absorption of important materials that may one day stave off the worst
diseases, keep your heart and immune system operational, and lead to a

So Without further a-do, here are 9 extremely healthy food combos you should be aware of:
Steak + Rosemary
Health Benefit: When meat is cooked above a temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (162 Celsius), it neutralizes carcinogens.
Why It Works:
Heterocyclic amines are materials that may contribute to the formation
of cancer cells. Rosemary is rich in rosmarinic and carnosic acids.
These fight heterocyclic amines and prevent them from forming on cooked
meat. This combination helps alleviate many people's fear of grilled
meat, and helps to increase the health of the grill-based meal.
Tip: Cut
a small sprig of rosemary. After removing the main stem, chop, and add
olive oil, salt, and lemon juice to create a healthy marinade. Grass-fed
beef is a healthier choice with reduced fat intake, and avoids meat
that has been contaminated by veterinary drugs.
Fish + Broccoli

quantities, when paired with Broccoli, a vegtable rich in sulforaphane,

slowing down the growth of new cancer cells, than when you eat the fish
by themselves. solo.
Tip: Try
to get wild-caught Alaskan salmon for the most natural and untampered
product, that has the most chance to avoid parasites and contamination.
Red Wine + Almonds

Red wine contains an antioxidant with the name 'resveratrol'. The
almonds contain large quantities of vitamin E, that together with the
antioxidant help blood production and promote healthy blood vessels. the
blood and improve blood vessel health.
Tip:
Prefer organic wine, since the way they make the regular wine may leave
some pesticide residues, if in small quantities. The same is also true
for almonds by the way.
Tortilla + Veggies

Why It Works:
If you suffer from bloating or gassiness, it doesn't get much better
than combining vegetables with grains or grain-like seeds (millet,
quinoa) while leaving out the meat.
Green Tea + Lemon
Health Benefit: Not only fighting cancer but also promoting weight loss!
Why It Works: Lemons
have high levels of vitamin C, which helps to maximize the body's
ability to abosorb catechins, the antioxidants found in green tea which
help fight diseases and aging.
Tip: If
you drink a lot of tea (which is a good idea), consider turning to
organic loose-leaf tea brewed in a stainless steel infuser that can be
reused (to reduce package waste).
Turmeric & Black Pepper
Health Benefit: This is a match made in heaven! This
spice combo annaihaltes inflammation, may ward off Alzheimer's disease
and fights cancer, while also taking down your cholesterol levels and
improving liver function. If you choose just one of these combos
- choose this one.

it with black pepper, which helps your body absorb about a thousand
(yep, x1000) times more curcumin, the active ingredient in Turmeric
(which can also be bought at nature shops in concerntrated pill form)
and make sure you really get those health benefits Turmeric promises.
Without it, the amount of Curcumin not destroyed by your stomach is very
low.
Pastured Pork + Sauerkraut
Health Benefit: Boost
your digestion system and keep your gastrointestinal tract wholesome
with this Non-starchy and fermented vegetable + animal combo.

When you eat meat, the best thing you can do for your digestive system
is to avoid starch, and so allowing your system to break down the
protein from the meat. If you hate that uncomfortable bloating you
sometimes get after eating, as well as gas, heartburn or just a stomach
ache, you should check our fermented vegetables. The probiotics
contained in these will boost your immune system as well as your
digestive one.
Tip:
Again, we'd recommend grass-fed pork if you can get it (most can't).
It's free of any possible antibiotics or chemcial preservatives, and has
high levels of thiamine, a type of vitamin B that is crucial for a
properly functioning nervous system.
Eggs + Cheese
Health Benefit: Better cognitive functioning, a clearer mind, alleviation of PMS symptoms and surprisngly - weight loss.
Why It Works:
It is well known that one of the benefits of eating egg yolks is that
they are rich in Vitamin D, which will boost the rate by which your body
absorbs the nutrients in cheese, such as the all-important calcium.
Good calcium levels help neurotranmitters function better (cognitive
functioning) and help to stabilize the body's hormone levels, which help
alleviate PMS symptoms and battle weight gain.
Beet Greens + Chickpeas
Health Benefit: Natural mood boost from a much-needed mineral.
How It Works:
Magnesium is essential for low anxiety and happiness, but 70 percent of
Americans don't get enough. Beet greens are loaded with the calming
mineral, and the B6 in chickpeas maximizes magnesium absorption in the
body.
Tip: Look for local, organic beet greens this spring at your farmer's market, and soak and cook dried, organic chickpeas to avoid hormone-disrupting chemicals that can be found in canned foods.
