It was in New Jersey, and more specifically at William Paterson University, that researchers studied a list of 41 foods. The goal ? Determine which fruits and vegetables are the healthiest. And the results published in the scientific journal Preventing Chronic Disease may surprise you!
A study of the healthiest foods
41 foods were closely monitored. In particular, the researchers evaluated the fiber, nutrient and vitamin content, but also the quantity of sugars or calories in order to obtain a ranking of the healthiest foods. Unsurprisingly, green vegetables top this ranking. You can find watercress, Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, etc. But what is the first fruit on this list? In 28th place, we find THE healthiest fruit, namely the lemon.
The healthiest fruit, also a slimming ally?
If a large quality of vegetables came first in the ranking before fruit, what we can learn from the study is that lemon is considered the healthiest fruit in the world. But why ? Indeed, it is one of the fruits richest in antioxidants. Its vitamin C content makes it possible to better manage stress. But lemon is also a very good slimming ally and helps detoxify the body.
