According to Dr. Nacha Harinrak, a specialist at the VitaLife Wellness Centre at Bumrungrad International, your diet could be the single most important aspect of your health, vitality, and longevity. In fact, according to the article, Dr. Harinrak suggested that people should consider food the most powerful medicine for better health and wellness.
"For as long as I can remember, my parents have always promoted nutrition and diet to ensure health and wellness," said Alan Wong, general manager at Kung Fu Plaza in Las Vegas. "While we eat American foods too, we balance our diet with Asian dishes because they tend to promote more health benefits. But what is unique about Dr. Harinrak's article is how foods are being directly linked to health and wellness by scientific means."
Ten Tips For Better Health and Anti-Aging Benefits from The VitaLife Center.
1. Proteins are extremely important to a diet, but deep sea fish such as salmon and tuna can provide more benefits without some of the side effects of other proteins. This means fish can help aid in maintinaing weight control, boost muscle mass, and stimulate the immune system.
2. Certain oils such as flaxseed oil , olive oil and fish oils are high in omega 3 and omega 6, which are proven to reduce inflammation, a root cause of cardiovascular disease, migraines, and obesity.
3. Even UCLA has linked vegetables to helping fight and prevent cancer because they contain natural antioxidants. But even more remarkable, specific vegetables can help ward off specific cancers. For example, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can help prevent breast cancer. Tomatoes can help guard against prostate cancer.
4. Mushrooms are known as some of the most potent immune boosters and disease fighters. They have also shown to help protect the cardiovascular system, helping heart patients to avoid a worsening or recurrence of the disease.
5. Nuts are among one of the healthiest ingredients because many of them contain vitamins such as magnesium, selenium, vitamin B-12, and folic acid. However, before going nuts for nuts, always be selective in which nuts you purchase.
6. Thai cuisine is considered one of the healthiest for everyday meals because it includes ingredients such as basil, ginger, lemongrass, and others that promote healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Garlic has also been useful in helping to thin the blood.
7. Water is one of the most important but overlooked ingredients in a healthy diet. Some Asian doctors recommend as much as two or three liters of water per day, which should be enjoyed at room temperature. But even more important, dehydration can lead to negative health effects.
8. There is a reason green tea is hugely popular in Chinese medicine. It contains a great source of antioxidants and can lower blood pressure. ABC recently featured a study that shows it aids in the fight against lung cancer. Even coffee, provided it is enjoyed in moderation, can be beneficial too.
9. In recant years, a specific ingredient in fermented red wine grapes has been associated with fighting cancer and as a strong antioxidant. Ingredients such as resveratrol can aid against cardiovascular diseases and some cancers.
10. Too much sugar can lead to numerous ailments, even if those sugars are caused by carbohydrates, which are abundant in pasta and pizza crust. Some recent studies have even found that too much sugar can cause depression, cause diabetes, have an acidic affect on bones, and cause heart disease.
"One of the many great things about Thai cooking is that we rely on other ingredients to create sweet and sour tastes, but not sugar," said Wong. "People forget that there are natural ways to satisfy a sugar craving without eating a donut. Instead, you might consider eating fruit or certain Thai dishes that do not add sugar but satisfy the craving. Only after you eat fruit or something healthy should you consider something else. And even then, only in moderation."
