What food is the most nutritious?
Tomatoes, spinach, hard nuts, broccoli, oats, salmon, garlic, blue strawberries, green tea and red wine (in no particular order) are the most nutritious foods. Stepping into the 2 1 century, human life expectancy is getting longer and longer, not only because of the progress of medical science, but also because people attach importance to health preservation. "Eat well, live well and be happy" naturally contributes to Shu Tai's physical and mental health and longevity. Therefore, everyone's demand for food has long been more than simply meeting physiological needs and paying attention to nutrition. Of course, today's topic is about the most nutritious food. In 2002, the album of Time magazine in the United States introduced the top ten best nutritious foods, namely tomatoes, spinach, hard nuts, broccoli, oats, salmon, garlic, blue strawberries, green tea and red wine (in no particular order). A survey released by the World Health Organization last year pointed out that the Japanese are the oldest group in Asia. This honor is of course attributed to the Japanese habit of advocating low-fat diet, eating more salmon and drinking more green tea. The fat of salmon is omega-3 fatty acid, which belongs to beneficial category. Tea polyphenols in green tea are phytochemicals. Both of them are equally beneficial to the body and help prevent cancer and heart disease. Oats are rich in soluble fiber, which can effectively reduce blood cholesterol and reduce the chance of arteriosclerosis. Spinach and broccoli are dark green vegetables that can provide folic acid to help red blood cells grow normally. But also contains antioxidants, which have a protective effect and can reduce the chance of getting sick. In addition, tomatoes contain carotene (including beta carotene and lycopene), which also has anti-cancer effect and keeps you healthy.

When it comes to the advantages of hard-shell nuts, of course, unsaturated fatty acids, which are similar to omega-3 fatty acids, help to reduce total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In addition, drinking a small amount of red wine helps to reduce the risk of heart disease. Finally, garlic contains phytochemicals (allyl sulfide), which is very helpful to keep healthy. The above foods, each with its own characteristics, have been selected as the top ten most nutritious foods, and of course they deserve it. Generally speaking, there are thousands of kinds of food in the world, and each kind of food provides different nutrition and meets different needs, so it has its existence value. Especially in medicine, the knowledge of dietary nutrition is changing with each passing day, and we are constantly seeking new fields. Nutritional food is certainly worth recommending, and others can also be chosen. From a distance, there are more than ten kinds of nutritious foods.
