Below are some of the top eating habits from around the world. Incorporating them in your diet can do amazing wonders in your health.
Get herby.
If you’ve gone to Persia, you will be amazed of how people there maximise the use of herbs to flavour their food. Not only does this habit give them scrumptious and aromatic foods each time, it is also a great way to supply their body with essential nutrients and antioxidants that protect them from diseases.
Go nuts.
Another interesting eating habit of people in Turkey, Greece and Italy is incorporating healthy fats in their diet. Nuts are a source of energy as well as monounsaturated fats that are good for your heart. They are also simple, easy-to-eat that you can pack on the go. Try making your own trail mix of nuts by combining pistachios, almonds, pecans and peanuts. Yum.
Get spicy!
Indian and Ethiopian cuisines are known for being rich in spices. If you want to spice up your food as well as your life, try incorporating ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, pepper, chilli, mustard and various different spices.
Eat more fish.
You can’t leave Japan without getting a taste of authentic sushi and sashimi. Fish is a good source of good fats and zinc that are both beneficial to your body. Enjoy more fish and less meat and you will be healthier than ever!
Enjoy fruits.
If you have a sweet tooth, go for naturally sweet produce like fruits instead of sugary treats. Stock up on bananas, papaya, grapes, pineapples and berries. You also want to try seasonal fruits to add flavour and variety in your diet. They are sweet, juicy and delicious. What’s more important - they are good for your body too.
Indulge in vegetables.
In the centre of the Mediterranean diet are fresh produce including vegetables. In Greece, they cook vegetables with olive oil instead of butter, and flavour them with herbs and spices. Indulging in a big bowl of vegetable salad is a great technique to fill your stomach up without increasing your intake of calories.
