      not much meat.though because they don't have fridges to store it for days or weeks, so when they do eat meat, its a feast that only lasts a couple days as the climate it spoils too fast.. We visited that area (different tribes but same ancestry) With smaller animals they add the meat for flavour to some soups to get a few days more, You sometimes saw meat in disshes but it was very thin slivers, so its a very low consumption of it. We noticed they mostly ate vegetables, root vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, berries, seeded shoots, fruits, whole grains (if any), herbs, spices etc,

      That is not true. There are studies with hunter-gather communities where, as long as you made it through puberty and survived child birth as a women, you have good chances of reaching 70 and up (70 being modal (=highest frequency) life expectancy for people older than 15, if I remember correctly). And 70 is not that far of from the US, where life expectancy (at birth - but with infant mortality < 1 %) is around 77.5 years in 2022 - with modern medicin. Hence the life expectancy at birth in hunter-gatherer communities and in the middle age etc. is/was largely low due to infant mortality and not because of grown-up people dying rather early.

      ​@@djdownie3data says little, the principle of adaptation in humans is well understood, if you do something, you get better at it and adapt. Every living tissue in our body is capable of adaptation. So people who move and keep working their flexibility, strength and cardio, keep those adaptations into old age, so they are healthy because of what they do, and NOT the other way around.
      If you cannot do something like bend over or sit on your knees, it is possible at any age to develop the ability, its training, same as anything else.
      Yes you are able to do those things (be flexible, strong, sharp, endurant) because you are already healthy, but you can actively improve your health, day to day by doing things, it will hurt to use muscles and joints that havent been used in years, or that have been "injured", but they only adapt to use. So its either shrivel up and rot or use your body and mind and get healthier.
      In summary, you are absolutely healthy because of what you do, we adapt, we also de-adapt. Case in point, people who do nothing all day, will end up senile, their body had no reason to maintain strength.

      It's good that you think everything needs to be beautiful and what we are doing is right but in reality humans lived this way or worse for around 6 million years without modern luxuries. They may have not lived well but they also didn't have so much difference in high and lows. They lived happily and died peacefully without modern diseases and suffering.
      This luxury only started about a few thousand years ago, it may seem better to be so advanced in technology and stuff but if you think about was all of this really necessary, are we really evolving or just being a persistent bug on this piece of dirt that will kill itself much faster than it took to grow.
      On the grand scale of things today's advanced civilization may just be the quietness before the storm that will wipe all of us out without anyone to even look for our remains.

    I'm amazed by their way of living. Our Elders Africans used to live exactly like they do, they lived longer and in good health. But nowadays as we've started eating harmful processed food we barely reached 80. Those of us reaching that ages ends in such conditions that afraid younger to turn older. I think we better eat completely natural food.

    I think many people underestimate the impact that diet plays in their health. It doesn't help that over the last 50 years processed foods and fast food chains have become more widespread and accessible than ever before. As shown here if you can limit the heavily processed foods, consuming fresh, highly nutritious foods and exercise regularly, living life more simply will do wonders.

      not much meat.either, (even though they mention it) because they don't have fridges to store it for long, so when they do eat meat, its a short feast that only lasts a couple days as the climate it spoils meat too fast.. We visited that area 7 years ago (different tribes but all have the same ancestry) With smaller animals they add the meat for just flavour to some soups to get a few days more, You sometimes saw meat in dishes but it was very thin slivers, so its a very low consumption of it. We noticed they mostly ate vegetables, root vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, berries, seeded shoots, fruits, whole grains (if any), herbs, spices etc,

Which took my attention is that, it's not like in africa, weather is humid and the big leaf vegetation surrounding them can provide them with good air. And another thing which took my attention is that they have even slower aging than japanese people, wow that's amazing bc wasn't there a town in japan (ogimi) that average life span was around 100?

All tribes who respect and live with nature in harmony are granted the beautiful gifts of longer life as they respect the earth and tread carefully upon the land. They do not partake in ugly abuses against Mother Nature. Nature heals better than chemicals and toxins and poisons made by man, if you take care of Mother Nature She will take care of you, respect the earth is key to a longer life, never take more than you need yourself from the earth and always put back as a sign of respect, God Bless All, Amen xx

Movement and the usage of the carbs they eat prevent them from getting diabetes.
    Also they don't constantly snacking foods. They have to collect and prepare the food before they eat so they have a fasting window. Making the gutmicrobiom thrive and the gut rest and insulin restore.
