The secret behind the Hunza's long life is supposed to be their diet, which includes a lot of apricots, and their low levels of stress.

The Hunza Valley is one of the most beautiful regions in Pakistan. Coming from Giligit you first pass the majestic Rakaposhi mountain, one of those 8K giants of the Western Himalaya. Once in the valley, you see the capital city of Karimabad on the left bank, with its fort perched high on the top of the hill.

There are several takes on the Hunza and other long lived
peoples. And to this day there still is a roiling argument going on as to do they really mostly live past 100 years. What is little disputed is the grace with which they live their lives...the clean air they breathe...the food unspoiled by chemicals and additives...and their approach to their "earlier , middle and later years".
It is a philosophy I find fascinating... one at odds with our westernized notions of getting old and becoming decrepid and useless.
In Lost Horizon the movie...there is a moment where the leading elder of that place says to his visitor about "how you westerners add another wall around your mind every year you celebrate your birthday". Iam paraphrasingof course...but I think you will see ...once you read of the Hunza philosophy for life...why people would consider themthepeople of the "Lost Horizon"

We are the happiest people in the world," the Mir (King) of Hunza told Renee
Taylor for the book Hunza Health Secrets. "We have just enough of everything
but not enough to make anyone else want to take it away. You might call this
'the happy land of just enough.'" Hunza is a land that has enough of what it
needs because the people don't ask for much, and because no one else wants
it badly enough to fight for it.

The people there live long, happy, productive lives partly because they don't
concern themselves much with time and age. This frees them from the hurry
and worry that comes with alternately trying to rush time and hold it back --
both most fruitless and frustrating exercises. The people of Hunza have a
grace that comes from flowing with time rather than trying to control it.

Renee Taylor writes, "Time is not measured by clocks or calendars (in Hunza).
Time is judged by the changing of the seasons, and each season brings the
feeling of newness, not a fear that time is slipping irrevocably away.

"In the West, on the other hand, where lives are dominated by clocks and
calendars, we tend to view each passing moment as a little piece of life which
has cruelly slipped away from us, never to return. Each such slipping bit of
time brings us closer to old age and ultimately to death. We worry so much
about growing old that we actually increase the process."

In Hunza, a person's life divides into three periods, the Mir says: "The young
years, the middle years, and the rich years. In the young years, there is
pleasure and excitement and the yearning for knowledge. In the middle years,
there is the development of poise and appreciation, along with the pleasures,
the excitement and the yearnings of the young years. In the rich years -- by
far the best period of all -- there is mellowness, understanding, the ability to
judge and the great gift of tolerance -- all of this combined with the qualities
of the two previous periods.

"The keynote of life is growth, not aging. Life does not grow old. The life that
flows through us at 80 is the same that energized us in infancy. It does not
get old or weak. So-called age is the deterioration of enthusiasm, faith to live
and the will to progress."

The Mir adds, "Here, there is time to think only of the necessary things. To
worry over such an intangible thing as the ticking of a clock or the turning of
a page on a calendar, this is foolishness."


There is no such thing as retirement in Hunza. A Hunzakut works all his life,
because if he doesn't he doesn't eat. But far from being necessary drudgery,
it is a joy for the Hunzakut to work. Nearly all of them are farmers. They
spend long days scraping small amounts of food from the rocky slopes.
They're up before dawn and don't come home from the fields until the sun is
setting, stopping only twice during the day.

The people of Hunza can work this way -- often for a hundred years straight
-- because of the way they look at and pace their work. Renee Taylor says,
"Perhaps aside from the magnificent nutrition of the Hunzakuts (mainly
coarse, stone-ground wheat flour and apricots), their mental attitude (is) the
key to their extraordinary longevity."

They believe that without work, a person is as good as dead. "From the day a
Hunzakut is born," the Mir says, "he is never coddled. He keeps active until
the day he dies... The idleness of retirement is a much greater enemy to life
than work. Our people continue to work by choice."

Renee Taylor observes that "the ability to relax is at the bottom of everything.
Watch the Hunza people at work or at rest. They are completely relaxed,
completely at ease." This is because they don't fight their work. They enjoy it.
