21. Calf’s Liver

It’s a disgusting super food full of almost everything the human body needs, including vitamin A, B6, B12, folates, niacin, riboflavin, betaine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron , calcium, and protein.

 

22. Sweat

You know why babies smell so sweet? Because their sweat glands are not yet active. In fact, our sweat glands don’t become fully developed until we are about 12. Sweat is necessary to cool the body, and although sweat itself has no smell, the bacteria on our bodies does smell. The smell is also affected by the foods we eat, such as onions and curry powders.

 

23. Beef Brains

Disgusting even to look at, beef brains are loaded with iron, vitamin C, niacin, and B12. If you close your eyes, you might be able to stomach this healthy food.

 

24. Farts and Burps

Don’t be ashamed! It’s good for you! The body makes gas as a natural part of the digestive system. You can’t keep gas inside the body, so it escapes through the nearest exit. It sounds terrible and smells even worse, but without expelling gas, you would literally explode.

 

25. Caterpillars And Grasshoppers

Considered a delicacy in many parts of the world, most insects, including grasshoppers and caterpillars, are great sources of protein. Just be careful if you decide to try caterpillars, as some of them are poisonous. If you aren’t sure about your caterpillar species, stick with grasshoppers.
