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. Here are 3 bonus superfoods for everyday healthy eating! 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.

For anyone saving this, here’s the full list — and the logic behind it: 1. Sauerkraut (gut + vitamin C) 2. Arugula (nitric oxide, circulation) 3. Wild-caught salmon (omega-3) 4. Cod liver (omega-3 powerhouse) 5. Grass-fed hamburger (iron + protein with fat) 6. Brazil nuts (selenium — 1–2 only) 7. Extra virgin olive oil (anti-inflammatory) 8. Cheese (K2 + gut support) 9. Dark chocolate (polyphenols + magnesium) 10. L. reuteri yogurt (gut + hormones) Simple foods, big impact.

When I was in my 60s, I felt like I was 100 years old on the verge of death. I am now in my 70s and thanks to following Dr. Berg's advice, I feel great! I recently took a blood test that measured over 100 different markers, and though I am 73 years old, my biological age is 57. My lifelong struggle with ADHD is gone. Brain fog gone. Chronic ear, nose, throat, lung problems gone. I'm healthier than most 20 year olds. Thank you Dr. Berg for saving my life!

I am a 71-year-old female who feels like 35, and this has been my staple food since July 2025 (excluding the hamburger). I am following a keto diet and practising alternate-day fasting (ADF), which involves fasting for 36 or more hours. I've lost 15kg experiencing no hunger. Take no medications or jabs. Thank you, Dr Berg, for all your work.💕Happy Healthy New Year Everyone!
