Have you ever heard about Hunza People?
THE HUNZA (BURUSHASKI, WAKHI, AND URDU: ہنزہ) IS A MOUNTAINOUS VALLEY IN THE GILGIT-BALTISTAN REGION OF PAKISTAN. THE HUNZA IS SITUATED IN THE EXTREME NORTHERN PART OF PAKISTAN, BORDERING WITH THE WAKHAN CORRIDOR OF AFGHANISTAN AND THE XINJIANG REGION OF CHINA.
THE TRIBE IS WELL KNOWN TO THE WORLD FOR THEIR AMAZING LONGEVITY AND GOOD HEALTH. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR HUNZAKUTS TO LIVE BEYOND THE AGE OF 100, AND SOME EVEN TO 120, OR MORE.
THIS TRIBE WAS FIRST WRITTEN ABOUT BY DR. ROBERT MCCARRISON IN THE PUBLICATION STUDIES IN DEFICIENCY DISEASE, FOLLOWED IN 1961 BY AN ARTICLE IN JAMA DOCUMENTING THE REMARKABLE LIFESPAN OF THE HUNZA. AS A RESULT OF THIS PRIOR RESEARCH, DR. JAY M. HOFFMAN TOOK A TRIP TO THE HUNZA VALLEY TO STUDY TRIBAL LONGEVITY MORE IN DEPTH. HIS FINDINGS WERE PUBLISHED IN THE 1968 BOOK HUNZA – SECRETS OF THE WORLD’S HEALTHIEST AND OLDEST LIVING PEOPLE.
Apricot Seed And Cancer Protection?
VISITING MEDICAL TEAMS FROM AROUND THE WORLD REPORT THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CASE OF CANCER OF ANY FORM IN HUNZA. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE AVERAGE HUNZA DIET CONTAINS OVER TWO HUNDRED TIMES MORE NITRILOSIDE THAN THE AVERAGE AMERICAN DIET. IN FACT, IN THAT LAND WHERE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MONEY; A MAN'S WEALTH IS MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF APRICOT TREES HE OWNS.
HUNZAKUTS HAPILLY CONFIRMED AND THEN DESCRIBED HOW IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON TO EAT 30 TO 50 RAW APRICOT SEEDS AS AN AFTER LUNCH SNACK. THESE OFTEN ACCOUNT FOR AN EXCESS OF 75,000 INTERNATIONAL UNITS OF VITAMIN A PER DAY, AS WELL AS OVER 150MG OF VITAMIN B17.
