- 4ntonius8lock 7y agoI love the title in the article: "Is it only diet and exercise?" Lol. So... they are telling the 'news' that people who eat well, are very physically active, live in close communities with little individual isolation... and they are healthy? Hold the presses! Seems like BBC had a day where they needed to put in some filler news articles.
- txcwpalpha 7y agoOne of the main intriguing things about this group of people is that they do not eat particularly well. > That heart health is in spite of the fact that they consume between 2,433 to 2,738 calories per day ... strangely, their diets aren’t incredibly healthy, though we can still learn a thing or two from their lifestyle. https://www.inverse.com/article/50572-tsimane-amazon-healthy-heart-high-calorie-diet https://www.inverse.com/article/50572-tsimane-amazon-healthy...
- 4ntonius8lock 7y ago> One of the main intriguing things about this group of people is that they do not eat particularly well. That is only if you take for a fact we know what a healthy diet is and there is a single clear definition. For me, Healthy eating is a diverse diet that leads to good health. Particularly eating foods where caloric density is offset by nutritional value. Based on my own definition and the facts of the article, these people do eat healthy. I think the surprise comes from people who think they know what a 'healthy diet' is. As the article states, 'this is definitively not keto diet' - for me this means about zero to me. If that point is surprising to you or to a group of people, I think you are right, it is a surprising study from that point of view. Thanks for helping me understand the newsworthy part of this.
