My wife is Chinese & one thing I noticed is that I have never felt better than when I stayed for extended periods in China. They take that hot/cold stuff seriously & based on anecdotal evidence I think I'm living a healthier lifestyle & eating better when I'm in China.
Also, Chinese traditional medicine healed an ailment for me that stumped the best (european) specialists, even though I had absolutely no faith in that nasty chinese medecine.
One of the things that may make a difference is that more traditional cultures take food more seriously. We tend to think about food as either a trendy thing to do, like eating out, or just 'filling up on calories', like junk food. A healthy middle ground where people actually take the time to cook & enjoy fresh food seems to be lost.
