"RETURN TO SHANGRI-LA I once took a trip to the hunza Valley in Pakistan. The hunza farmers terraced surrounding mountainsides to prevent soil erosion. As Mark discussed, mineral-rich glacial waters feed this soil. As a result, the Hunzas grow beautiful fruits, vegetables, and millet. Throughout my visit there, I could hardly believe the quality of health that I encountered. For example, I met a 140-year-old man whose eyes were clear, whose skin was smooth, and who still had every tooth in his head. I am convinced that diet played a part."

"Remember, the Hunzas, the healthiest people in the world, stay young, virile, and vital and live in perfect health (arthritis is unknown in hunza) past 100 years of age?and they eat meat not more than once a month. Their diet is a high natural carbohydrate-low animal protein diet as advocated in this book. Health Destroyers What not to eat is, perhaps, even more important that what to eat when planning a program of vital nutrition. First and foremost, white sugar and all foods made with it should be totally excluded."

"In March 1961, an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported on evidence that men in hunza lived to be 120 and even 140 years old. hunza men and women over 100 exhibited robust energy, in striking contrast to the epidemic of fatigue in our society. These people lived simply and without doctors or hospitals, without nursing homes. In America today we spend $1.5 trillion a year on health care and tens of billions of dollars studying disease. What is it buying us? Certainly not a long, disease-free life. Here's an idea: Study health instead of disease!"

"The Remarkable Hunzas In a remote valley of the Himalayas, in what is now northeastern Pakistan, live the people of hunza, who were renowned for their near-perfect health, robust energy and extraordinary longevity. Though they lived under what we would consider primitive conditions, they regularly lived into their hundreds, and often lived to be 120 to 140 years old."
