For hundreds of years, nutritionists have not been able to agree on which foods are the most healthy and which ones are best not to eat. Many of them consider this: the most healthy foods are fruits, vegetables, fish and dairy products. And also nuts, especially walnuts.
Of the fruits, apples are considered the most healthy . The trace elements and vitamins contained in them contribute to increasing immunity, as well as maintaining the cardiovascular system in excellent shape. Apples also inhibit the development of cancer cells. In Germany, they say that if you eat at least one apple every day, then "the doctors will be left without work."
It’s very useful for people associated with sports or physical labor to eat bananas, as these people need magnesium to build muscle, which is so much found in this exotic fruit. In addition to magnesium, bananas contain potassium, vitamin B6 and carbohydrates. This is the most satisfying fruit! But no matter how useful bananas are - these are fruits that do not grow in our country, which means that they are stored longer, they are processed with various chemicals. More useful, of course, are the fruits that grow with us.
Strawberries and blueberries are also the most healthy foods, but they are also very tasty. Sweet strawberries contain more vitamin C than lemons. This berry is rich in iron and zinc, which incidentally affects female sexuality. And essential oils not only add flavor, but also inhibit the formation of enzymes, reducing the risk of such a dangerous disease as cancer. Blueberries contain many antioxidants that inhibit the aging process and inhibit various inflammatory processes that occur in the body. Blueberries are very useful for people with heart problems.
People who care about the health of their heart well, which foods are good for the heart. This is primarily a fish. It is noted that the Eskimos, Japanese and other peoples who traditionally eat a lot of fish suffer less from cardiovascular diseases than other peoples. Milk also refers to the main products, which means dairy products are also the most useful food products. They contain proteins, lactose, a lot of calcium and easily digestible fats.
Many vegetables can be called useful, but especially useful properties are garlic, carrots, beets, spinach, white cabbage and broccoli. Garlic is an excellent prophylactic for colds and excellent prophylaxis of vascular diseases and stomach cancer. Prevents the development of cancer cells and carrots. It also contains a lot of beta-carotene, and is therefore beneficial for vision and skin. But in order for beta-carotene to be better absorbed, carrot salads need to be done with sour cream, or with vegetable oil. Beetroot also contains a lot of beta-carotene and fiber. Folic acid and phytonutrienes protect the human body from many diseases.
Many nutrients contain chili pepper and horseradish.
All cruciferous plants, to which cabbage belongs, contain in large quantities sulforaphane and other useful substances. Recent studies have shown that smokers just need to add cabbage to their daily diet, as it prevents the development of lung cancer, a disease that many smokers are susceptible to.
Figs, walnuts that lower cholesterol, flaxseed, dark chocolate, which is called the "vitamin of happiness" - all these are the most healthy foods. And of course you can not say about tea. Absolutely all types of tea are rich in antioxidants - both black and white. But the largest amount of antioxidants is found in green tea. Green tea is good for the heart muscle, strengthens bones, increasing their density. Green tea is very useful for women after forty years.
In the German magazine Focus, a list was printed containing the 10 most healthy foods. This includes foods such as garlic, apples, strawberries, fish, carrots, chili peppers, soybeans, bananas, green tea and dairy products. And in another printed source, another list is given, which includes chicken, brown rice, garlic, chicken eggs, herbs, blueberries, salmon, spinach, milk and bananas.
As you can see, to this day there is no consensus, which 10 products are the most useful for us.
