No doubt nutrition is a big deal, but it's not the end-all-be-all. Take in all the protein required by the body, but the fact is you start losing muscle mass after the age of ~30, without strength training, regardless of one's diet.
The same thing happens with the arteries. You want flexible and wider blood vessels you need to do cardio. The most healthy diet alone won't work.
However, WRT nutrients, I do eat a lot of stuff I grow out of my yard and I'm thinking of getting chickens to supplement my diet even more.
One of my favorite plants is the Moringa Tree.
Moringa is packed with nutrients, acting as a rich source of protein, vitamins (A, C, B6, E), and minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium), often surpassing common foods like carrots, oranges, and spinach in concentration per serving, especially in its dried powder form. It's known for its high antioxidant content, fiber, and essential amino acids, making it a valuable dietary supplement, though it's important to balance it with a varied diet.
Comparison to Other Foods (Per Serving)
- Vitamin C: More than oranges.
- Vitamin A: More than carrots.
- Potassium: More than bananas.
