Fountain of Youth Discovered in The Most Remote Regions of The World

Ponce De Leon once fought fierce battles with native tribes out of ignorance looking for The Fountain of Youth . Today, like Ponce De Leon, Baby Boomers are fighting their own battle searching for the Fountain of youth not out of ignorance, but out of necessity.

With our busy and hectic lives we have no time to eat right. We choose our food according to convenience, so we pop the vitamin pills hoping to compensate for the lack of a healthy balanced diet. Our shelves are lined with vitamins, lotions and potions, some that are not only useless, but can actually harm us.

Perhaps there is no Fountain of Youth in the tradition of the term. However, when it comes to longevity and anti aging we have lots to learn from less developed cultures like Himalayan people, for they are as close to the Fountain of Youth as it comes in terms of health and longevity.
Himalaya where the highest mountains in the world are, is the place where the natural medicine originated. The pristine environment, which has soil that is incredibly rich in minerals upturned ions ago, is the place of many exotic plants and herbs.

This is the place where Natural Science Institute discovered a region called the “Hunza Valley” in a remote area of Indo China , where living up to the age of 120 is not uncommon.

Observers reported to their amazement seeing men in their 80’s, and 90’s lifting heavy rocks and boulders building their terraced gardens, and joining in games of strength and endurance with opponents half their age. They have been astounded by seeing these 80 year old men exercise by digging holes in the ice and swimming under the ice with the endurance and strength of 30 year old men.

The scientists observed that Hunzas not only lived long lives, but their long lives are healthy, virtually free from pain and illness, their vision is sharp, at the age of 80 they have no gray hair, they have boundless energy and strength, and their minds are clear.
In their language you won’t find the words for illnesses that have become all to familiar in our western world.


Their secret to long and healthy lives is contributed to a combination of factors.
The Hunza’s live in remote isolated place away from pollution and harmful stress of modern civilization.
They practice dailly art of relaxation and energy manegement with deep rhythmic breathing tecniques and meditations.
Their life style provides for the excercise of strength and endurance.

Hunza's daily food consumption consists of;
Fresh fruits and vegetables such as string beans, peas, carrots, turnip, squash, spinach, lettuce, apples, pears, peaches, apricots, apricot pits, cherries and blackberries and Goji berries.

Their staple food is whole grains such as barley, buckwheat, millet and wheat and yogurt.

Milk and cheese is their main source of protein. Meat is consumed only on special occasion. Chicken being the most common.

Their special bread, called chapatti is served with every meal. Chapatti is made from non refined whole flour of either barley, buckwheat, millet or wheat.

Hunzas eat only two meals a day. The first meal is served at twelve noon. This may sound surprising, since Hunzas engage in demanding physical labor all morning long on an empty stomach. The truth is that these people eat very little. Their average daily diet totals about 1.900 calories daily, while an average USA citizen according to USDA consumes about 3,300 calories daily.
Another contributing factor to Hunza’s health is that their medical system is based on preserving health. Their daily consumption of healing foods and herbs helps to prevent illness from occurring in the first place.

The direct opposite to our pharmaceutical oriented system which appears to have a little interest in keeping us healthy. In fact, their very livelihood depends upon us being sick.

Modern day doctors may look at the Hunza people and dismiss them as a primitive and unsophisticated culture. Yet, how sophisticated can we be if our society is plagued by illnesses that shorten our lives, or worse, prolong pain and suffering?

After reading this you might be tempted to pack up and join the Hunza people. The good news is, you don’t have to join the Hunza’s in search of a Fountain of Youth, but you might have to look beyond your average supermarket for fresh, natural unprocessed and unaltered food.

  • Simplify your lifestyle. Find time for to exercise, relax and find something to be passionate about.
  • If you are buying your produce from the supermarket, then make sure that you supplement your food with whole food products.
  • Eat dark green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, spinach and collard greens
  • Brightly colored fruits and veggies loaded with antoxidants such as, red and yellow peppers, squash, beet root, tomatoes, oranges, plums, apriccots, and berries.
    If there is something that we can learn from Himalayan people, it is that taking care of your health starts long before any signs of illness appear.

    Remember that health is your most precious commodity, and that sound healthy life practices applied over a lifetime is the real “Fountain of Youth"
    On Oprah Show, Dr. Mehmet Oz,, regarded as a professional in the field of nutrition and anti aging gives advice to Ben Gordon of Chicago Bulls on high energy foods.

    What is The Difference Between Natural and Synthetic Vitamins?

    If you ask a chemist to explain the difference between natural and synthetic vitamins, most will tell you that there is no structural difference in terms of ability to prevent vitamin deficiency.


    They will also tell you that anything that has a coal in molecular structure is "organic" because of carbon in it's molecular structure. For example take look at the label on the loaf of bread among other vitamins it lists barley, malt and ferrous sulfate. Ferrous sulfate is used as a preservative and a weed killer, and thiamine mononitrate that is also added to enriched breads comes from coal tar similar to the one used on roofs.


    Natural Vitamins are found in foods, they are unaltered and come with other minerals and interrelated nutrients which body recognizes as food. They are not broken down into molecular structure that would change their biochemical function. The food source that they come from should be listed on the label. When looking for natural vitamins the label should clearly say "Whole Food Product".


    When using whole food vitamins body will select the need for absorption and remove the excess. In natural vitamins other nutrients and vitamins are present, which help proper absorption, while in synthetic vitamin these co-factors for assimilation are absent.


    Synthetic Vitamins are man made in laboratory. They are chemically altered and reconstituted . They are taken from food source and manipulated with heat and chemicals to extract particular vitamin as a stand alone source. Nutrients in nature do not occur alone, they come with other minerals and nutrients that work synergistically.


    With synthetic vitamins body has no choice but to take large doses, which overloads the system with toxins. That is the reason why sometimes when synthetic vitamins are taken in large doses they make you feel great for the first week, after that some actually start feeling fatigued as a result of pyruvic acid build up.


    By supplementing your diet with whole food products, and being aware of what you put into your body is just one way you can take charge of your health right now, so that you can prevent illness later.

    Are you Wasting Your Money on Synthetic Vitamins?



    In medical studies the researchers found that vitamins taken by around a third of the population do not extend life and may even cause premature death, according to a respected group of international scientists. Patients' use of synthetic Vitamin E, for example, resulted in increased rates of lung cancer, heart attacks and death. link to the article

    When reading that article please keep in mind that the studies were done on artificial or synthetic vitamins not on a vitamins that come from the natural, whole food source.

    How to know if your vitamins are not artificial?
    Your vitamins are not artificial if they are listed along with their food source. For example: Vitamin C from oranges, Vitamin A from Carrots, Vitamin E from wheat germ oil or almonds, the synthetic form is labeled "D, L" while the natural form is labeled "D" . Vitamin B from sea vegetables, parsley or from the fruits.

    Did you know that fluorescent yellow urine is a sure sign that your vitamins are synthetic, as they are flushed right out of your system.

    Our bodies are not designed to live on pills, but on a food.
    Most artificial vitamins are not bio-available, meaning that our body can't convert it into food source, and in the long run synthetic vitamins can actually hurt us.
