Tarahumara people jogging with rubber sandals, consider running as natural as eating, sleeping habits.

How the Tarahumara tribe lived in the canyons with extreme terrain in the Western Sierra Madre, in northern Mexico, has always been a mystery to modern humans. According to Men's Health, the tribe has the highest average life expectancy in the world , many people live to be over 100 years old, healthy, without modern diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease or cancer. Tarahumara people can jog continuously for one to two days. Aging or disease does not seem to touch these hill warriors.

Tarahumara children are also very healthy, less sick despite being raised on the rugged cliffs, less food. Tribes live without theft, murder or suicide. Cultivation in the cliffs is very difficult, their main food is from corn and beans. Scientists have studied and concluded tribes living in pristine environments, breathing fresh air and harsh living conditions that have trained them to have a stronger physical foundation than modern people.

Tarahumara diets are rich in carbohydrates with 80% of corn, beans, and plants. They control blood sugar well thanks to eating foods in the form of preliminary preparations, adding vegetables, spices from the jungle. People do not have access to ready-to-eat and canned food so they can avoid food preservatives.

Tarahumara people can run all day long. In 1994 there were 5 Tarahumara tribesmen participating in the run of Leadwille 100. This is the best " death " run on the planet because the athlete has to conquer the four consecutive marathon paths, of which 2 are in the dark. The race on a 1,000-meter-high terrain with thin air, overtaking 26 steep steep passes that just need to be broken down is dangerous to life. As a result, three of the tribe's 5 people arrived at the top rank. The winner is a 55-year-old Tarahumara.

AP's journalist Christopher Mcdougall and Men's Health magazine editor are curious about the marvelous running performance of the Tarahumara and should go to the tribe to find a solution. In the book Born to run, which was translated into Vietnamese, Born to Run , Mcdougall mentions, the food that helps the Tarahumara have surprisingly toughness and toughness. In addition, tribal food is only corn . They consume corn and corn milk to provide the necessary carbohydrats for the body.

Thousands of years ago the Aztecs and Maya knew how to plant and use seeds to divide food for soldiers to fight or on long journeys. Today chia seeds are commonly used in the diet of modern people with stable effects of blood pressure, fiber supplement, lowering blood cholesterol.

Christopher McDougall explores the habits that help form the extraordinary jogging ability of the Tarahumara:
