The fusion of Chinese and Western culinary traditions has evolved into a unique gastronomic phenomenon that bridges cultural boundaries while promoting health. This paper explores the intersection of Chinese-Western fusion cuisine and modern health science, analyzing its historical development, global influence, and contributions to healthy eating. By merging diverse ingredients, techniques, and health-focused innovations, fusion cuisine achieves both gastronomic satisfaction and nutritional balance. Utilizing systematic sample analysis, nutritional assessments, and case studies, this research highlights the potential of fusion cuisine in preventing chronic diseases, enhancing immunity, and fostering cultural appreciation. The findings underscore the pivotal role of fusion cuisine in advancing global dietary diversity and promoting sustainable, health-conscious food practices. Future directions are proposed for research and global promotion to unlock the full potential of this culinary innovation.
