Tarahumara Indians - The Men Who Live Forever - Men's Health article about the men who live forever. Why spend our whole lives working just to end up dying prematurely before we get to enjoy retirement? Why not just live simple like the Tarahumara and enjoy an entire lifetime instead of just a portion of one.
“In Tarahumara Land, there was no crime, war, or theft. There was no corruption, obesity, drug addiction, greed, wife-beating, child abuse, heart disease, high blood pressure, or carbon emissions. They didn’t get diabetes, or depressed, or even old; fifty year-olds could outrun teenagers and eighty-year-old great-granddads could hike marathon distances up mountainsides. Their cancer rates were barely detectable…According to the Mexican historian Francisco Almada, a Tarahumara champion once ran 435 miles, the equivalent of setting out for a jog in New York City and not stopping till you were closing in on Detroit. Other Tarahumara runners reportedly went three hundred miles at a pop.”
