If you are always worried about whether the food you eat is healthy enough, the World Health Organization's annual update of the healthy food list is undoubtedly the most authoritative reference. The latest annual list has, for the first time, categorized the foods into groups.
Meat List: Goose, Duck, Chicken
6 years ago, the WHO's healthy meat list included 6 types of meat such as chicken, beef, and kangaroo. This year, only goose, duck, and chicken made it onto the list.
Fruit List: Papaya, Orange, Strawberry, Kiwi, Mango, Apple, Apricot, Persimmon, Watermelon
Papaya has replaced apple for the first time to be ranked as the healthiest fruit, thanks to the discovery of papain. Papain can help the human body break down meat protein. Gastroenterology experts suggest eating a small amount of papaya after meals to help the digestive system digest hard-to-absorb meat, and it is also significantly effective in preventing stomach ulcers, gastroenteritis, and indigestion.
Vegetable List: Sweet Potato, Corn, Asparagus, Broccoli, Eggplant, Beet, Sheperd's Purse, Kohlrabi, Potato, Enoki Mushroom, Potherb Mustard, Chinese Cabbage
Sweet potato has been hovering on the edge of the ranking for the past two years, but it finally ranked first this year. Experts explained that this is because the chemical substance content in sweet potatoes has decreased, and the fiber content has increased significantly in recent years.
Snack List: Brain-Healthy Nuts, Pork Liver
The WHO's "Healthy Snack Ranking" is dominated by brain-healthy nuts, such as walnuts, peanuts, pistachios, cashews, pine nuts, almonds, soybeans, etc.
The most surprising thing is that pork liver is prominently listed last on the snack list. In addition to containing a large amount of protein, pork liver is also rich in minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamins A, B1, B2, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pork liver has a significant effect on improving eyesight.
Cooking Oil List: Olive Oil, Corn Oil, Rice Bran Oil
The cooking oil ranking is almost the same as last year. Olive oil, corn oil, and rice bran oil all contain a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, which can help remove cholesterol from the walls of human blood vessels and help prevent high blood lipids, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart disease.
