In the high mountains of Pakistan, there lives a quaint tribe called the Hunzas. The average age of its members is about 120 years old, and it is not uncommon for people to live to the age of 160. Many people try to understand the reasons behind the unique longevity of the Henza people.
The famous Hongzeku Pass leads to the hidden Hongze Plateau. It was discovered by caravans that brought Chinese porcelain to India. The passage was a prototype of the Great Silk Road. In those years, the Hunza people had lived in isolation on the plateau.
According to Hunza legend, they were a warrior country. A group of warriors who escaped from Alexander the Great's Indian campaign established this mountainous state, as the Hunza themselves believed. Perhaps this is why the Hunza are different from the surrounding tribes: they have their own language, and there is no similar language worldwide.
The Hunza tribe was discovered by British medic Robert McCarrison. He spent about 30 years in India and dedicated himself to finding longevity dependent on diet. In the inaccessible Hongze region, the doctor worked from 1904 to 1911, and during all this time he never found any serious health problems among the tribal members.
In 1963, a French expedition (unkind, either tomb robbery or robbery) set out to study the Hunza tribe in the Himalayas. The French yankees conducted a census and found that the average age of the tribe's members was 120 years. The members of the expedition concluded that the longevity of the Henza people was due to their eating habits, which did not drink alcohol, smoke, eat sweets, and constantly worked and fasted. Fasting is indeed a long-standing practice of this tribe.
