Living in Asia has it's advantages, every now and then, especially when you talk to the people from the less developed areas, you come across Ancient wisdoms and medicines, like this ancient cure for obesity.
Yesterday while having lunch with a poor farmers daughter from the North Eastern Issan region of Thailand I learned this age old wisdom to avoid gaining weight which is a definite cure for obesity...
... We were having lunch - I was eating a large serving of spicy pork omlette and rice (Kai Jeow Moo Sap Gap Khao) and she was eating a plain (read extra spicy) bowl of noodles with an egg mixed in.
Now my friend is a tiny petite small woman, in very good physical condition, yet her height and build have nothing to do with this ancient cure for obesity (before anyone uses that as an excuse) she is only 5' tall and 45kg. So for her to gain weight would be very, very easy as even a kg or 2 would show quiet dramatically on her tiny frame.
So we sat eating, about 1/2 way through her bowl she sat back, thought for a moment and uttered these words of ancient asian wisdom passed down generation to generation. "Eat just enough, not eat too much or get fat."
She then pushed her bowl away and ordered a drink of water.
If only all the educated Westerners could only follow this girls example then the West could:
