Picture of The Asian Food Pyramid & Info Asian Food Pyramid & Picture of Food PyramidThe Asian Food Pyramid was developed by the non-profit organization, Oldways Preservation and Exchange Trust of Cambridge, Massachusetts - to depict the traditional diet of Asian culture and its health impact on the Asian society. The USDA Pyramid and the Asian Food Pyramid share many similarities. Both encourage a nutritional diet utilizing ample amounts of grain products, as well as plentiful daily servings of vegetables and fruits. The Asian Food Pyramid specifically separates plant and animal foods. As the picture of the Asian Food Pyramid illustrates below, rice is a main staple in the Asian diet, accounting for one-fourth to three-fourths of the daily calorie intake in this culture. Alcoholic beverages are encouraged in moderation. Physical activity is also encouraged, and goes hand in hand with any healthy diet plan and should be a part of everyone's daily routine - not just the dieter's. Over the years, the Asian diet has become westernized, thus attributing to heart disease, cancer and other health concerns that currently afflict the Western World perhaps lending emphasis to the saying, "We are what we eat."
