"The findings of the present study show that, in comparison to existing evidence, Tsimane indigenous South Americans have the lowest prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis of any population yet studied. This was achieved despite a high infectious inflamatory burden."
"An estimated 14% of their average caloric diet is protein, 14% is fat, and 72% is carbohydrate"
"..carbohydrates are grown in the form of rice, plantain, manioc, and corn via slash-and-burn horticulture, and the Tsimane also gather wild nuts and fruits."
"The Tsimane diet lacks trans fats, and is a low fat diet, with an average estimated daily consumption of 38 g fat, with 11 g saturated fat, 14 g monounsaturated fat, and 8 g polyunsaturated fat."
"Most of a typical Tsimane day involves the physical activity of farming, hunting, food preparation, household chores, and parenting. The average hunt lasts more than 8 h and covers nearly 18 km, while horticultural labour includes using metal axes to chop large areas of primary forest. Men and women spend a mean of 6–7 h and 4–6 h per day engaging in physical activity, respectively."
