Revealed: The Top 10 Healthiest Foods On The Planet by willywasco(m): 11:22pm On Dec 22, 2015
They are the foods we don't give much thought to.
Relatively inexpensive and easy-to-source, these fruit, nuts, fish and vegetables are often overlooked in favour of more exotic 'superfoods'.
But these ordinary kitchen stalwarts often contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and nutrients.



Lemons
Just one lemons has more than 100 per cent of your daily intake of vitamin C, which may help increase good HDL cholesterol levels and strengthen bones. Citrus flavonoids found in lemons may help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and act as an anti-inflammatory.


Broccoli
One medium stalk of broccoli contains more than 100 per cent of your daily vitamin K requirement and almost 200 per cent of your recommended daily dose of vitamin C - two essential bone building nutrients. The same serving also helps stave off numerous cancers.

Dark chocolate
Just one fourth of an ounce daily can reduce blood pressure in otherwise healthy individuals. Cocoa powder is rich in flavonoids and in anti-oxidants shown to reduce bad LDL cholesterol and increase good HDL levels.

Potatoes
One red potato contains 66 micrograms of cell-building folate – about the same amount found in one cup of spinach or broccoli. One sweet potato has almost eight times the amount of cancer-fighting and immune-boosting vitamin A you need daily.

Salmon
A great source of Omega-3 fatty acids which have been linked to a reduced risk of depression, heart disease, and cancer. A three-ounce serving contains almost 50 per cent of your daily dose of niacin which may protect against Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss.
