HEALTHY FOOD BLENDS
Added on: 23rd Sep 2015
Certain food combinations work together
to give you the maximum health benefit possible.
By properly combining certain foods you can
lower your cancer risk, strengthen your bones,
boost your immunity, and improve your skin.
SALMON AND A GLASS OF RED WINE
The antioxidants in the red wine absorb the omega-3 fatty acids in salmon.
This splendid duo keeps depression at bay and enhances brain
function the following day.
SPINACH, TOMATO, CARROT, MARJORAM AND A
TABLESPOON OF OLIVE OIL
These antioxidant loaded veggies work a lot better with olive oil since
it helps the body absorb the nutrients for a more stable immune
system, glowing skin and strong heart. With Marjoram, the
antioxidant potency shoots up to 200 percent higher.
SWEET POTATO WITH CHEESE
Sweet potato, which has beta carotene and lutein, while cheese,
containing fatty acids, work amazingly well as the latter enables
fast absorption of the carotenoids in the former.
SWEET POTATO WITH ALMONDS
Sweet potatoes are rich in beta carotene and vitamin C which works
well with tree nuts containing vitamin E (such as almonds) in order
to help lower cholesterol levels.
SWISS CHARD, SPINACH OR BROCCOLI
SAUTÉED IN OLIVE OIL
Sautéing swiss chard, spinach or broccoli in oil is a combo which
contains both vitamin K and healthy fat. The latter lowers
cholesterol and breaks down vitamins like vitamin K which is
crucial in preventing blood clots.
TRY A MIX MADE WITH DRIED APRICOTS,
DRIED PAPAYA, ALMONDS AND WALNUTS
This snack is full of anti-ageing nutrients which are easily accessible
and portable.
TUNA WITH LEMON
A squeeze of lemon makes tuna not just smell good but taste
absolutely fantastic. Aside from the flavour, lemon converts the
iron in tuna into a more absorbable form which feeds your
blood with more oxygen.
WILD RICE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS
Onions contain sulphur compounds that amplify the absorption
of the zinc in wild rice.
