I'm often asked to name one thing that can be done right away to get healthier. With respect to food choices, the best suggestion I have is to begin drinking freshly pressed vegetable juices.

One of the joys of Korean cuisine is having a number of healthy and yummy side dishes to eat along with each main course.

Kim chi - fermented, spicy cabbage - is easily the most celebrated Korean side dish.
