When it comes to keeping the body fit and maintaining a slim and youthful appearance, the Asians have definitely gotten it right. The Asian pyramid is the ultimate diet when it comes to fat loss, health and longevity. The western diet is being blamed for the rapid rise in obesity and chronic diseases. These conditions could have been avoided by a proper healthy diet. But no, we continue to produce processed foods and create new hybrid varieties of plants and animals that have become so far removed from what nature originally intended for us. What we need to do is look eastward and learn from the Asians about healthy eating and right living.
