This study comes from scientists in Korea. The scientists examined the minerals and vitamins in various foods. They also tried different combinations and tried to come up with the most nutritious mix of foods needed for our body. They even included pork lard in the list of legumes or other vegetables.
The healthiest foods
However, it will certainly not surprise anyone that pork lard did not reach the top places. The “best” spots were taken by broccoli, cauliflower, carrot and similar items. Fish, other seafood or nuts were also not missing there.
Spinach
Spinach is also not far behind. This tasty vegetable is beneficial for the human body especially because of vitamins C and E. It also contains vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting.
It also affects proper bone regeneration and calcium absorption. Spinach also has many minerals. According to scientists, it is best to freeze this vegetable because that best preserves everything that is found in it.
Beetroot
Beetroot also placed in the rankings and is considered a representative of root vegetables. It retains most nutrients in its raw state. It is rich, like spinach, in vitamin C. It is a source of B1, B2, magnesium, zinc, iron and many others. It also helps with vascular problems. It also acts as a cleanser. It rids the body of bad bacteria. It even improves internal conditions.
Fish
As for fish, scientists found that salmon or tuna should be consumed regularly. For the more adventurous there are also octopus or roe, or mussels. All these delicacies are rich in omega-3 unsaturated acids, which aid important processes in the body. Carp, for example, excels in its high protein content.
Pork lard
Pork lard in a healthy amount also won’t hurt. It contains vitamin B, as well as minerals. This food is considered a healthy fat. Fats are also extremely important for the proper development of the body. They make up an unbelievable 30 percent of food intake.
Pork lard is even “poor” in cholesterol content. It has only 0.7 grams. It also helps in the prevention of diabetes or eye diseases. Likewise its components fight against eczema.
