The Hunza cuisine, also called the Burusho cuisine (Burushaski: بروشو دݘیرس), consists of a series of selective food and drink intake practiced by the Burusho people (also called the Hunza people) of northern Pakistan. Alternative medicine and natural health advocates have argued without providing any scientific evidence that the Hunza diet can increase longevity to 120 years.^[1] The diet mostly consists of raw food including nuts, fresh vegetables, dry vegetables, mint, fruits and seeds added with yogurt. The cooked meal, daal included with chappati, is included for dinner.
