Instead of going for the standard American fare like burgers, steaks, barbecue chicken wings, salads, and chips, how about poh, miso soup, vegetable curry, gazpacho, paella, tom yum gung, or spanakopita? These are some of the more well-known ethnic cuisines, and they prove to be excellent for health. As people become more health-conscious, they look for ways to stay healthy, including eating healthy.
