Stumbleupon has brought me many great from the worldwide web, but this article on power food combos is one of my favorites. There are certain foods that become healthier and more beneficial when eaten in combination.
The Top 10
1. Spinach & Beets
Spinach is heavy in iron, and iron consumption is best absorbed when combined with Vitamin C (found in beets)
2. Tomatoes & Olive Oil
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene (reduces risks of certain cancers) and is fat-soluble, so combining it with a healthy, monosaturated fat like olive oil helps boost absorption even more.
3. Beef & Carrots
This combo will help boost your immune function
4. Green Tea & Lemon
Green Tea is pretty bossy by itself - full of antioxidants, revs up metabolism and keep you hydrated. But when you add lemon to the mix your body absorbs 13 times more antioxidants.
5. Garlic & Fish
Garlic is heart-healthy and fish oils are cholesterol reducing...these can act as an anti-inflammatory.
6. Red Meats & Rosemary
Rosemary can help absorb the free radicals in red meat, which are the key signs of aging
7. Orange juice & Oatmeal
This combination can help prevent heart attacks and clean out the ol' arteries.
8. Apples & Red wine
These bad boys combined can help prevent blood clots and improve cardiovascular functioning.
9. Blueberries & Grapes
Eaten together improves their antioxidant powers
10. Nuts & Seeds & Dried Fruits
Bossy protein pack
