Have you ever wondered why most of the Asian people have a fit body and an attractive figure? Well, the reason for that certainly is a healthy diet that is free from saturated fats and refined sugar. Moreover, people in Asia eat small portions and their meals are served in small bowls.
Almost all Asian meals contain rice, which usually is combined with meat, fruits, and veggies. As a replacement for rice, many people eat corn, noodles (made with integral flour) or integral bread.
Asian diet consists of onions, garlic, spinach, Swiss chard, and other veggies. In order to get all of the nutrients contained in them, it is advisable to eat them fresh with some oil and vinegar.
