The diet of Hunza people is extremely diverse and close to nature.They mainly use fresh fresh fruits and vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, raw vegetables, radish, squash, apple, peach, apricot ... along with nutritious nuts such as walnuts and almonds.
In addition, milk, yogurt and cheese are also important sources of protein.All of these foods are organic, do not use chemicals so it is very safe and health protection.
In particular, the Hunza rarely eat meat as well as processed foods, which are loved by most people in the world.
The meat only appears on the tray of Hunza's rice on special occasions and each person is only small.In addition, their meals are often made from fresh ingredients, bringing natural and nutritious flavors.
Experts say that restricting meat and non -processing food is one of the important things to help Hunza live more than people in other regions and no one has cancer during 900 years.
Processed food, with high sugar, salt and saturated fat content, is one of the main causes of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular and some types of cancer.Excess sugars and salt can increase blood pressure, damage blood vessels and increase the risk of stroke.
Saturated fat contributes to bad cholesterol, leading to atherosclerosis.In addition, additives and preservatives in processed foods can cause intestinal irritation, impaired liver and kidney function and increases the risk of cancer.
In contrast, studies have shown that vegetarian diet can bring many health benefits.Limiting red meat, processed meat and dairy products helps reduce the amount of saturated fat, bad cholesterol and enhance fiber, vitamins, minerals.Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings and enhance intestinal microflora.
The antioxidants in fruits and vegetables help protect cells from damage, reduce inflammation and support the immune system against disease.A number of preliminary studies also show that short -term vegetarian diet can activate the "rebuilding" of the immune system, helping to destroy cancer cells.
