Becauese none of the meat they ate was processed. And they also ate a lot of fish too. Which is good for the heart.
Just remember that when westerns first went to live with Eskimos they got sicked and died because the diet is so unbalanced. They have grown used to it over the years and can tolerate it but by our standards it is very unhealthy.
