(Newswire.net via Emailwire.com — March 6, 2013) Scottsdale, AZ — Asian food in general has always topped the health charts for longevity and higher quality of life. Korean and Japanese with higher consumption of fish has a lot to do with it, but Chinese food leads the list of affordable eating and healthy combinations that guide the way.
A lot of vegetables and sliced and cut meats that are in bite sizes probably are good indicators that by its very nature of cut up foods that are easier to digest and chew, perhaps there is this component that plays the largest role. Chinese food in general however is not as fatty and although some may be fried, a lot more is stir fried in a wok with little oil that is primarily for greasing the wok rather than mixing with the food.
The abundance of green and leafy vegetables such as bok choy and broccoli are anti-oxidants that carry nutritional vitamins and digest well in the body. The mix of foods that is shared may also be a good reason as more food gets passed around “family style” with bowls of rice and combinations that are blended in compact serving dishes.
Eating implements like chopsticks are also an interesting fact. How much food in aggregate amounts can be gathered between two sticks versus using a fork and a spoon? Chopsticks in general are harder to eat with which also slows down the eating process also dictating less consumption of food. Thus, the body can digest food better and reach a higher level of satisfaction earlier.
Soups are often served in a broth based type that is commonly known to reduce the appetite by 20%. Although rice is served at every meal, the rice bowls are tiny, holding less than 100 calories per bowl. Certainly there are dishes that exceed 1,500 calories but these are more the exception than they are the norm. There is empirical evidence about health and the Chinese food diet.
