The fish has been ranked in the top three most nutritious foods in the world, with an abundance of health benefits – and it’s not just good for you, it’s also delicious
Fish fans will be glad to know one fish in particular brings incredible health benefits. Perched at the top of the nutrition scale, one particularly fishy contender has been crowned the ultimate superfood by BBC’s list of the planet’s most nutritious bites it’s none other than the ocean perch.
Forget about your regular fillet ocean perch is swimming circles around its competitors, snagging a whopping 89 out of 100 on the nutritional scoreboard. It’s not just any fish tale: packing a protein punch with around 20 grams per 100g serving and only 79 calories, according to Facts.net, this deep-water delight doesn’t drown you in saturated fats either.
But wait there’s more! The rockfish, another name it swims by, isn’t just skimming the surface of health riches, reports Surrey Live. Meanwhile, salmon is still striding strongly upstream with its omega-3 fatty acid so crucial our bodies can’t even produce it solo. Hungry for more health hacks?
Meanwhile, an underdog veg was dubbed the “healthiest vegetable on Earth”, after studies dished out the dirt on its remarkably dense concentration of nutrients. Taking a leaf from the Centre for Disease Control’s book, which scores foods based on their vitamin and mineral content, it’s clear that diet diversity might be the catch of the day.
Outshining other health-packed veggies such as spinach, chard, and beet greens that score in the 80s, watercress emerges as the top leaf with a flawless score of 100. Jennifer Di Noia, an associate professor of sociology at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey, elucidated: “Higher-ranking foods provide more nutrients per calories.” And for those keen on expanding their nutritious nibbles repertoire, the title for the “world’s healthiest snack” awaits discovery here.
For those with a sweet tooth, honey also bring amazing health benefits. It’s a powerful superfood you should consider adding into your diet. Researchers have found that it can actually support several potential health benefits in humans.
It is essentially a natural liquid sugar made from glucose, fructose and some minerals. Since honey is almost entirely sugar, it doesn’t seem like a great choice to eat regularly at first glance.
But this fat-free creation does have a large amount of health-promoting plant compounds in every scoop. It’s rich in antioxidants – which are proven to help reduce the risk of certain health problems like cancers, infections, and other chronic diseases.
