Living healthy normally includes physically working out and a healthy diet. Filipino cuisine is known to be healthy as most dishes use a variety of greens and fruits with meat or seafood. However, there is a stigma on a healthy diet. A lot of people believe that eating healthy, nutritious food equates to being boring and flavorless. There are also people on diets who deprive themselves of snacking or eating desserts because of the fear of added fats and sugars without any health benefits. With this health trend increasing, there have been several food establishments that prove you can eat healthy and deliciously at the same time.
