Top 3 healthy ingredients from the Indian diet
Dear Karim,
For those of us who have lived our entire lives in the same country, our own Western diet is all we’ve ever known. We’ve eaten the same foods, struggled with the same health issues, and only in the last few years have we begun to experience an influx of cuisines and food cultures from around the world.
And boy have we been missing out!
You’d be amazed by how healthy some people around the world are thanks to their diet. For example, did you know that Japan has the longest lifespan of any country in the world? Not only that, but one region of the country—the island of Okinawa—has a higher life expectancy than the rest of the country. Can you guess what causes this? You got it: their diet!
Countries that follow diets different from the modern Western diet tend to be healthier overall, have fewer long-term and chronic health problems, and still enjoy a broad variety of foods. That’s not to say that each diet is perfect, but there’s something that can be drawn from each in order to improve our diet.
By pulling bits and pieces—also known as “the healthiest foods”—from each country, you can improve your own eating habits drastically. You can still enjoy all your favorite flavors, and even some new ones, all the while upgrading the nutritional quality of what you put in your body. It will take some getting used to, but the outcome is going to be a healthier, happier you. It’s healthy eating at its core, along with plenty of international culture.
So during the next couple of weeks, I will be taking you to virtual culinary journeys of health through some of the healthiest countries around this wonderful world of ours!
So sit back, relax, and enjoy it

Let's first take a trip to India.
You’ll find all sorts of fascinating and delicious ingredients you may have never tried before!
Indian food is rich, spicy, flavorful, and incredibly diverse, with hundreds or even thousands of varieties on their basic dishes. At its core, it’s also surprisingly healthy.
Indian obesity rates have risen in the last few years, but it affects just 5% of the country’s population. Compare that to the U.S., where obesity rates are no less than 25% of the adult population in 48 out of the 50 US States, and you can immediately see the differences!
But what it is about the Indian diet that contributes to lower obesity rates? In what ways is the Indian diet healthier than the Western diet?
Here are a few staple ingredients that make a HUGE difference:
Turmeric
Indian cuisine is known for its many, many spices, all of which contain medicinal properties. Few, however, are as potent as turmeric!
Turmeric, the bright yellow root that adds both its color and flavor to hundreds of Indian dishes, is renowned for its various uses. Indian traditional medicine uses it to heal gastrointestinal problems, speed up wound recovery, combat rheumatic disorders, treat rhinitis, and kill off intestinal parasites.
Studies have proven that turmeric—specifically curcumin, the active antioxidant ingredient in the spice—offers a lot of benefits to your health.
First off, it’s a natural anti-inflammatory agent, which can help to decrease chronic disease, cardiovascular health problems, atherosclerosis, cancer, metabolic syndrome, and more. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties are considered on par with many anti-inflammatory drugs, but with none of the side effects.
It’s also a natural antioxidant, which can neutralize free radicals and can have a chemopreventative effect in the body, inhibiting the enzymes that contribute to inflammation. It may also one day proven to an effective anti-cancer treatment (with further research).
Other benefits may include:
- Improved brain function
- Reduced risk of heart disease
- Improved response in rheumatoid arthritis patients
- And the list goes on!
Ginger
Ginger is another potent and tangy spice added into Indian cuisine. It’s not only incredibly flavorful, but you’ll find that it offers some pretty amazing health benefits.
According to one systematic review of multiple studies, ginger is an amazing spice to use to combat obesity. It has the ability to:
- Reduce lipogenesis, also known as the metabolic formation and storage of fat
- Increase thermogenesis, raising the internal temperature in your body
- Boost your metabolism, specifically increasing lipolysis (fat-burning)
- digestion and decrease stomach upset
- Prevent intestinal fat absorption
- All of these things combine to make ginger a truly potent and effective spice.
But ginger is also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It’s loaded with zingerone, an antioxidant that works like curcumin in turmeric (see above) to decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and more.
If you want to be healthier, it’s time to add more ginger into your diet!
Red Chili Peppers
Indian food is famous for being spicy, and a lot of that fame comes from the multiple varieties of red hot chili peppers that are added into the dishes.
Red chili peppers aren’t just good for setting your mouth on fire—they’re also amazing for your health. Here are just a few of the things they can do:
- Fight inflammation, thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of capsaicin
- Reduce pain associated with inflammatory conditions, including arthritis and psoriasis
- Provide pain relief both topically and internally
- Reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- the risk of blood clots
- Lower heart attack and stroke rates
- Clear congestion in the nasal passages
- Boost your immunity to disease
- Prevent stomach ulcers
- Raise your internal temperature and metabolism to help you burn more fat
- Lower Type 2 Diabetes risk
I hope you enjoyed this virtual trip to India with me and you learnt something useful.
And I can't wait to take you to the next country and share with you their healthiest foods.
Have a great rest of the week, Karim.
Much love & health,
Stefan
