Abstract：
The Mediterranean diet is a well-studied cultural model of healthy eating, yet research on healthy models from other cultures and cuisines has been limited. This perspective article summarizes the components of traditional Latin American, Asian, and African heritage diets, their association with diet quality and markers of health, and implications for nutrition programs and policy. Though these diets differ in specific foods and flavors, we present a common thread that emphasizes healthful plant foods and that is consistent with high dietary quality and low rates of major causes of disability and deaths. In this perspective, we propose that nutrition interventions that incorporate these cultural models of healthy eating show promise, though further research is needed to determine health outcomes and best practices for implementation.
摘要：
地中海饮食是一种经过充分研究的健康饮食文化模式，然而，对来自其他文化和美食的健康模型的研究却很有限。这篇透视文章总结了传统拉丁美洲的组成部分，亚洲人,和非洲传统饮食，它们与饮食质量和健康标志的关系，以及对营养计划和政策的影响。尽管这些饮食在特定的食物和口味上有所不同，我们提出了一个强调健康植物性食物的共同点，这与高饮食质量和低残疾和死亡的主要原因是一致的。从这个角度来看,我们建议纳入这些健康饮食文化模式的营养干预措施显示出希望，尽管需要进一步的研究来确定健康结果和实施的最佳实践。
