Hunza
the longevity village
Time Asia once reported on the famous longevity village, Hunza, located in Pakistan. Despite strong ultraviolet radiation, very few residents suffer from skin cancer. Additionally, the number of centenarians in the village is more than ten times higher than the international average. This phenomenon has piqued the interest of scientists.
The European Journal of Molecular Biotechnology reported that the number of centenarians in Tajikistan is 324 per million, while in Yakutia, it is 353 per million. These regions primarily consume high-mountain water with lower deuterium levels compared to regular natural water. In contrast, other regions of Russia have only 8 centenarians per million people.
The secret to longevity
After years of research, scientists have discovered that the local residents in these longevity villages source their daily drinking water and crop irrigation from glacial meltwater. This water has a deuterium content of 133 ppm, significantly lower than the 150 ppm found in lowland areas. This revelation unveils the secret to their longevity – low deuterium water!
