I don't know if the diet is healthy or not - I am just stating that the culture itself does not place an emphasis on protein to the extent that snakes or insects become a viable source of food, but still results in healthy lifespans of 90-100 years (anecdotal of course) which is a desirable outcome for me personally. You could say that adding snake meat to my diet will increase my lifespan by 20 years and that would still seem like an outrageous choice for me to make.
