Thai cuisine is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. In fact, several Thai dishes, such as Tom Yum Soup, are currently under scientific study for their incredible health benefits (see Thai Soup Under Study). Of course, it's already known that many of the fresh herbs and spices used in Thai cooking - such as turmeric, galangal, coriander, lemongrass, and fresh chillies - have immune-boosting and disease-fighting power.

Find out more about these and other ingredients that contribute to making Thai food one of the healthiest you can eat.

Each of the following Thai ingredients has numerous health benefits and immune-boosting power. To maximize these benefits, I recommend cooking your Thai food from scratch, which means you are using only the freshest ingredients. (To learn how to cook Thai food, see: Easy Thai Recipes, Step by Step (with pictures).

Turmeric
Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is known as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to relieve allergy symptoms as well as arthritis (or any condition caused by excess inflammation). It is also a powerful anti-oxidant, that can protect the body from damage by toxins and free radicals. Curcumin also protects platelets in the blood, improving circulation and protecting the heart.

As such, turmeric has been known to:



be a valuable digestive aid
helps those with arthritis
improve cardiovasular (heart) conditions
protect the body from bacterial infections (such as wounds)
fight skin and breast cancers in animal studies.
To add more turmeric to your diet, try to eat curry (the kind that includes turmeric, like yellow curries) at least once a week. Try, for example my Easy Thai Yellow Curry Chicken Recipe, which is easy to make and tastes delicious!

Galangal
Though foreign to most of us in the West, this relative of ginger has many of the same health benefits, most notably its ability to aid with digestion.

Galangal is now grown in most Southeast-Asian countries, but was first harvested for use in cooking and medicine in China and Java. By the Middle Ages, galangal was already in common use throughout Europe. Referred to as “the spice of life” by St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), galangal was, in fact, one of her favorite remedies. This famous herbalist used galangal to treat everything from deafness and heart disease to indigestion.

Today, galangal is used extensively in Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, and is often thought to be even more beneficial than ginger in some ways.

Galangal has been found to:

alleviate abdominal discomfort and pain
assist in digestion
remedy vomiting, seasickness and motion sickness
improve blood circulation in hands and feet
treat diarrhea
fight inflammation, thereby treating arthritis
treat ulcers and inflammation of the stomach
even cure the hiccups!
