4 Powerful Food Combinations
Here are some tasty suggestions!
Grilled meat + citrus fruit:
Using sliced citrus fruit in a salad to accompany grilled meat helps to reduce the effects of carcinogenic compounds formed by the charring of meat grilled over hot coals. It also helps to reduce the absorption of fats ingested during the meal.
Fish + garlic:
Garlic helps the body regulate bad cholesterol (LDL) and has anti-bacterial properties. When combined with fish or healthier fats, such as olive oil, it also helps prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Olive oil + tomatoes:
Olive oil, despite being a healthy fat, is a caloric food and should be consumed in moderation. It is rich in oleic acid, an acid that protects the cardiovascular system.
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant pigment, which, when combined with olive oil, enhances its action and is better absorbed by the body.
Oat flakes + cinnamon:
Oats are very rich in fiber, which helps regulate intestinal transit and keeps you feeling full for longer.
Cinnamon helps reduce the absorption of sugar and has a thermogenic effect, i.e. it increases the functioning of your metabolism at rest, promoting the consumption of fat.
