The Hunza Wheel Of Health And Happiness...
The World’s Ultimate Anti-aging Health And
Wellness Model On A National Scale

The Hunza wheel or model of anti-aging, health and wellness and healthy lifestyle pursuits can be summed up by stating that their philosophy of being revolved around the notion that life should be approached and lived as a comprehensive and complete whole.

These were looked upon as important, inter-related parts of a unified whole – a complete model of anti-aging, health and wellness life components not to be isolated and segregated from the whole of one’s experience.

Every conscious, deliberate action in one area of life had its expected consequences in all other areas of life. This included the relationship between each citizen and their nation.

The health and wellness of each member of Hunza society reflected on and had a direct effect on the health of the entire nation. It was an honor to be born and to live one’s life as a Hunzakut.

Good health begins with the RIGHT attitude

The people of Hunzaland attributed their great health and age, not to some obscure anti-aging potion, but rather to an inborn resolve to remain fit, active, helpful and ultimately useful to the general welfare and economy of the Hunza nation.

It was impossible to find a Hunzakut who did not have a fiery zest for life, an altruistic attitude of service to others and a heartfelt willingness to do whatever was required for the benefit of the community as a whole. Life in Hunzaland could at times be harsh – as in their extremely cold winters - but it was always lived in moderation and ultimately for the benefit of all.

Quite a refreshingly different attitude than what you’ll find permeating the stress-filled households, noisy streets and crowded cities of our bustling world today – wouldn’t you say?

Why was the average citizen of Hunzaland so much healthier and happier than the average person in the Twenty-first Century?

Health and wellness was a permanent way of life – not a periodic fad. Consider:

·         The people of Hunzaland all felt a part of something grand and wonderful. This attitude showed in every aspect of their way of life.

·         The most prominent characteristic of their wonderful culture was the depth and focus of their traditions.

·         They were born into an established, successful society where every aspect of one’s early years of training and social orientation were geared to supporting and sustaining the whole of their remarkable society.

·         There were no ‘bad apples’ in their lot. Everyone was made to feel a part of the whole. Everyone worked for the benefit of the nation as a whole. This necessitated being healthy, fit, cheerful, altruistic, congenial, helpful and concerned for the welfare of others and the nation, inseparable.

·         The Hunza way of government, religious observance, food culture, animal husbandry, disposal of waste, and all other aspects of their collective existence were viewed as important, inter-related facets of the one nation state within the heart and body of God.

With such an indomitable attitude is it any wonder that the Hunza approach to personal hygiene, physiological and mental health would also reflect a truly holistic and whole being philosophy?

Who were the Hunzas and where were they located?

Shades of Alexander The Great….

The military forces of Alexander the Great were withdrawing from Asia just over 2000 years ago.

It was well known at the time that Alexander had a penchant for extracting the strongest young men from the countries he absorbed and conquered and placed these men in his army.

Macedonia, Iran, Turkey, the Balkans and of course Greece were the countries in which he found his best soldiers. This accounted in large part for his legendary military victories – he had the best soldiers on earth fighting his battles.

At one point, a sizeable number of his soldiers took a strong fancy to a harsh looking but enchanting valley situated between India and Afghanistan, high up in a Himalayan mountain pass.

Alexander offered no resistance to the soldiers and their Middle eastern wives who decided to settle down in the valley, which spanned a distance of seven habitable miles.

Within a short time these able-bodied men and women bore children. This was the beginning of the Hunza nation.

From the beginning the Hunzas established a truly royal lineage

The first King of Hunzaland – the Mir - declared a royal lineage branching from Alexander the Great himself.

The Hunza nation flag bore the distinct sign of Alexander – a lion.

The young nation was primarily concerned with the formation of a national code of social, economic and administrative interaction that every citizen of Hunzaland would willingly support.

Having witnessed the best and worst of many cultures during their military exploits, the founders of Hunzaland decided on a simple way of life that included the following important elements:

·         An open form of government where each citizen could have any just grievance heard and arbitrated before the King and his council.

·         The ability to follow one’s heart in religious matters.

·         An inbred sense of duty of each citizen toward all others in Hunzaland and to the nation itself as a sovereign entity.

·         Pride in one’s occupation - whatever its nature - knowing it was a service that contributed to the general welfare and well-being of the nation

·         Promoting strong family ties, healthy recreational pursuits, hobbies, sporting activities, civic functions, religious observances, social engagements and other pastimes that engendered a strong sense of belonging and citizenship. 

·         Perhaps most important of all; development of an organic farming system that would ensure the disease-free health and longevity of the Hunza people.

What can YOU learn from the amazing people of Hunzaland that can enrich your life?  

Plenty! These amazingly healthy and robust people were the world’s ultimate standard for vibrantly healthy and happy living for two thousand years.

The average Hunzakut – as they called themselves – lived to be well over 100 years of age and typically died in good health and with every tooth still intact and cavity-free.

When I say they died healthy, what I mean is that their physically strong and able bodies simply gave out from so many years of living a good, natural life. They rarely ever died from glandular, organ or system failure, as is so common in our modern world.

What the healthy, industrious and eternally cheerful people of Hunzaland once taught Doctors McCarrison and Jensen about anti-aging, health and wellness, obtaining and maintaining robust health, long life and happiness, you can read about in my book: Health And Wellness The Hunza Way.

My enjoyable little book may be the next best thing to you traveling back in time and living for a spell among these remarkable people to learn what it takes to live a long, happy and fruitful life of service.
