Eating healthily around the world

Most Americans and Northern Europeans believe that the typical diet in their country is unhealthy. They point to the fact that there are so many people in their countries who are fat and, sometimes, very fat, or obese. People are not usually fat because they eat the wrong foods, but because they simply eat too much. Americans, for example, typically eat 1,500 calories more than the 2,200 they really need every day. But do people from other countries eat better?

People across the world make their meals from basically the same ingredients. So we all eat meat, poultry, fish, grains (such as rice) fruit and vegetables, but they don’t make the same type of meals. People in different countries use the ingredients in different ways. We can learn from the areas of the world where they have a good diet and as a result live longer and are healthier.

Take meat, for example. Scientists know it is not good to eat a lot of meat. They found this studying people in Asia, where people use meat to add favour to vegetable dishes and not as the main ingredient. That way they get the taste of meat without eating too much. Unlike the Asians, Argentineans are famous for eating meat, but they always choose the leanest cuts and in this way they avoid eating as much fat as the North Americans. Other countries such as some African countries replace meat with nuts. The result is they don’t have some of the health problems Northern Europeans and North Americans have.

But maybe the best advice comes from those French people who can eat a lot and stay slim. Their secret – take your time and put your knife and fork down between each bite. People who eat slowly enjoy the taste more. They also know when they have eaten too much!
