In Asian, such kinds of health problems are not as common as in Western countries. Asians appear to live longer as well.

Sweet food is eaten only in moderation. In contrast to westerners, Asians eat much rice and noodles. Leafy vegetables like cabbage are on the menu of most Asian meals.

Vegetables oils are commonly used in Asian cooking. In comparison, butter is used more often in Western cooking.However, fast-food restaurants and Western-style eating patterns have become more common in Asian.
