Now, you don't have to scour the globe, because we are about the reveal the answer to the
one of the biggest questions in the world...
WHAT IS THE HEALTHIEST FOOD ON THE PLANET?
Planet Earth sure is a big place, isn't it? It s full of amazing foods, and amazing people!
Unfortunately, nearly 6.5% of the world's population is currently living with type 2
diabetes, and scientists estimate that this dangerous condition is directly responsible
for 1 million deaths each year.
Studies show that nearly all diabetics have low levels of essential antioxidants in their
blood.
What's so important about antioxidants? Well...
These anti-inflammatory compounds can bind to free radicals and help remove them from
the human body, before they cause cancerous oxidative damage. And certain antioxidants
have also been shown to reduce post-meal glucose levels, along with a long list of other health
benefits.
Usually, a healthy natural diet and a clean environment can keep free radicals under control,
but, given the current modern eating lifestyle, coupled with an increasingly polluted atmosphere,
it s no wonder that diabetes, obesity, and other inflammatory conditions are on the rise.
So this is where SUPERFOODS enter the picture. Doctors and certified nutritionists have labeled
certain foods as super largely because of their high levels of antioxidants.
But you MUST be wondering... of all the supposed superfoods in our world, which one can we
crown THE HEALTHIEST FOOD ON PLANET EARTH?
Well, it's time to pit the most universally praised natural foods against each other,
to see which one wins.
Battle Number 1: Cocoa Versus Button Mushrooms
Would you believe that delicious cocoa beans are such a great source of nutrition, they
are actually being added to modern pharmaceuticals?
Both cacao and cocoa are made from the beans of the tropical cacao tree, and while there
are a few differences between the two, both are great sources of antioxidant POLYPHENOLS.
While plants use polyphenols to protect against ultraviolet radiation, invading bacteria and
viruses, we can utilize them to protect our heart health and brain health. Plus, they
also aid with cancer prevention and blood sugar stabilization!
Cocoa contains a variety of specific polyphenols, including...
...proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, and melanoidins.
Excess fat oxidation can lead to atherosclerosis, high blood pressure and heart disease. But
the combination of the polyphenols within cocoa makes it a delicious and nutritious
option if you have high triglyceride levels, because they can halt the oxidation of certain
fats.
These polyphenols can also bind to and help remove cancerous free radicals while also
blocking the enzymes that cause free radicals to form. And melanoidins, specifically, will
supply beneficial fiber, to help you avoid a blood sugar spike.
Let's take a look at the contender - button mushrooms. Here is yet are another superfood
that provides a hunger-satisfying antioxidant boost.
Mushrooms are great source of many nutrients, including vitamins C and D, calcium, iron,
phosphorus, and potassium. In fact, one serving of mushrooms provides around 10% of your daily
potassium requirement. That makes them extremely beneficial for those suffering from diabetes,
as diabetics tend to experience chronic low levels of potassium. Plus, potassium aids
heart health and can lower the risk of strokes.
But there s another ingredient in the mushroom that makes it a very strong contender for
this battle: ERGOTHIONEINE.
It's an amino acid that not only works as a very strong antioxidant, it has also been
shown to reduce inflammation.
In fact, no other natural food on the planet contains more ergothioneine than mushrooms!
Meanwhile, mushrooms are also a good source of selenium, which aids the immune system
and has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression. It s also got CHOLINE, a nutrient which can
aid brain health and muscle movement.
And, of course, mushrooms are low in carbs but rich in fiber. They're also an excellent
plant-based source of protein. That makes them a great food for balancing post-meal
glucose levels.
So who wins the battle?
While both foods are extremely good for your health, cocoa is still a processed product.
In fact, most packaged version of cocoa contain added sugars. And processed sugar can increase
free radical damage.
Even if you consume sugar-free cocoa, the original bean has still been processed.
However, this isn't always a bad thing. Roasted cocoa powder has been shown to inhibit ALPHA
GLUCOSIDASE, an enzyme which breaks down carbohydrates at a rapid rate.
So inhibiting this enzyme can potentially reduce the risk of a post-meal blood sugar
spike.
Also, in some cases, cocoa processing seems to make its antioxidants more bioavailable
to the human body.
However, when pitting their nutritional benefits against each other, this round goes to...
MUSHROOMS.
Now, they get to move on and square off against an even tougher opponent. Get ready for...
Battle Number 2: Button Mushrooms Versus Pomegranate
We already know how their dietary fiber, ergothioneine, iron, protein and potassium make button mushrooms
a health juggernaut.
But how will they stack up against POMEGRANATE?
The sweet and crunchy seeds of this fruit provide a ton of heart-healthy, diabetes-fighting
nutrients, including dietary fiber, folate, protein, and vitamins C, K, B1 and B9.
But pomegranate seeds and pomegranate juice contains another secret ingredient: ELLAGITANNINS.
These bioactive polyphenols supply antioxidant properties which have been shown to fight
certain forms of cancer.
Gut bacteria utilizes ellagitannins to make UROLITHIN, an anti-inflammatory metabolite
which exhibits anti-obesity properties.
In fact, a recent animal study found that urolithin supplements helped prevent diet-induced
obesity and metabolic dysfunctions in laboratory mice. And other studies show that it has the
potential to modulate energy metabolism of certain cells.
Pomegranate juice also supplies PUNICALAGINS, a group of antioxidant phytonutrients with
anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetes properties. It s also been
reported that they can reduce L.D.L. cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease.
Plus, a recent study revealed that participants with hypertension who drank 5 ounces of pomegranate
juice daily for just two weeks had significant reductions in their blood pressure.
So who's the winner between the mushroom and the pomegranate?
Both contain essential macro and micronutrients, like fiber, protein, and a range of beneficial
vitamins and minerals. And both button mushrooms and pomegranate contains many heart-healthy,
diabetes-fighting antioxidants.
But there can be only one winner, and this round goes to POMEGRANATES.
This naturally sweet and tasty fruit which may speed up the metabolism, lower blood pressure,
and reduce the risk of heart disease and post-meal glucose spikes moves on to the next round!

Now, on to the next showdown... Battle Number 3: Pomegranate Versus Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut has a lot to prove to beat the power of pomegranate.
So what does this mysterious fermented white cabbage do to make it a contender for the
planet s top healthy superfood?
Sauerkraut isn't so much food for you... It's food for your gut microbiome.
Good gut bacteria can improve your overall health by making your body more efficient
at burning calories. But eating highly processed, low-nutrition foods create less bacterial
diversity and can introduce bad bacteria into your gut microbiome, which can slow your metabolism,
increase inflammation, and lead to a cascade of poor health.
Did you know that research shows diabetics tend to have low levels of bacterial diversity
in their gut?
But, to ensure a balanced, diverse community of bacteria in the gut requires a two step
approach:
First, add more good bacteria.
Second, feed the good bacteria.
Sauerkraut just happens to do both, and in ways very few other foods can compete with.
It contains two beneficial types of probiotics, LACTOBACILLI and BIFIDOBACTERIA.
Studies show that these probiotics supply a wide range of health benefits, including...
Stimulating body cells to regenerate and divide... Stopping harmful bacteria from sticking to
the gut lining... Increasing the bioavailability of iron and
other vitamins and minerals... Boosting the immune system...
Improving digestion... Preventing weight gain...
Aiding heart health... And reducing blood sugar levels!
Plus, recent studies have shown that probiotic-rich foods can help improve memory, reduce anxiety,
and maintain brain health in general.
Other studies have revealed that regular consumption of sauerkraut and cabbage can lower the risk
of several forms of cancer.
And, of course, sauerkraut also supplies a great range of anti-diabetes nutrients, including
fiber, protein, folate, copper, manganese, potassium, plus vitamins C and K.
With all of these superpowered nutrients and health benefits, it's not hard to see who
wins this battle.
Let's hear it for a forkful of SAUERKRAUT!
Well, this fermented food has made it to THE FINAL ROUND. Get ready, it's time for...
Battle Number 4: Sauerkraut Versus Spinach
It all comes down to the top gut flora food and a food many consider to be the most nutritionally
beneficial plant-based food in the world.
But who will win? Let s find out!
Gram for gram, you'll find more nutrients within low-calorie, low-carbohydrate spinach
than in parsley, collard greens, kale, citrus fruits, root vegetables, tomatoes and pumpkin.
Not only does its high fiber content work to slow digestion while providing food for
your gut microbiome, it's also an incredible source of antioxidants and other diabetes-fighting
nutrients, including...
...calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, chlorophyll, plus the
powerful antioxidants alpha-linolenic acid and beta-carotene!
Spinach is also highly regarded for its vitamin content, which includes vitamins A, B, C,
E and K. In fact, a three-cup serving of spinach provides 45% of the recommended daily intake
for folate, a powerful anti-diabetes B vitamin, along with 40% of the R.D.I. for glucose-lowering
vitamin C, and a whopping 160% of the R.D.I. for vitamin A, which aids eye health.
This wide range of nutrients can also have positive effects on everything from your bones
and muscles to your brain and skin.
In fact, multiple studies have revealed that regular spinach consumption can help to...
...manage blood pressure, slow cognitive decline, reduce the risk of several forms of cancer,
and it can aid with blood sugar regulation.
And, as a bonus, spinach makes for an easy-to-grow, versatile veggie. Feel free to add it raw
to sandwiches, quickly throw it into an omelette, make it the base of your next salad, or you
can steam or sautee it for a flavorful dinner side-dish.
Therefore, it's easy to see why many doctors and dietitians consider spinach to be possibly
the most healthful food in the world. And we agree! So, meet THE HEALTHIEST FOOD ON
THE PLANET...Today s winner... SPINACH!
