How Food Secrets rates foods
Our Food Rankings rate foods by their anti-inflammatory capacity, blood-pressure-lowering potential and antimicrobial properties – complemented by >150 nutrients, phytonutrients and seasonal information.
- Inflammation: polyphenols, omega-3, sulforaphane, organosulfur compounds.
- Blood pressure: potassium, nitrate sources (beetroot/leafy greens), overall dietary pattern.
- Antimicrobial: ingredients with documented antiviral/antibacterial/antifungal action.
Tip: in the app you can filter for foods against inflammation, have blood-pressure-lowering foods prioritised and search specifically for antimicrobial foods.
Goal: clear, everyday decisions instead of an information overload.
Lower blood pressure
Potassium-rich plant foods, beetroot & leafy greens (nitrates), pulses – this is how you find blood-pressure-lowering foods for everyday life.
Reduce inflammation
Berries/olives (oil), cruciferous vegetables (sulforaphane), spices (turmeric, ginger), green tea – key anti-inflammatory foods for noticeable effects.
Antimicrobial
Naturally antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal: garlic, onion, thyme, ginger, turmeric and more – powerful antimicrobial foods from your kitchen.
Phytonutrients – the stars behind the effect
- Flavonoids/polyphenols (berries, grapes, cocoa, green tea, olives/olive oil).
- Glucosinolates → sulforaphane (broccoli, cabbage, rocket, mustard).
- Organosulfur compounds (garlic, onions).
- Spices (turmeric/curcumin, ginger, pepper, cinnamon, thyme).
