The booklet you are fortunate enough to be holding in your hands can literally transform your life in a very surprising way.

Applying the secrets it contains will help you regain - or maintain - what is no doubt the most precious of possessions: your youth.

That may seem like an extraordinary claim for any book to make.

And yet, it is completely up to you whether or not it comes true.

The secrets revealed in this work are based on the knowledge of a people whose reputation has spread far and wide around the world.

The real name of this amazing group of people is unknown to the public at large.

All that is generally known is that they inhabit some remote mountain range, and that they are reported to live for an exceptionally long time.

It is believed that among these people centenarians are common currency, and that it is not unusual for elderly persons to reach the venerable age of 130.

It has even been reported that a significant number have survived to the incredible age of 145!

These people are not the product of legend, nor is the country they inhabit a mythical utopia.

They call themselves the Hunzas (pronounced Hoonzas) and live in what has come to be known as the roof of the world - the mountain peaks of the Himalayas.

30,000, is situated at the extreme northern point of India, where the borders of Kashmir, China, India and Afghanistan converge.

It is said that this tiny group of people, residing in an inaccessible valley about 3000 meters (9000 feet) above sea level, are more or less completely cut off from the outside world.

Legend has it that they are the descendants of three Greek soldiers who deserted from the army in the time of Alexander the Great, and who, along with their Persian wives, sought refuge in this paradise valley.

The first westerner to discover these mysterious people was an audacious Scottish physician, Dr. MacCarrisson.

An adventurer by nature, MacCarrisson had no qualms about embarking on a perilous journey to the Himalayas between the two World Wars.

Even more astonishing was the fact that, as far as he could tell, they suffered from no diseases whatsoever.

All this is in direct contrast to the sorry state of affairs in most so-called advanced societies, where it would not be unfair to say that both physical and psychological health is the exception rather than the rule.

For example, in the United States half the young people who try to join the armed forces are judged incapable of performing their military duty for various health reasons.

Another important point to understand is that the health of the Hunzas is not characterized by the simple absence of disease, although that in itself is quite an accomplishment.

More than just not being affected by diseases that strike down so many of our peers in the prime of life, the Hunzas seem to possess boundless energy and enthusiasm, and at the same time are surprisingly serene.

The life expectancy of the average Hunza falls onto a different scale altogether - these people reach both physical and intellectual maturity at the venerable age of one hundred!

Absolutely reliable eyewitness reports, including those submitted by the intrepid Dr. MacCarrisson, tell of 80 year old Hunza women performing hours of intense physical labor without exhibiting the least sign of fatigue.

Because they live among mountain peaks they have to climb steep hillsides in order to accomplish many of their daily tasks.

One Hunza man who, at the incredible age of 145 was still surprisingly agile, and who used no cane or any other form of support, defied any conventional definition of the term elderly.

The first, and certainly the most important of these secrets concerns nutrition.

Interestingly enough, the Hunza approach resembles that outlined by Hippocrates, father of modern medicine, who lived over 2000 years ago in ancient Greece.

The basic precept of their common notion of what constitutes a proper diet is simple: the food you eat is your best medicine.

There's a modern saying, coined in the sixties: 'You are what you eat.'

This is something the Hunzas understood a long time ago.

Dr. MacCarrisson, who spent seven years with the Hunzas, realized that their amazing health was largely due to their diet which, as we will soon see, is rather unusual.

To confirm his theory that the Hunza diet played an important role in maintaining health and longevity, Dr. MacCarrisson devised the following simple experiment.

Well, the basis of the Hunza diet, which to a large extent is dictated by the rather harsh climatic and geographical conditions of their home country, can be summed up in one word: frugality.

This may sound surprising, since most nutrition experts here in the west stress the importance of a hearty breakfast, even though our life-style is relatively sedentary compared to that of the Hunzas, who engage in demanding physical labor all morning long on an empty stomach.

Unlike most occidentals, Hunzas eat primarily for hygienic reasons rather than for pleasure, although they are very meticulous when preparing their food which, by the way, happens to be delicious.

Westerners, who often overeat out of sheer gluttony or habit, rarely maintain a balance of calorie and protein intake, and energy expenditure.

Well, a large part of their diet is composed of grains: barley, millet, buckwheat and wheat.

They also eat fruits and vegetables on a regular basis.

For the most part, these are consumed fresh and raw, although some vegetables are cooked for a short time.

Milk and cheese are important sources of animal protein.

Meat, although not completely eliminated, is consumed only very rarely, reserved for special occasions like marriages or festivals.

In the long run, and especially because of our relatively sedentary life-style, this overconsumption of meat weakens the digestive system and results in a buildup of waste that can be dangerous to health.

Yogurt, which replenishes intestinal flora, is extremely beneficial for the human organism.

Specialists believe that it is this special bread that endows 90 year old Hunza men with their ability to conceive children, something that is unheard of here in the west.

It can be made from wheat, millet, buckwheat or barley flour, but what is most important is that the flour is whole, i.e. it is not refined, and has not had its germ removed, a common practice here in the west.

Unfortunately, occidentals tend to associate the whiteness of flour with purity, something that is completely false.

In addition, leaving the germ intact makes storing flour-based products more difficult.

This vitamin plays an important role in maintaining sexual functions in both humans and animals, and as you may know, sexual activity, which is directly related to the proper functioning of the hormonal system, is vital for health.

Since you cannot walk into your local bakery and expect to find chapatti bread, made the old fashioned Hunza way, on the shelf, we are including a recipe so that you can make your own.

Try to fashion your diet according to Hunza standards: remember that these mountain people eat only two light meals a day, even though they perform extremely laborious physical work for hours at a stretch, take part in demanding forms of physical exercise, and spend hours hiking along steep mountain paths each and every day.

Most exercise is done outdoors in order to take advantage of the pure mountain air, which in itself has a beneficial effect on health.

Although a large part of their day is spent outdoors, working the fields, the Hunzas do a lot more than that.

For one thing, they take regular walks - a 15 or 20 kilometer hike is considered quite normal.

Of course they don't walk that distance every day, but doing so does not require any special effort.

You should also keep in mind that hiking along mountain trails is a lot more demanding than walking over flat terrain.

As we saw earlier, they continue engaging in sports even at a very advanced age.

In addition to daily physical exercise, the Hunzas practice certain basic yoga techniques, notably yogic breathing, which is slow, deep and rhythmic, and which makes use of the entire thoracic cavity.

This is not the place to get into a detailed discussion of the ancient practice of yoga.

You can, however, buy a good book on yoga in almost any bookstore, or you might want to sign up for a course, since yoga is one of the best ways to combat the high levels of stress commonly associated with our modern, fast-paced life-style.

Most westerners are not even aware that they are living in an almost constant state of stress.

Being 'stressed-out' has become so common people think it's natural!

For many, life in the last part of the twentieth century has become an insane rat-race that is too often terminated by a sudden heart attack or a nervous breakdown.

Sadly, many occidentals conform to the laconic portrait drawn by Freud, who wrote: "Man is a sick animal."

Of course he was talking about psychological sickness, but his words also can just as well be applied to our physical condition, and especially to the dismal state of our nervous system, which is often overburdened and exhausted, giving rise to a host of psychosomatic diseases that no amount of chemical medications seem able to cure.

Relaxation is the key to health, and the Hunzas, both young and old, practice it regularly, doing short meditation sessions a number of times a day.

This saves both time and energy over the long run, and allows them to accomplish more than they would by overextending themselves, and then becoming exhausted.

All you have to do is look around you - the evidence that aging is a necessary evil is overwhelming.

The main obstacle to longevity is psychological - a majority of people condition themselves to believe that they will live to the age of about 70 (and if they don't condition themselves, society does it for them).

Another American scholar goes even further by saying that if we could stay in the same shape we're in at 20 we could, hypothetically speaking, continue living for centuries.

Scientific research being carried out at the present time has opened new avenues of approach to the subject of aging, some of which are quite surprising.

For example, a majority of scientists have long believed that people, and living beings in general, are equipped with a kind of inner timepiece that is programmed to limit the duration of their existence.

Their philosophy of life is very different from our own, and their conception of aging is completely opposed to the concept commonly held in our society.

In many countries retirement is mandatory at a certain age, so that even people who are in excellent mental and physical shape have no choice but to stop working.

That is something the Hunzas understand, and practice in their daily lives.

In the Middle Ages, life expectancy was vastly inferior to what it is today.

A woman of 30 was considered old.

She would wear austere clothing to show that she was no longer sexually active.

The rate of infant mortality was extremely high.

Constant wars and epidemics like the plague wiped out millions of people every year.

Life was hard, and hygiene almost nonexistent.

A man of 60 was considered a patriarch.

Of course there were some exceptions, but these were exceedingly rare.

Today, men and women of 40 or 50 who practice proper hygiene and lead a healthy life-style are in wonderful shape.

If you told someone living in the Middle Ages that it would be completely normal for people to live to 70, and that a woman of 50 could look as young as a woman of 30, you would have been laughed at or considered insane.

Now ask yourself: How different is that attitude to our own, in light of what the Hunzas have accomplished?

Perhaps in a century or two, or maybe even sooner - in 30 or 50 years - people here in the west will consider it completely normal to live to a hundred or more, as the Hunzas have been doing for centuries.

And not just ordinary years - extraordinary years of perfect health, happiness and serenity.

All it takes is a little willpower.

Yes, you can overcome disease, stress and depression.

Follow the example set by the Hunzas, and apply the secrets revealed in this booklet.

It's up to you to put them into practice and transform your life, so that you remain almost eternally young.

Don't wait - the best time to start living right is right now!
