizing many fruits, vegetables,
whole grains such as buckwheat and millet, mulberry, figs, almonds, walnuts,
apricots, etc. The focus on whole foods ensures the Hunza diet is high in
vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.
