Healthy Eating: 3 Reasons Why You Should Start Eating Vietnamese Food

In a recent article on CNN, Annie Corapi has positioned Vietnamese food at the top three healthiest ethnic cuisines which believed to be “light, nutritious, and incredibly yummy” . To make things clear, I have got a small talk with chef Bay to find out 5 reasons (according to our health-conscious chef) we should all have more Vietnamese dishes on our tables.









1.    To keep your look younger!!!

Meat is not the main attraction in Vietnamese Cuisine, we love vegetable, we love salad. First- time visitor to Vietnam can be surprised by a huge number of authentic salad selections in this country. One of the most famous vegie dishes all over Vietnam is the (green) mango salad which is marinated with fish sauce (not salt) and mint. Such dish is full of vitamin E, a very useful element to fight free radicals in your body (one of the major causes of pre mature ageing).

2.       To aid your digestion!!!

Vietnamses cooking style employs a wide range of “traditional flavourings” (including cilantro, mint, Thai basil, star anise, and red chili) to remedies all sort of aliments; and cilantro and mint are already proved to support the function of liver as well as relief from indigestion.

In the past, Vietnamese farmers’ experience indicate that a bowl of soup (full of herb) is the best medicine to find of bloating 


3.       To lose weight… (Chef Bay’s favorite part)

"This cuisine, prepared the traditional way, relies less on frying and heavy coconut-based sauces for flavor and more on herbs, which makes it lower in calories," – said Chef Bay.
A giant bowl of Vietnamese Sour Clam Soup (Morning Glory soup for example) contain less than 300 calories each and probably 0g of fat per serving, which mean you could eat one every day together with a small bowl of rice for lunch/ dinner as part of your diet program.

Danger: Almost Vietnamese dishes are healthy to be eaten, please be careful with Vietnamese traditional dishes for Chinese New Year (Banh Chung, Gio Thu, Thit Dong). Such dishes are prepared for the below 10 degree Celsius weather will contain a large amount of fat and calories to maintain the flow of energy during for Vietnamese People.
