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.

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.
