Deparam la sal que necesitan de un àrbol de la misma región llamado Tavarí. El Estudio Intersalt es una investigación observacional que ha demostrado una asociación entre la presión arterial y el consumo de sal de la dieta a través de la medición de su excreción urinaria. Los hallazgos encontrados en este grupo poblacional fueron extraordinarios Niveles de presión arterial muy bajos que no se incrementaron con la edad, niveles de colesterol muy reducidos, ausencia de alcoholismo u obesidad. Constituyen un experimento de la naturaleza digno de seguir; desafortunadamente el mundo occidental ha tenido un impacto negativo en sus vidas y cultura
ABSTRACT
The nation yanomami is an isolated and self-sufficient indigenous group who reside in the rainy forest to the south of Venezuela and north of Brazil that has managed to live in harmony with its atmosphere and that has shown ancestral respect to the nature without producing any sweepings or contamination. They obtain the salt that needs from a local tree of called Tavarí. The Intersalt Study is an observational investigation that has demostrated an association between the arterial pressure and the consumption of salt of the diet through the measurement of its urinary excretion. The findings found in this population group were extraordinary very low levels of pressure arterial that are not increased with the age, cholesterol levels very reduced, absence of alcoholism or obesity, very low sodium excretion. They constitute an experiment of the nature worthy to follow; unfortunately western world had much of a negative impact on their lives or culture
