In the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Bolivia the Tsimane, one of the most remote indigenous peoples on the continent, stand out for one thing.

People here age more slowly than other populations and the older Tsimane enjoy exceptional vitality, as several scientific…

  1. They live longer because these People are contented of what they have. They connect with Nature, nature gives them fresh food, fresh Air, the greenery surrounds them. They dont think of material things and they are happy People.

  2. All of the factors mentioned were environmental and not genetic. So the conclusion is that modern life with processed food and lack of activity will lead to an early death offset by whatever medical intervention you get.

  3. I am not sure how "young" these old people are. When I was visiting Bolivia I got in a fight with this 89 year old who said he was from this tribe and was able to beat him up relatively easy. Not only am I almost 30 years old, but my doctor said I have a weight problem since I am 6 feet 4 and weigh almost 300 pounds.

  4. Duh! They are very physically active and they are eating unprocessed, natural, homemade, fresh foods. We only have to change just about everything about our lives to achieve that, I don't think too many people are going to go for that.

  5. How and why is it that Indigenous People living so far inside the forest, and if as you report quite unconnected to the rest of the world, wearing clothes made of materials and style and requirement quite alien and unnecessary to them? Have they too not been left alone by the rapacious missionaries hunting to add more sheep to their flock?

  6. Living a natural life in the midst of nature without the juink food of modern times is certainly the key factor for their healthy bio systems and hence the longevity !!
    Just leave them alone in their own world..

  7. I believe the #1 reason they age much slower than the average person is bc they don’t keep track of their age so they’re not reminding themselves of their age. When one tells themselves their getting old & complaining about the affects of aging & they expect it to get worse & worse….then those thoughts r more likely to manifest into your reality bc u already expect it to happen therefore uve given it permission to happen so ur likely to make it happen.

  8. There's no documents or official records on these people birth dates so no one actually know how old they are, no matter what it says in the government issued ID – for all we know, they could be 50 years old.

  9. Of course they live long and healthy lives (if they survive infancy), because they live the way humans evolved to live. In our movement, we believe that is the key to happiness and longevity and we wish to reinvent that lifestyle for the modern era. Come check us out!

  10. They don't have comfortable and luxurious life but, they're living under the care of nature.Thank you BBC for sharing about this extraordinary people who lives and existed 🙏🙏❤️ in thier old ag🎉e happily and strong.without this documentary we never knew about the of this simple but interesting people who slowly age without memory loss.

  11. It doesn’t take a genius to read Genesis and realize that we are to be one with our planet we are to work in accordance with nature and eat the abundance of nature when we do that when we work in Scituate with nature health is no longer an issue. The great world wars still continue today because of the fact that water products were re-introduced as gardening products are very much still used today. But when you make the shift realize that plants eat plants soil feeds off of plants that makes soil a whole new understanding slowly starts to open.

  12. The diet is a small part or portion of id say a loving community who over the centuries have learned to live peacefully with nature. Death doesn't scare them like westerners who are all afraid. Open your heart let the love heal you

  13. Imagine that concept. We are obsessed with the number of how old we are, which we think defines us and tells us how long we still have, they don’t bother with it.
