The power of food can be quite amazing. Many people don’t know that certain foods together can increase the absorption of nutrients consumed. We are talking about “Food Synergy,” also known as the relationship between nutrients and phytochemicals in certain foods.
Kidney Beans & Rice - Rice and beans are usually inexpensive and readily available, and, when eaten together, form a complete protein. Packed with protein, fiber, vitamin B12, magnesium, and potassium, red kidney beans are magical. Brown rice, on the other hand, is a whole grain and is high in magnesium and fiber.
Meat & Herbs – Those who love red meat and consume it frequently are prone to carcinogens and cancer-causing agents that form when its cooked at very high temperatures. But when combined with Rosemary, certain phenolic compounds and antioxidants can block the carcinogenic compounds in red meat before they can form.
Salad leaves and Almonds - Bright coloured vegetables are rich in plant pigments that can reduce your risk of heart disease, cataracts, and cancer. However, they need to be eaten with a small amount of absorption-boosting monounsaturated fat, such as that found in almonds.
Tomatoes & Broccoli - Tomatoes and Broccoli have loads of cancer fighting compounds; Tomatoes with antioxidants such as lycopene, vitamin C, and vitamin A; and broccoli, with the phytochemicals beta-carotene, indoles, etc. eating them together is like a one-two punch against prostate cancer.
Garlic & Fish – Both garlic and fish are packed with omega-3 fatty oils. Garlic is a huge immunity booster that contains antioxidants. When combined with fish, the cholesterol-reducing properties in both the fish oils and garlic reduce your risk in heart disease, reduce inflammation, and lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure.
