Do Cultural Diets or Fad Diets Work Better?

Michelle Jungmin Bang, author of “Sun & Ssukgat,” emphasizes that a balanced diet isn't one-size-fits-all; it should reflect cultural heritage, genetic background, and individual needs. While diets like Mediterranean or Korean may have specific regional benefits, their core principles—whole foods, diverse ingredients, and mindful eating—can apply universally. Bang highlights the importance of exploring new foods, embracing variety, and prioritizing gut health without unnecessary restrictions. Instead of eliminating entire food groups, incorporating diverse, nutrient-dense options aligns with how humans have traditionally eaten, supporting both health and longevity. True wellness, she notes, comes not just from diet but also from lifestyle factors like movement, connection, and a deeper relationship with food.
