Hunza diet

The Hunza cuisine also called the Burusho cuisine (Burushaski: بروشو دݘیرس) consists of a series of selective food and drink intake practiced by the Burusho people (also called the Hunza people) of northern Pakistan that is argued by some to be unique and have long lasting effects.[1][2] The diet mostly consists of raw food including nuts, fresh vegetables, dry vegetables, mint, fruits and seeds added with yogurt. The cooked meal, daal included with chappati, is included for dinner. It has also been advocated for being inexpensive and mostly self-producible.[3] The Hunza lifestyle was referenced in the Biorhythm Calendar published by the American Health Institute in the later 1970s.
