What is the Asian Diet???

The Asian diet is an ancient and time honored way of eating. For thousands of years people of the Asian world have eaten a diet based on plant foods such as rice, vegetables, and fresh fruits. Unlike Western diets, meat is rarely the main dish of any meal but rather an accent and flavor compliment. Fish is often eaten in main courses.

In many Asian cultures diet is closely related to religious practices and tradition. It is an extremely healthful diet. Asian populations who have access to a sufficient variety of traditional foods are some of the healthiest and longest lived people on Earth. Many chronic illnesses that plague Western cultures such as heart disease, cancer, and obesity occur rarely in these cultures.

According to OECD, the United States has the highest percentage of overweight and obese people in the world as of 2017. In contrast, Japan has one of the lowest obesity rates at three percent. There is no doubt that an Asian diet is the better choice for people’s health compared to the standard American diet.  Americans need to eat like Asians to lose weight, reduce diabetes, heart diseases, and to improve their general health.
