Scientists managed to find out what the representatives of the Bolivian tribe Tsimane eat, which even in old age have a healthy heart. According to Gizmodo, according to researchers, the key to heart health in the tribe lies in a special diet and exercise.

Scientists investigated 705 members of the tribe and determined the index of coronary calcium, which allows you to determine the risk of developing coronary heart disease. If this indicator is equal to 100-400, then there is a high risk of mild violations of the functions of the coronary arteries.

It turned out that 85% of the representatives of Tsimane had this index at zero, while 13% had from one to 100. Moreover, 65% of the tribe population, whose age was more than 75 years, this indicator was zero.
