How to Eat for a Healthy Lifestyle


February 25, 2010

Ethnic Cuisine Enhances Variety and Nutrition


Many people equate “healthy eating” with “having no choices.” If that describes you, spice up your menu – with ethnic cuisine.
If you’re hesitant to try ethnic cooking, start slowly. Work a few new foods into your repertoire or just season familiar dishes differently.

Try:
•Tabouli, dolmas, baklava and falafel (Greek)
•Burritos, enchiladas, gazpacho and flan (Mexican)
•Spring rolls, stir-fried tofu and pad thai (Thai)
•Tandoori chicken, lentil dishes and naan (Indian).

If you find you’re enjoying ethnic foods, slowly add more choices to your meal planning and sample more options when dining out. And don’t be afraid to ask questions about ingredients or preparation.
