The good health of the Nenets - the indigenous people of the North - can only be envied! They have excellent endurance, quickly heal wounds, a good reaction to antibiotics (including penicillin), few purulent diseases, and cancer statistics are relatively low ... Nomads have long developed a special protein-lipid type of nutrition. “They eat a lot of meat, a lot of fat. You can’t change this structure and diet!” The scientists say. “The main enemy for the Nenets is alcohol!”
Native northerners do not have resistance to it, so when drinking alcohol, nomads very quickly and easily get drunk .... Scientists from the Novosibirsk Institute of Cytology and Genetics spoke about these and other facts. They have already arrived several times in Yamal (in the Tazovsky district) in order to conduct an examination of the Nenets and draw conclusions about their health status.
