The Eskimo Diet Weight Factors

Have you ever been amid a heat wave, then the following day a cold front blows through? It may take those 110 degree temperatures down to 80 but it feels downright cold. Lucky stroke that people adapt to temperatures quite well, and particularly so in the case of Eskimos who must thrive amid the thrusts of the arctic wind.

The Eskimo physique tends to be solidly insulated, comprising of equal fat distribution - and is perhaps nature's way of further engineering the necessary tools to face those bitter elements - a body built to conserve warmth, a body built to endure.

Much study has been done on the Eskimo culture and daily diet in part due to their low incident of heart disease. The focus has been placed on fish in the Eskimo diet which contains heart healthy omega 3's - the good old fats. Combined with the rugged lifestyle in the nooks and crannies of the region, fish adds a healthy spark to overall health.

Eskimos of long ago enjoyed a diet that included: cod, salmon, whale, seal, caribou, fox and hares. The diet contained little vegetation. Today, the Eskimo diet has been modernized - a gift of civilization which brought sugar and starch to the table.

Health Notes on The Eskimo Diet:

- Cold temperatures spawn a quicker metabolism

- Calories are not only burned at a quicker rate, more are required to meet the body's basic energy needs.

- Fish oil may also help combat depression.
