3 Foods You Thought Were Unhealthy but Are Actually Healthy

Introduction

Here are three foods that, despite what you may believe, are healthy. Butter contains butyric acid for good digestion, vitamin A for healthy eyes, and is an important fat to balance blood sugar. Eggs do not raise cholesterol levels like once presumed; consider getting a good quality egg from a local farmer when possible. Finally, shrimp is incredibly healthy; it provides DHA for our brain and eye health as well as chitin when consumed with its shell - which helps build gut health.

 

#1 Butter

The first is butter. Not only is butter a great source of vitamin A, but it also contains butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that is crucial for maintaining a healthy microbiome and for maintaining good vision and eye health. Additionally, because butter is a fat it can help to regulate your blood sugar levels – especially if it comes from grass-fed cows.

#2 Eggs

The second is eggs. Your doctor may have advised you to watch how many eggs you eat because they can raise your cholesterol, however, this simply isn’t true. While eggs do contain some cholesterol, the majority of the cholesterol in our bodies is produced by our liver and not by eating food. As such, you can eat as many eggs as you like as long as they are pasture-raised organic eggs.

#3 Shrimp 

The third is shrimp. Considering shrimp are bottom feeders, you might have heard that they are among the most toxic kinds of seafood to consume. However, I disagree because shrimp have healthy levels of DHA, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. DHA concentrates on our brains and is therefore crucial for the health of our brains, nervous systems, eyes, and eyesight. DHA is also crucial for activating our internal battery because it provides us with a supply of electrons to help balance out protons in our bodies.
