7 BEST FOOD YOU SHOULD EAT

Grass-fed beef is a healthy source of protein and fat, with B vitamins, minerals, and conjugated linoleic acid, a potential cancer-fighter. Organ meat, including liver, is a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other compounds important for your health – and in which many are deficient.

Topping the list in terms of nutrient density are watercress, chard, beet greens, and spinach—but adding other gorgeous leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, collards, dandelion leaves, mustard greens, and escarole will just add to your overall nutrient infusion. Greens like spinach and kale are loaded with cancer-fighting antioxidants including beta-carotene, vitamin C, and sulforaphane.Eggs are an incredible source of high-quality protein and fat—nutrients that many are deficient in. They also contain vitamins, minerals, and two amino acids with potent antioxidant properties -- tryptophan and tyrosine. Egg yolks are also a rich source of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which may help prevent age-related macular degeneration, the most common cause of blindness.

Fermented foods, including fermented vegetables, are chockfull of healthy bacteria (probiotics). Far from simply helping your body to better digest and assimilate your food (which they do very well), probiotics influence the activity of hundreds of your genes, helping them to express in a positive, disease-fighting manner.

Grass-fed raw butter is rich in a substance called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is not only known to help fight cancer and diabetes, it may even help you to lose weight. Butter is also a rich source of easily absorbed vitamin A and other fat-soluble vitamins (D, E, and K2), along with trace minerals, including manganese, chromium, zinc, copper, and selenium (a powerful antioxidant).

Research suggests that eating oily fish like Alaskan salmon once or twice a week may increase your lifespan by more than two years, and reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 35 percent. This is because such fish is an excellent source of animal-based omega-3 fats. Choose Alaskan salmon because it cannot be farmed.

About 100 species are being studied for their health-promoting benefits and ability to deliver a tremendous boost to your immune system. In fact, some of the most potent immunosupportive agents come from mushrooms. They are also rich in protein, fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium, minerals, and antioxidants.
