Ethnic cuisines of different peoples of the world are becoming more and more popular every year and are gradually being introduced into our lives. From the point of view of dietology and proper nutrition, some national cuisines differ from the rest by the high content of useful and necessary substances in the ingredients. What are the world's most useful cuisines?

Step 1
Japan is one of the countries with the longest life in the population. The staple foods of Japanese cuisine include greens, Chinese cabbage, seaweed, rice, soybeans, and soy products (tofu, miso paste). Fish is consumed by the Japanese much more often than chicken or meat, in contrast to European countries. This means that the unsaturated fat content that is good for the cardiovascular system is much higher than the saturated fat found in poultry or beef. Even the sweets we are used to in Japanese cuisine are made from ingredients derived from rice or beans.
What makes this kitchen even healthier is the cooking method. In Japan, almost no fat is used in cooking. The consumed drinks here include tea, less often wine. Brown rice adds a high fiber diet to the diet.
Step 2
Thai cuisine includes fresh vegetables, herbs and spices. Thais love to cook rice soup, as well as curry dishes with fish, coconut milk, and also replenish the dishes with numerous herbs and spices (such as chili, coriander, saffron, turmeric, cilantro, cumin). Thailand has a low rate of gastrointestinal cancers, and this is likely due to the high consumption of certain spices, such as ginger and lemongrass, which have a beneficial effect on the digestive system. As in Japan, the main cooking methods are frying or steaming, using a minimum of fat. Often a Thai meal ends with fresh fruit rather than sweet desserts.
Step 3
Greece is located in the heart of Europe. She is known for her Mediterranean diet, which helps to strengthen the body's cardiovascular system. Greek cuisine is high in unsaturated fat (olive oil, fish) and low in saturated fat (meat and fried foods). The most popular foods in Greek cuisine include olives, nuts, seafood, goat cheese, yogurt, stuffed grape leaves, even lamb. Many sauces are tomato-based, and most salad dressings are made with a combination of olive oil and vinegar.
Step 4
Traditional Mexican food is prepared using beans, rice, tomatoes, cereal tortillas and corn. Beans and rice work together to form a complete protein, so this is a great option for vegetarians. The most common consumption is avocado or guacomole, which contain unsaturated fats that are more beneficial to the body, as opposed to sour cream or our usual cheese.
