Top 10 Foods That Are Surprisingly Good For You10. Chili PeppersChili peppers are usually reserved for pizzas, curries, and rock stars wearing nothing butstrategically-placed tube socks. Though most would consider them an addition to food atmost, solely reserved for making food slightly more manly these bad boys should be the maincourse. They have more Vitamin C than oranges; in fact, they contain more Vitamin C thanany other food, containing your entire recommended daily allowance per pepper!9. Horse MeatAlthough current events have made it sound a little macabre, horse meat isn’t anythingnew. Not to mention that the animal gives meat that’s leaner than virtually everyother meat available on the market, as well as being far cheaper. Then again, we’veall seen War Horse; could you really eat an animal that may have been related to a warhero? If so, good for you, you’ve made a sound health decision. Enjoy your horse energyand potential warrior-soul-infused steak. 8. WatermelonWatermelon is usually seen as a summer snack, nothing more than an alternative to givingtheir kids the candy they’d obviously prefer. But watermelon is chock full of iron. Howmuch, you ask? More than freaking spinach. Popeye, you’ve been lying to yourself allthese years. 7. AlmondsAlmonds, AKA what marzipan is supposed to taste like, are definitely something you shouldeat more of; they contain unsaturated fats, tons of vitamins, and more fiber than youshake a stick at. They contain so much fiber, in fact, you’ll be unable to do anythingexcept muse on how you can now set a watch to your stool. 6. BasilIf you’re not putting basil in everything you cook, up to and including cereal, cakes,and bacon, you should start. Because it’s not just a yummy green thing; it containsobscene amounts of Vitamins A and K, as well as tons of magnesium, which is so good foryour heart it’s legally considered the exact opposite of a shotgun blast. 5. HoneyHoney is perhaps nature’s perfect food, since it never goes bad, ever. Its powersdon’t stop there though, since it’s also nature’s antiseptic, meaning it can fixeverything from a burn to a sore throat. Health-wise, the list of things honey does is so long thatmen should feel inadequate on principle while reading it. 4. Yeast ExtractAlthough it looks more like something you’d find holding 15-year-old wallpaper up, yeastextract is so full of healthy stuff, it’s possible it turned brown to keep people fromlearning about its true power. It contains enough Vitamin B to beat a piece of liverto death four times over, and has almost the same amount of protein as chicken. Not tooshabby for brown paste you could easily mistake for something you stepped in. 3. Soy SauceSome people are wary of soy sauce because of MSG. Those people are idjits, and you shouldfeel no remorse for slapping them hard in the face. Soy sauce is loaded with vitaminsand minerals, and is a surprisingly effective antioxidant, so splashing it on everythingwill only make you feel better as a person, as long as you buy the low-salt version. 2. CaviarAlthough reserved for the rich, famous, and super-rich-and-famous (if mega caviar isn’tavailable,) caviar is full of healthy goodness such as Vitamin B12, as well as being a statusfood. Because being rich means you get to eat the unborn children of fish, pay morethan most people earn in a year for it, and still get health benefits, because screw youpoor people. 1. Chili PowderIt’s expected that fresh food is going to be good for you, which is why fresh chilieswere on this list. Apparently though, chilies are so damn healthy that, even when you processthe hell out of them and put them into an inferior powdered form, they’ve still gotmore vitamin E in them than spinach. And thank god, because we simply could not end thisarticle without digging the knife a little deeper into Popeye’s heart.
