The Hunza Diet is a nutrition program based on the famous Pakistani people of the Hunza Valley in the Himalayas, called the Hunzakuts. This indigenous group is popular in its diet because of its long-lasting reputation, with a maximum life expectancy of one hundred and twenty to one hundred and forty. This makes the Hunza diet attractive for people who are not only looking for a healthier alternative to their current lifestyle, but also longevity.
