1. Choose appetizers
Before your main meal is served, it would be nice if you choose a light appetizer first. Besides filling time, appetizers can prevent you from eating most.
For those of you who want to dine in Japanese restaurants, edamame and miso soup can be a healthy choice. In Korean restaurants, kalguksu, which is a kind of broth soup with Korean chicken noodles is better to consume than mandu or dumpling as your appetizer.
2. Eat with vegetables
It's no secret anymore, vegetables can have a tremendous health impact. Depending on the type of restaurant, sometimes there is a BBQ restaurant that already provides vegetables in it such as shabu-shabu and suki in Japanese restaurants. If it's not available, you can ask what menu contains vegetables and some tell you to choose the type. Usually the types of vegetables are broccoli, mustard greens, or mushroom-type.
Then, we recommend that the vegetables be cooked by boiling. Some restaurants add a broth flavor in the stew so that the vegetables you eat taste unique.
3. Pay attention to your red meat intake
It doesn't feel right if you eat a menubarbecue without eating red meat. Indeed, red meat is an animal source that is rich in protein. However, it would be better if you do not consume red meat excessively.

Actually it doesn't mean you can't eat red meat at all. You certainly can eat red meat, but pay attention to the portion so that it is not excessive. Always balance with vegetables and fruit so that your daily nutritional needs are sufficient, not excessive on certain nutritional components.
4. Be careful when burning meat
Burning meat can cause the formation of carcinogenic compounds that can cause cancer. Burning that occurs at high temperatures can cause a reaction which then forms carcinogenic compounds called heterocyclic amine (HCA) and policyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
Both of these compounds can cause cancer if they have caused damage to DNA. To be able to damage DNA, HCA and PAH must be metabolized or activated first by certain enzymes in the body. So, the effect of grilled meat consumption on cancer risk might be different for everyone.
There are a number of things you can do to reduce the formation of HCA and PAH compounds in grilled meat, namely:
- Don't burn meat too long
- Do not eat charred parts of meat
- Turn the meat frequently when it is burned
