Summary
There are many health benefits of Asian food. It has identified plants (eg. green tea, cabbage vegetables, soya and soya products) that possess healthy properties, including antioxidant effects, modulation of detoxification enzymes, stimulation of the immune system, reduction of inflammation. Green tea is one of the extensively investigated dietary sources of chemopreventive agents. Recent studies have shown that soy products lower LDL cholesterol levels without affecting the HDL cholesterol levels. These are compounds similar to that of estrogen, and have been shown to help fight against breast cancer. A reduced incidence of different types of cancer has been linked to consumption of cabbage vegetables, and there is evidence that glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products play a role in reducing cancer risk.
Key words: asian food, green tea, flawonoids, isoflavones, cardiovascular diseases, cancer
