Food Combinations For More Health Benefits
Do you know that health benefits of certain foods can be increased by combing them with some other specific foods? The nutrients present in foods can be best absorbed by your body in the presence of some other foods.
For instance, vitamin C present in foods helps in the absorption of iron present in other foods. Similarly, fat-soluble vitamins help in the best absorption of essential fatty acids. It is good to know different food combinations that we can consume to avail their best health benefits.
The nutrients present in some foods can also compliment to the nutrients present in other foods. These foods can boost the healing power of other foods. In this article, we have mentioned some of the best food combinations that can increase the nutrient value of foods.
So, never eat a food substance alone, combine it with some other nutrient-boosting food to promote better health. Just like how we get a rainbow with the combination of rain and sun. In the same way, combining certain foods can make it a best combo for boosting our health.
Scroll down to know the best foods to eat in combination.
Black Pepper With Green Tea
The weight loss and cancer-fighting ability of green tea is increased when it is combined with some black pepper. It contains a compound known as piperine, which gives black pepper its unique taste and smell. This substance helps in the better absorption of antioxidants such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) present in green tea in the body.
Tomatoes With Olive Oil
Tomatoes contain an antioxidant called lycopene. This nutrient is fat-soluble and can help in the proper absorption of fats. If you eat tomatoes along with olive oil then the essential fatty acids present in olive oil such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can be better absorbed by the body.
Broccoli With Tomatoes
Apart from being rich in lycopene, tomatoes also contain vitamins C, A, E and B, lutein and zeaxanthin. Broccoli is rich in vitamin K, folate and anti-cancer substances. If you eat these two vegetables together then the cancer-fighting ability of both the vegetables is increased by almost 50 percent.
Kale With Almonds
Kale is rich in manganese, copper, fibre, calcium and potassium, B vitamins and also vitamins C, E, A and K. If almonds are eaten along with kale, the antioxidants present in almonds will help in the absorption of all the nutrients present in the kale. These are among the best foods to eat in combination.
Dark Chocolate With Apples
Dark chocolate increases the heart healthy properties of the apples. The risk of death due to heart attacks can be decreased, if you eat apples along with dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidant called catechins, which supports a healthy heart.
Black Beans With Red Bell Pepper
Black beans are rich in iron, which is difficult to be absorbed by the body. However, if you eat read bell pepper along with it then the vitamin C content in it increases the absorption of iron present in black beans by almost 6 times.
Garlic With Salmon Fish
A study has shown that the cholesterol-reducing properties of garlic is increased if you eat it along with a salmon fish. Salmon fish contains omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients that increase the health properties of garlic.
