Have you ever wondered if pairing certain foods together really made a difference? Believe it or not it does! Pairing two perfect partners together can make the nutrient benefits skyrocket! Here are a few to try:
Oatmeal and Blueberries: This happy couple helps your body absorb iron more efficiently which results in a richer iron supply. This in turn can help improve memory.
Try: Add some cinnamin, sugar free syrup, and blueberries to your oatmeal and BAM! There you have a tasty breakfast.
Avocado and Salad with veggies: Studies show this pairing promotes better absorbtion of fat-soluble carotenoids. The healthy fats in avocado also helps better cell membranes.
Try: Slice up some avocado and add it to your baby spinach salad mixed with bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, cucumber, onion, and a splash of lemon juice.
Chicken and Broccoli: Together these two boost the anti-cancer enzyme thioredoxin reductase. Studies show this enzyme is 13 times more active when these foods are eaten together.
Try: Cook up some chicken fajita strips and peppers and toss in some broccoli sprouts for added flavor.
These are a few of my favorite diet staples to pair together. Try them out and make to leave some comments and tell me what you think.
