HEALTHY SUPERFOOD COMBINATIONS

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.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH SHAVED PARMESAN

Asparagus is a great source of Inulin, the type of fibre which

balances the levels of the good bacteria in the digestion process.

Parmesan, of course is a type of cheese and is rich in

calcium for your bones. Inulin in asparagus enhances calcium

absorption. These two healthy treats make a good combo

since they work together for a healthy tummy and stronger bones.

AVOCADO IN SALSA

Want a power packed fun snack combination?

Try salsa and avocado. While salsa alone is a good healthy

choice, this pairing gives you up to four times more

cancer-fighting lycopene and almost three times more

immune-boosting beta-carotene.

BROCCOLI-CHEESE OMELETTE

This trio promotes sturdier bones since they’re fortified

with Vitamin D and calcium. To break it down, the

Vitamin D in egg yolks helps the calcium in broccoli and

cheese to be absorbed by the body. Studies also report

that it doesn’t only promote the strengthening of the

skeletal system, it also helps women get less crankier

in their pre-menstrual days.

CANTALOUPE WITH YOGURT

The vitamin A in cantaloupe helps ward off viruses.

However, when you pair that with foods that are high in zinc

(Like yogurt), it helps the body use almost 100 percent of the nutrient.

IRON FORTIFIED CEREAL AND GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE

Eating iron-fortified cereals help in enhancing your energy.

Pair that with a half cup of orange juice, and you have a

combination that increases the amount of iron absorbed

six fold.

DARK CHOCOLATE WITH RASPBERRIES

Dark chocolate is known for having a host of health benefits.

Pair it with raspberries and you’re not only satisfying your

sweet tooth but you’ll also keep your heart smiling since

the pairing boosts the antioxidant potency of chocolate.

EDAMAME AND MISO SOUP

Edamame or soybeans contain prebiotics which is essential

in the production of good bacteria. Drowning it in fermented

foods like Miso soup not only gives the beans its tang but

also works to fight gastrointestinal infections and

improve digestion.

SPINACH AND AVOCADOS

Spinach is packed with lutein and vitamin A, which helps

in protecting your eyes from diseases. By adding avocado

not only are you adding more lutein and vitamin A to the

protective mix but you are also providing the healthy fats

which your body needs to absorb the nutrients.

GREEK YOGURT, CHOCOLATE, WALNUT, AND

WILD BLUEBERRY PARFAIT

With the calcium and prebiotics from yogurt and brain

nutrients from walnuts and wild blueberries, it’s no wonder

this sweet cup of heaven would not only tickle your taste buds,

but nourish your body from head to toe, inside and out.
