If you could eat just one food to protect each organ in your body, what would it be? I went organ by organ and found the answer for your eight biggest organs. Let's start with your heart, which wants olive oil. In one study, people who ate the most had 35% lower heart disease risk. Your eyes want leafy greens. People who eat a lot of kale and spinach have 40% lower risk of the worst form of vision loss. Your pancreas, the organ that controls your blood sugar, wants oats. The thick fiber in oats slows how fast sugar hits your blood, which cuts diabetes risk by up to 30%. Your kidneys want blueberries. They fight damage and don't contain potassium or sodium, which can overwork your kidneys in the wrong form. Your gut wants fermented food like yogurt and sauerkraut. A Stanford study found they grew healthier gut bacteria and dropped 19 markers of inflammation. Your bones want prunes. Women eating five prunes a day during a study held their hip bone density for a year while the other group who didn't eat them lost it. Your brain wants eggs. Just one a week was tied to 47% lower Alzheimer's risk. And finally, the hardest working organ in your body, the liver wants coffee. Coffee drinkers have 39% lower risk of cirrhosis, the scarring that destroys your liver.
