Not exactly. The number one culprit has always been smoking. The high sodium content in the food facilitates sustained high blood pressure. The bad food choices comes into play with the diabetes and coronary disease epidemic. Stop smoking and the risk of heart attack and stroke is cut in half.

 

Normally I would agree but the problem is that so much of Thailand has so much air pollution. I sometimes wonder if long term exposure to heavy air pollution has nearly the same effect as being a smoker.

At the very minimum of prevention a daily dose of Asprin 300mg for all men over 45 might help. But fags and cheap booze are more fun.

Lao khow and ya dong are my favourite drinks don't take that away from me.....!

PROPER ISAAN FOOD IS HEALTHIEST IN THAILAND
Barbequed Meat, Fish, Chicken, Tom Sep, Som Tum Phu Bala, plenty of raw vegies and limejuice. Khow Niao is also more slowly digested, lower GI.

TT you are right I LIKE ISAAN FOOD a lot of veggies too no sugar and spicy yummie yummie.

No sugar in Issan food, what are you talking about?

Issan food is adulterated with sugar,1 of the most used things in Issan food.

I am forever telling my wife stop putting sugar in the food.
