Bolivian Tribe With 1% Dementia Follows a Diet so Powerful, Scientists Are Questioning Modern Lifestyle

While there’s a growing fad around different types of diets, research suggests that consuming too much food may do more harm than good. A study by the University of Southern California (USC) on the remote Bolivian communities of Tsimané and Mosetén has found that traditional and pre-industrial ways of living are superior when it comes to aging healthily. Additionally, scientists have made these eye-opening claims based on the indigenous group’s eating habits and how they have helped them stay disease-free. The people who live segregated in the Bolivian Amazon show nearly no sign of dementia, thanks to their active lifestyle and balanced food intake.
