It can seem like a very tall order to find a diet plan that consists of foods that you enjoy, that are readily available and that you have the skills to prepare at home – all while being relatively healthy. While eating out at a local Chinese restaurant in College Park may not be ideal for either your wallet or your waistline, Asian style cuisine does have plenty of benefits that make it an ideal option for families – let’s take a look at a few here: Asian Cuisine Can Be Very Healthy Many of the most popular Asian dishes are loaded with a variety of vegetables, low fat protein sources like diced white meat chicken or shrimp and healthy carbs like brown rice. Many of these dishes are (or can be) steamed as well, which can help cut the overall fat content of the dishes down as well. As long as you don’t go overboard with oils for frying or high sodium content sauces for flavoring these dishes can be delicious, low fat, low calorie and very rich in essential nutrients. Asian Cuisine Is Easy to Prepare The staples for most Asian dishes are readily available in any local supermarket and surprisingly affordable. As long as you aren’t focusing solely on the dishes that feature lobster you should be able to make a complete, healthy meal that your entire family will enjoy that will easily fit into your budget. Since the meat (which generally takes longer to cook than veggies) in many of these dishes is diced or cubed, it tends to cook much more quickly than a whole roast, steak or chicken. This makes healthy Asian cuisine a viable dinner option even on nights where your family schedule can be a bit hectic due to work, sports or homework. Many of your favorite Asian dishes, like stir fry, can also be prepared in a single pan which makes clean up easier as well. Asian Cuisine is Appealing to All Senses These dishes are not only delicious and aromatic – they are colorful with bright greens and oranges from your favorite vegetables. This beautiful presentation is important, especially when you’ve got kids who might need encouraging when trying something new.
