Inuit live in the Artic regions of Alaska, Canada and Greenland. Traditionally their diet was very high in fat and protein, consisting almost entirely of fish, marine mammals, and large land animals such as polar bear and caribou. In recent times, changes to more sedentary lifestyles and higher consumption of processed grains and sugars have resulted in a very high rate of diabetes among the Inuit. Inuit Healthy Living Cookbook includes adaptation of traditional dishes to modern lifestyles.
