The consensus within this community is very strong in favor of a diet rich in raw and varied foods, which is widely supported by nutrition research. Fatty fish (salmon, sardines) are recognized by meta-analyses for their omega-3 content, which is beneficial for the cardiovascular system. Fermented foods (kimchi, kefir) are validated by observational studies and clinical trials for their role in supporting the gut microbiota, a pillar of well-being. Interest in cruciferous vegetables and broccoli sprouts (rich in sulforaphane) is based on promising mechanistic evidence regarding inflammation management, although large-scale human effects are still being studied. Berries and nuts are also highly regarded for their density of antioxidants and healthy fats. Conversely, the feeling of being "unbeatable" is subjective and depends on a multitude of factors, including overall lifestyle. There is no evidence that any single food possesses miraculous properties, but the synergy of these dietary choices constitutes a robust foundation for health.

Cite the 2018 NEJM republication (the 2013 paper was retracted and re-analysed; results held). It's a PATTERN effect — no single food carries it.
