Anyone who's been to the Philippines knows how much Filipinos love to eat. Food is more than just physical nourishment. It is a huge part of culture, community, and celebration that they very much enjoy sharing with anyone willing to partake. Many Filipinos don't get the required nutrients the body needs because they are not eating enough fruits and vegetables, according to a study. A 2013 study of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) revealed that the typical Filipino diet is composed of rice, fish and vegetables-with rice taking up the largest portion in the plate. Despite the consumption of vegetables, the study found that it is meager and does not meet the recommended half-plate of fruits and vegetables per meal or at least five to nine servings daily. Fruits and vegetables are important in the daily food consumption of every individual as they contain a variety of nutrients including vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. The said nutrients are responsible in keeping the body healthy and preventing diseases. Filipino food (known locally as "native" food and abroad sometimes as pinoy cooking) is somewhat similar to Indonesian and Malaysian food but often has a distinctive sour taste. Chinese- and Spanish- influenced food are featured most prominently during holidays and feasts. Native Filipino food is peasant rural food of farmers and fishermen. Filipinos' food expert Doreen Fernandez told Newsweek, "We have the least spicy except in one or two provinces. The big colonial mixture has diluted our cuisine."

What most people mean when they say "Filipino Diet" are the regular eating habits and food selections made by Filipinos. Many different civilizations have left their mark on Filipino food, from the Malay to the Chinese to the Spanish and the Americans. Rice, pork, shellfish, veggies, and tropical fruits are common ingredients in a typical Filipino meal. The following are examples of staples in Filipino cuisine: - One of the most common accompaniments to most Filipino dishes is rice. - Soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns are the main ingredients in the classic Filipino adobo recipe, which is prepared by marinating and simmering meat (usually pork or chicken). - A sour soup called sinigang is usually prepared with tamarind, tomatoes, a variety of vegetables, and either fish or meat. - Lechon: A festive dish that is typically served during special occasions, it features a whole roasted pig. - Noodle meals, like Pancit Canton or Pancit Bihon, are popular and can be found in several regional variants. - Tropical fruits: Mangoes, bananas, pineapples, and coconuts are some of the Philippines' most famous fruits. - Balut, a fertilized duck egg, fish balls, and kwek-kwek, quail eggs, are some of the most popular street foods in the Philippines. - One Filipino dish is kare-kare, a stew of oxtails cooked in a thick peanut sauce. - Veggies, meat, or a mix of the two can be found inside the spring rolls called lumpia. - Ginger, green papaya, and chili leaves are the main ingredients in Tinola, a chicken soup. It's worth mentioning that different locations and individuals in the Philippines have different dietary preferences. The rich and varied cuisine is a reflection of the country's past, present, and future through its history, geography, and cultural influences. Furthermore, as a result of globalization and shifting lifestyles, contemporary eating habits in the Philippines can potentially absorb components of foreign cuisine.

Sally Fallon Morell, bestselling author of Nourishing Traditions, debunks diet myths to explore what our ancestors from around the globe really ate--and what we can learn from them to be healthy, fit, and better nourished, today The Paleo craze has taken over the world. It asks curious dieters to look back to their ancestors' eating habits to discover a "new" way to eat that shuns grains, most dairy, and processed foods. But, while diet books with Paleo in the title sell well--are they correct? Were paleolithic and ancestral diets really grain-free, low-carb, and based on all lean meat? In Nourishing Diets bestselling author Sally Fallon Morell explores the diets of our primitive ancestors from around the world--from Australian Aborigines and pre-industrialized Europeans to the inhabitants of "Blue Zones" where a high percentage of the populations live to 100 years or more. In looking to the recipes and foods of the past, Fallon Morell points readers to what they should actually be eating--the key principles of traditional diets from across cultures -- and offers recipes to help translate these ideas to the modern home cook.
