Why Vietnamese Food is Healthy

Vietnamese food includes a wide variety of vegetables and herbs instead of oil, and much of the cooking is done with water or broth. The most popular dish, Pho (Vietnamese soup), is low in fat and calories. However, some dishes are loaded with fat and oil, so for health and weight concerns: Avoid fried foods. Stay away from the popular fried fish and fried stuffed chicken drumettes. Instead, select from the wide variety of meats, fish and shellfish that are grilled, simmered, braised or stewed. Wrap with lettuce or rice paper. Lean salads with a wide variety of raw vegetables and, perhaps, grilled meat or seafood are often served wrapped in lettuce or rice paper. Choose these rather than fried spring rolls. Use hoisin sauce and fish saucedipping mixtures. Stay away from the satay (grilled meat on a stick) dipping sauces made with coconut milk and peanut butter, which are high in fat and calories. In this page, I also include some discussion about the health benefits of Vietnamese food. Please share with other visitors and me your though, comments, suggestions, inputs, or any thing else to be included. Your comments may be written in Vietnamese or English http://www.xuvn.com/foodofvietnam/as_health_food.htm
Thank You for Visiting Chd

    Powerful Antioxidants: Sweet, juicy watermelon is actually packed with some of the most important antioxidants in nature. Watermelon is an excellent source of vitamin C and a very good source of vitamin A, notably through its concentration of beta-carotene. Pink watermelon is also a source of the potent carotenoid antioxidant, lycopene. These powerful antioxidants travel through the body neutralizing free radicals. Free radicals are substances in the body that can cause a great deal of damage. They are able to oxidize cholesterol, making it stick to blood vessel walls, where it can lead to heart attack or stroke. They can add to the severity of asthma attacks by causing airways to clamp down and close

    Papayas offer not only the luscious taste and sunlit color of the tropics, but are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium and magnesium; and fiber. Together, these nutrients promote the health of the cardiovascular system and also provide protection against colon cancer. In addition, papaya contains the digestive enzyme, papain, which is used like bromelain, a similar enzyme found in pineapple, to treat sports injuries, other causes of trauma, and allergies.

    Vietnamese food is lighter than the other Asian cuisine. Frying and stir frying is rarely done. The salads are oil free and refreshing.

    Vietnamese style cooking is particularly good for promoting fertility in both men and women as there is little fat used in the cooking process. Lots of green and red vegetables containing vitamin C and E can increase sperm count and improve sperm mobility. Vitamin B6 and B 12 found in chicken, broccoli, squash and pumpkin help maintain reproductive health. Essential fatty acids found in fish and nuts are helpful if you're trying to conceive. Manganese is essential for healthy DNA, which will ensure that your baby is born fit and healthy as well as conceived easily. This is found in lettuce, celery, tea and most nuts. Zinc, which is found in shellfish, lamb, peas and ginger, is essential for male fertility and is a potent antioxidant.

    HI,
    Professional catering is not the same as throwing big parties, or even the same as running a restaurant. You must think about several points, serving staff, health department regulations, and logistics being among the most important.

    Although fast food often brings to mind traditional American fast food such as hamburgers and fries, there are many other forms of fast food that enjoy widespread popularity in the West.

    My first and last visit here was less than memorable. I had the deep fried rice noodles, which made me really ill from all that grease. But from the looks of your post, it’s worth another try!

    I prefer the latter’s spring rolls. Apart from that though, my vote goes to Pho Hoa all the way. It’s always been my dream to make Vietnamese spring rolls at home but it wasn’t easy getting hold of rice spring roll wrappers. Quite recently, they started making an appearance in bigger supermarkets. I suppose that signals how popular Vietnamese cooking has become in the Philippines.

    There's something great about an all natural product that's backed by a fourth-generation family-owned company. And while you might think well pasta sauce is pasta sauce, and salsa is salsa, not true when it comes to Dei Fratelli pasta sauces......

    Blogs did indeed start life as a personal online publishing system which allowed individuals to quickly and simply write, publish and distribute their own opinions via the internet on any subject that took their fancy. These would then appear in chronological order, hence often giving the appearance of a diary type format.
