You probably already know what kinds of foods you should and shouldn’t eat. And you also aren’t just learning about the benefits of eating a balanced diet.

But do you know what the healthiest foods on earth are? Are you interested in learning more about these foods? Well, here they are. This post shares all the information you need about the healthiest foods on earth.

These are the very delicacies that should be your go-to staples every time. These foods are proven to provide you with high amounts of essential nutrients and boost overall health and wellbeing. Without further ado, let us get to it.

What are the healthiest foods on earth?

Kale

Kale holds a prominent position as one of the healthiest foods on earth. This green has an ample amount of nutritious and medicinal compounds that are beneficial to you.

Heads up! If you hate bitter-tasting foods, you may be disappointed because Kale has a bitter taste. But do not let that scare you away. You can always add some to your soup or stew to mask the bitter taste. You probably won’t notice it when you do.

A cup of Kale (smoothie) contains a variety of essential vitamins. This leafy green also matches (and sometimes) surpasses the calcium content in milk. And no matter how you make it, Kale always retains its nutritional value.

Health benefits of Kale
What makes Kale one of the healthiest foods on earth? Learn more about this awesome leafy green below.

Contains high amounts of antioxidants
Kale is a good source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, flavonoids, polyphenols, kaempferol. These antioxidants are responsible for preventing damage by free radicals in the body. So, the more of these you have, the safer you are.

The powerful antioxidants in kale also help to lower blood pressure, boost heart health and have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. So, before you shy away from kale because of its bitter taste, remember the immense benefits it provides for you.

Contains high amounts of vitamin C
There are many inherent benefits of Vitamin C. These include

Helps reduce your risk of chronic disease
Prevents iron deficiency
Effectively boosts immunity
Manages high blood pressure
Helps you synthesize collagen

Of all veggies, kale has a higher concentration of vitamin C. In fact, you can get more vitamin C in one serving of kale than from fruit like orange.

Kale fights cancer
Yes, that dreaded disease that causes continuous and uncontrolled growth of cells. Cancer is that deadly but kale plays a key role in combating the disease.

Kale contains sulforaphane and indole-3-cabinol, which are proven to counteract the formation of cancer at the formation stage.

Howbeit, human testing has not produced an overwhelming definitive answer, but it has worked on animals and test-tube studies.

Contains essential nutrients for the eyes
Is your eyesight getting worse as a result of ageing? Or is your eyesight not as sharp as it used to be? Kale could make it all better.

This super healthy food has a good supply of nutrients that are notable for improving eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin are useful here.

Some other benefits of kale are its high amounts of vitamin K, beta-carotene, and properties that make it an ideal food for weight loss.
