How do you determine which foods make up a healthy diet, and which should be avoided? The unhealthiest foods spike insulin levels, leading to insulin resistance, which is commonly at the root of chronic illness. Simply put, foods that lower insulin are good, and foods that raise insulin are bad.

Here are 7 of the healthiest foods that you should eat every single day:

1. Sauerkraut

Raw sauerkraut is a rich source of beneficial microbes and one of the most potent probiotics. It is high in fiber, low in carbs, and has the highest amount of vitamin C of any food. Sauerkraut is rich in glutamine, vitamin K2, vitamin U, and phytonutrients like sulforaphane.

2. Arugula

This vegetable is low in oxalates, high in nitric oxide, and supports the endothelial layer of the arteries.

3. Wild-caught salmon

Wild-caught fatty fish are the best source of omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is rich in selenium, which helps bind to mercury and remove it from the body, so you don’t have to worry about mercury when you consume it.

4. Cod liver

Cod liver has the most omega-3 fatty acids of any food and is a potent source of healthy fat.

5. Hamburger

Grass-fed ground beef is one of the best superfoods there is! It’s loaded with B vitamins, zinc, iron, carnosine, creatine, and other essential nutrients. Opt for organic ground beef with a higher fat content for maximum benefits.

6. Brazil nuts

Brazil nuts contain the highest amount of selenium of any food, which is essential for healthy thyroid and immune function. Selenium protects the reproductive system and also helps prevent hair loss.

7. Extra-virgin olive oil

This healthy fat helps extract phytonutrients from your salad. It is beneficial for heart and cellular health and has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-clotting properties.

8. Cheese

Choose full-fat, raw, aged cheese. It’s loaded with vitamin K2, CLA, and has benefits from fermentation.

9. Dark chocolate/cacao

Dark chocolate is rich in polyphenols and magnesium, and also increases nitric oxide levels.

10. L. reuteri yogurt

Most of the population doesn't get enough L. reuteri. These microbes increase muscle mass, improve sleep, boost oxytocin levels, and help alleviate symptoms of SIBO.
