Japanese? Indian? Mexican? Each cuisine has its pros and cons, but some are much healthier than others. Although each country serves various dishes depending on the region, there are undoubtedly five that generally serve healthy dishes day in and day out in their regular cooking. With this list of cuisines, you'll know when you crave going out to eat what type of food won't break your diet and ruin your efforts.

Greek

There is a very good reason why doctors and nutritionists love and recommend Mediterranean food. Greeks tend to eat fresh seasonal vegetables, green plants, wheat germ, olive oil, and plenty of Omega 3-rich fish. In Greece, they are known for not using breading or batter; they stick to eating all the ingredients in their simplest form.

Vietnamese

Lots of fish and seafood combined with preparations that don't use much oil but rather water or chicken or beef broth make for a very healthy cuisine. Additionally, their use of vegetables in 80% of their gastronomy means that Vietnamese people, from a young age, are filled with vitamins and minerals that other countries in the world do not find in their traditional cuisine.

Vietnamese Shrimp

Japanese

Raw food, high-quality fish, and steamed rice are the foundation of Japanese cuisine. Here, ingredients are greatly respected, and you never see them loaded with sauces or seasonings that could add calories. Just by looking at sushi, one can notice that less is more and that raw fish with a bit of soy sauce and rice goes a long way.

Sushi Cake

Indian

Many may think of chicken curry when they think of Indian food, but the reality is that it is a predominantly vegetarian country. They use a multitude of spices and seasonings to flavor the lentils, grains, and rice that they use in their cuisine. Furthermore, the spiciness of their foods is an excellent booster of our natural antioxidants.

Green Beef or Chicken Curry

Italian

This last cuisine may sound strange as we know that pasta and pizza are not exactly diet foods. The reality is that their base ingredients: olive oil, tomatoes, basil, olives, seafood, and garlic are excellent for health and very low in calories. If one is moderate with pasta, then they will find that Italian cuisine, like Greek cuisine, makes the Mediterranean diet one of the best for maintaining figure.
