William Paterson University in New Jersey (USA) conducted a survey that listed 41 of the healthiest health foods in the world. Among the ten heroes, vegetables and legumes such as arugula, chard, and spinach stand out. Although it doesn't appear at the top of the list, the fruits clearly shined as well.

The study not only listed foods, but also reinforced the importance of maintaining a healthy and varied meal, including a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Vitamin C has been highlighted not for nothing, as it performs an essential function in the body, neutralizing free radicals, aiding in collagen production and the immune system.
