Healthy Chinese Food

That said, do not give up Chinese food just because you're on a diet, because there are plenty of healthy Chinese dishes with fresh vegetables and protein, low fat, like chicken or fish. Even frying does not use large amounts of fat, but in any case, many Chinese dishes steamed, and that's really a healthy choice.

Soy sauce is a common Chinese ingredients and creates a natural salt, and vitamin B6 and isoflavones, which are probably responsible for reducing cholesterol levels and thereby a healthy heart, so the low incidence of cardiovascular disease. So, enjoy healthy Chinese food, but watch those calories and you'll have a nutritious diet, as with any other kitchen.
