Q. 1. Read the following passage and write a summary.
Modern life really does kill. A remote tribe living deep in the Amazon was found to have the
healthiest arteries ever studied. A new study estimates that an 80 year old from the Tsimane has the
same vascular age as an American in his mid fifties. Heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood
glucose were much lower, probably as result of the tribe’s lifestyle, according to researchers.
The indigenous Tsimane people, who lived in the Bolivian Amazon, have the lowest reported
level of vascular aging for any population. Hardening of the arteries, known as coronary
atherosclerosis, which lead to coronary heart disease and agina, is five times less common than in the
US, according to the research published in the Lancet. Unlike people in the first world, the Tsimane
survive on a diet low in saturated fats and high in non- processed foods. The researches suggest that
the loss of subsistence diets, and the life styles cin modern society could be classed as a new risk
factor for heart disease.
Although the Tsimane life style is very different from that of modern society, researches suggest
that some elements of it are ‘transferable’ and could help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Write its summary

Researchers discovered the Tsimane people of the Amazon have almost no risk of serious heart disease due to diet and physical activity level.
You may not walk like an Egyptian, but you might want to eat like a Tsimane.
A study published in March in The Lancet says the forager-horticulturist tribe in South America has the lowest reported levels of vascular aging of any population on Earth.
