 Health Around the World

When you grow up in a distinctive culture, it influences your lifestyle, your belief system — and perhaps most enjoyably, your diet. You might have a soft spot for mama’s marinara, an aunt’s curry and chapatis, dad’s barbecue ribs or grandmother’s holiday tamales.

Enjoy your culture and the foods that make it special, but look for ways to tweak diet traditions to make them more healthful. The American Academy of Family Physicians and American Cancer Society suggest you reduce your risks for chronic disease by eating more fruits and vegetables, avoiding high-fat and sugary foods, and cutting back on processed foods and red meat.
