"Ask the population that doesn’t suffer from depression...
….the Kaluli people.
What’s their secret? Keep reading to find out.
It started when an anthropologist in 1986 scoured the Highlands of New Guinea to study the prevalence of depression.
He wasn’t really expecting much. But what he discovered after surveying 2,000 Kaluli tribe members, shocked his expectations.
His discovery?
That the Kaluli people have virtually ZERO depression (in exception of one case).
That’s amazing. Especially when we consider they don’t have ANY of our medicine or comforts.
They also suffer from much more stressful life events than us (high infant mortality rates, violent deaths, and parasitic infections).
Yet, they have WAY lower depression rates than almost every civilized population on Earth.
The same was found with other Hunter Gatherers like the Thai-Lao of Thailand, Toraja of Indonesia, and even the Amish.
How is it possible that primitive people — who live much harder lives than we do — rarely suffer from depression?
The secret lies in their lifestyle habits.
More specifically, two things:
Exercise
Hobbies
Let’s breakdown the first lifestyle habit:
Exercise
Almost 100% of Kaluli people get adequate exercise.
In comparison, only 23% of Americans get ‘adequate’ exercise.
What’s one major side effect of not exercising?
Depression.
As researchers recently discovered, exercise is AS effective as an antidepressant in treating depression (without the side effects).
