https://authoritynutrition.com/ • In order to maximize the amount of nutrients we take in, we need to eat foods that carry the greatest amount and variety of nutrients. • Here are 4 of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. • 1. Potatoes • Potatoes are nutrient-jammed and really one of the world’s most perfect foods. • A single large potato contains lots of Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Copper and Manganese… with plenty of vitamin C and most of the B vitamins. • They contain a little bit of almost every nutrient we need and there have been accounts of people living on nothing but potatoes for a long time. • They are also one of the most fulfilling foods in existence. When researchers compared the “satiety value” of different foods, boiled potatoes scored higher than any other food they measured. • If you cook the potatoes and then allow them to cool afterwards, they also form large amounts of resistant starch, which is a fiber-like substance with many additional health benefits. • 2. Blueberries • Although not as high in vitamins and minerals as vegetables (calorie for calorie), the antioxidant content is where these tiny fruits really shine. • Blueberries are loaded with powerful antioxidants that protect our bodies from damage by unstable molecules called 'free radicals'. • In fact, they contain the highest antioxidant capacity of ALL commonly consumed fruits and vegetables. • The fact that they are colorful and taste good, and that the frozen ones are still very healthy, is just a bonus. • 3. Salmon and Tuna • Not all fish is created equal. Salmon, tuna and other fatty types of fish contain the greatest amount of Omega-3 fats, which are extremely important for the optimal function of your body. • Other than omega-3s, fatty fish also pack a massive amount of other nutrients. For example, salmon is rich in high quality protein and contains a lot of vitamins and minerals… including large amounts of Magnesium, Potassium, Selenium and all the B-vitamins. • It's a good idea to eat fatty fish at least once or twice a week, to get all the Omega-3s that your body (and brain) desperately need. • In fact, studies suggest those who eat fatty fish regularly have a lower risk of heart disease, and maybe even dementia and depression. • 4. Shellfish • Clams, oysters and various other types of shellfish are among the most nutritious foods available, yet people rarely eat them. • Clams are among the best sources of vitamin B12 in existence, with a 100 grams of clams supplying over 16 times the RDA or recommended dietary allowance. • Oysters are also incredibly nutritious; 100 grams of oysters supplies 6 times the RDA for Zinc, 2 times the RDA for Copper, along with large amounts of B12 and Vitamin D. • Shellfish can also be considered a great food for people who want to be as close to vegetarian as possible, while also getting most of the benefits of consuming animal foods. Because shellfish are considered non-sentient, which means they don't have the capacity to feel or perceive any sensations. • Further reading: https://authoritynutrition.com/11-mos... • Follow Authority Nutrition: • Facebook: / authoritynutrition • Twitter: / authnutrition • Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/+Authoritynut... • Pinterest: / authynutrition • ---- Don't forget to subscribe on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Authorit... • Studies mentioned in video: • Study 1: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/74... • Study 2: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16...
