New York Post featured a study coauthored by Andrei Irimia on how the Tsimané community, who live a pre-industrial lifestyle in the Bolivian Amazon, have the “healthiest hearts on the planet” and brains that age far more slowly than their Western counterparts. This may be due in part to an extremely active lifestyle as well as a high-fiber diet full of vegetables, fish and lean meats, the researchers noted. “This ideal set of conditions for disease prevention prompts us to consider whether our industrialized lifestyles increase our risk of disease,” Irimia said.
