As we ring in the new year, many of us are setting goals to eat healthier. However, with a plethora of "superfoods" vying for the title of the ultimate nutritious choice, making the right dietary decision is easier said than done. To simplify the process, a team of nutritionists have crafted what could be the healthiest meal ever, sifting through over 4,000 health claims to validate a core list of 222. This rigorous selection has led them to pinpoint the most nutrient-dense ingredients and assemble the perfect three-course dinner.
Dr. Paul Berryman, CEO of Leatherhead Food Research, initially envisioned the concept as an airline meal but expanded his research ambitiously. The final menu, a product of scientific inquiry, boasts a balanced combination of vitamins, proteins, and trace minerals essential for a healthy body.
So, what does the food in the "world's healthiest" three-course meal look like?. The meal commences with a starter of salmon terrine accompanied by a mixed leaf salad dressed in extra-virgin olive oil. Salmon is celebrated for its Omega-3 fatty acids, which enhance heart and artery function while also mitigating joint discomfort and skin issues, reports Surrey Live.
Extra-virgin olive oil is lauded for its extensive health advantages. A study from 2018 highlighted that its polyphenols might play a role in diminishing the risks associated with heart disease, strokes, and breast cancer. Gut health expert Professor Tim Spector is a proponent of olive oil, stating: "I hardly use butter at all, I reach for the olive oil every time.".
