It’s clear we’re living in a time where we are gaining awareness and control of our body and our health. A couple of decades ago it was difficult to find a nutritionist, nobody knew what a celiac was and we didn’t know that intolerance to cow’s milk was common place.
Today we’re not surprised if someone becomes a vegetarian, everyone knows someone who is a vegan, and visiting a nutritionist to be well informed as to how to gain or lose weight or indeed to treat an illness, is understood and valued.
The world renowned benefits of a Mediterranean diet include unsaturated fats from olive oil, blue fish and nuts that predominate the diet, as well as plenty of fresh vegetables, bread and other cereal based products.
Nevertheless, if you want your brand to be associated with healthy living, you must give a thought to Japanese cuisine and other oriental traditions.
What is becoming so popular from the Far East, in Western Cuisine?
Many healthy ways of cooking originate from the Far East, such as stir frying in a wok and steam cooking. Highly nourishing ingredients are used daily; elements such as seaweed, soya in all its formats (tofu, sauce, miso, bean shoots and sprouts), rice vinegar, root ginger and green tea are also becoming incorporated into our diet.
The two main differences between oriental and western diets are:
- The use of rice as the basic cereal, therefore celiacs have a wide variety of gluten free products to choose from.
- A total absence of lactose in recipes and processed food, as milk from any animal and its products are generally not consumed. Asian dishes are therefore advisable for people who are lactose intolerant or have allergies to lactose.
