Thanks, Magda.
Did you know that the native Eskimo diet consists primarily of just protein and fats, with insignificant amounts of carbohydrate?
Their brains are supplied by the carbohydrate glucose - the brain's only fuel - synthesized from certain parts of protein and from
a small part of fats. And the fats they consume are mostly from fish, high in omega-3 fats. Eskimos do not have high blood
levels of cholesterol.
Also, without citrus fruits or tomatoes, they obtain their Vitamin C from the adrenal glands of the animals they eat. Human
beings lost the ability to manufacture Vitamin C when their ancestors lived where there was an abundance of fruits and
vegetables containing Vitamin C. Most animals make their own Vitamin C and have no need for an external source.
Eskimos probably consume close to 10,000 kilocalories per day (like lumberjacks in the U.S.), because their bodies need to
maintain a normal body temperature and they work hard physically to survive in their harsh barren cold climate.
