When our scriptures say that people used to live for hundreds and thousands of years in the earlier yugas, we often scoff at it as some mythological tales meant to portray some impossible and impractical facts. However man is limited in vision and hardly goes beyond the normal routine of bread and butter.

Of course having such longevity is only achievable through the practice of yogic techniques, there are examples which show that things are not where we limit them but far beyond those limits.

In a simple but happy tribe in the Hunza region of Pakistan also known as Burosho, there lives a category of people who claim to have a Greek descent. These people have an average age of 120 years. The women over there can bear children even upto 60 years while some residents are over 150 years old.

The only secret which they follow is simple food, lots of fruits, exercise and lack of tension. A few lines dedicated to these super healthy people:

• In the name of modernism, man does not have time to eat or sleep
• Health is not a huge secret, there is nothing to hide or anything deep
• It is all about good food, diet and not taking the junk food as in fashion
• You have been warned of the dangers, so just be beware as per the caution
• Stress is the biggest enemy of mental peace and lowers the physical age
• The methods to burst stress were taught by the ancient rishee and sage
• We have just forgotten to connect with nature and we are paying the price
• Just remain happy, be satisfied, be desireless, wise say so more than thrice
• It is not the suppression of desires but their annihilation from the root
• To make this happen, you need to meditate, so that you mind does reboot
• In ancient times, people lived hundreds of years, yet we say we are advanced
• If the seers would have seen this, with amusement they would have danced
• Let us go back to the roots, not that we should despise science n gifts it gives
• But by diving within we take advantage to the fullest as long as one lives.
