A doctor has revealed the surprising 'number one superfood in the world ' with 'amazing health benefits'. Dr Eric Berg DC, who specialises in keto and intermittent fasting, explained his reasoning in a video shared on his popular YouTube channel. Addressing his 12 million subscribers, the doctor said: "Some people think green powder is the best superfood.
But, while it's very beneficial, it’s missing one important ingredient - protein. "Green powder has vitamin C, K1, beta-carotene, magnesium, potassium, and phytonutrients, but no protein. To optimise your health, you might want to start consuming grass-fed red meat along with your green powder.
