Despite meat-heavy diet, indigenous tribe has world’s healthiest hearts — but why?

They have higher systemic inflammation but lower levels of chronic heart disease, an 80 year old Tsimane has the same heart arteries as a 50 year old American.

much fo this may be due to genetic isolation combined with natural section for a people who eat lots of meat
@SatanBurger There is quite a lot of data on this. For instance look at those people who can’t comfortably consume and process milk products. Like Mongols, or there’s a tribe in Africa as well. For whom this seems not to be a problem. And yet within a single family you can have people who processed meat very well, and others not so much. But that is probably the result of genetic Blending.
It is the isolated tribes, that help us understand how this happens over longer times.

@SatyrService I dunno I have lactose intolerance and found that by cutting out grains I could magically have full fat dairy so there's other factors. And I was diagnosed as a baby.
@SatanBurger Yes, sometimes it is not a particular ingredient. But a particular gradient associated with others. That is very interesting what you told me about cutting out grain.
End it because they live the way that our ancestors lived.

@SatyrService They are healthy because of that I think. However, I must say that Americans don't grow up with a parasite tolerance like those tribes so I would have no idea how that would work for half the population here. I think maybe skinnier people, it probably would be healthy for them to live closer to what tribes do cos their immune systems are up.

Fascinating for sure, I know this was in 2017 but I would look forward to future findings.

They don't sit on their butt all day probably

@Convivial Yah that's true, they hunt for about 6 hours out of the day so that's quite a workout.
