We’ve always known that a balanced diet is the key to staying fit. The body needs many nutrients and vitamins contained in food. To this should be added sports activity, which maintains the health of the body, muscles, heart, joints and entire metabolism.
The Healthiest Food to Add to Your Plate
When you go shopping, it’s not always easy to know what’s healthy and what’s not.
William Paterson University in New Jersey analyzed the nutritional content of dozens of foods, including their content of 17 essential nutrients (fiber, vitamin C, calcium, iron, protein, etc.).
According to the results, only one food can provide 100% of the daily nutrients needed: watercress. In just 100 grams of watercress we get our daily dose of nutrients. Therefore, according to researchers, this makes it “the healthiest food in the world.”
Thus, watercress will provide us with our daily requirement of potassium, fiber, protein, calcium, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, zinc and vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E and K. And that’s just So!
Now is the time to add it to all your salads, because it is also a very low-calorie food: 21 calories per 100-gram serving.
