Living water, secrets of the magnetic field or a unique climate? What saves from diseases and what is a person who has lived for more than a hundred years afraid of? In the south-west of Kabardino-Balkaria, the village of Eltyubu knows the secrets of longevity
Her morning begins with a bean guess. Predicts himself sadness or cheerfulness. Zukhra Mirzoeva rarely goes out to neighboring yards. After the death of her husband, Khamzat died at 116 years old, neither the air nor the mountains of her native Eltyubu pleases her. And only great-grandchildren are a joy. They are preparing for the 105th birthday of Zukhra's grandmother. And already they themselves bring water from the spring, like from a fairy tale - living and miraculous, the secret of the longevity of the Upper Chegemians.
Zukhra Mirzoeva says: "This water is gold, it comes from the mountains."
Four children, years of eviction and work as a milkmaid from the age of 13. Today, at 105, grandmother Zukhra recalls her youth. And she herself does not believe that she has survived to deep gray hairs, having retained her health and strength. She gave birth to her last, youngest son at almost 69 years old.
Rumors began to spread about the power of an almost mystical place - Verkhniy Chegem. And the truth is, either from conviction, or from the magic of the climate, miracles began: the water did not freeze in the cold, and in the dishes it could stand for years without losing its pure spring taste. The professorship of the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism still gave scientific substantiation to the secrets of these places. The village stands on the site of a natural pyramid of magnetic waves, hence the wonders. 98-year-old Sakinat Teberdieva believes in science, but more - in the sign of the Almighty.
Sakinat Teberdieva says: “I eat bread, cheese. In childhood, I was ill 5 times, and that's all. I've never taken a pill in my life. Afraid for what? That I will live the same amount of time.
Here people believe in the magic of climate, and scientists of the world are defending whole dissertations on the miracle of Verkhny Chegem, the object of which is longevity, which has settled in the houses of Eltyubu.
