What is food synergy

In ancient times, people noticed that some combinations of products are more successful than others. Today, we call it food synergy, a combination of foods that maximizes the benefits of the body.





Food synergies It is clearly expressed in 9 pairs presented by us. Vitamins and nutrients of these products successfully complement each other, which makes their absorption much more effective and complete.

The right food
  1. Liver and Bulgarian pepper
    Vitamin C greatly facilitates the absorption of iron, which plays an important role in the enrichment of blood and body tissues with oxygen. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia (anemia), decreased immunity and increased fatigue. 534682.



    One of the richest sources of iron is beef liver. Vitamin C is quite a lot (3-4 times more than in citrus fruits) in Bulgarian pepper.





    Therefore liver and pepper An ideal duet for those suffering from anemia. Do not spoil the company tomatoes, broccoli and kale cabbage, which for low calorie content and high nutrient content is called “supervegetable”.

  2. Oatmeal and milk
    Good news for those who have breakfast with milk. The combination of magnesium in oatmeal and calcium in milk contributes to a more complete absorption of calcium. And how this affects the health of bones and teeth, I think no one needs to tell.


  3. Tomatoes and olive oil
    The combination of natural antioxidant-rich lycopene red vegetables (tomatoes and carrots) with unsaturated fats (olive oil, salmon, avocados, walnuts) helps us absorb 8 times more lycopene than if we eat the same tomatoes separately.



    Lycopene is useful for the prevention of oncological and cardiovascular diseases. According to a number of studies, the higher the concentration of lycopene in the blood plasma, the lower the risk of stroke and heart attack, and the lower the level of “bad” cholesterol.

  4. Apples and chocolate
    Anti-inflammatory quercetin in apples and catechins in chocolate together reduce the possibility of thrombosis and contribute to the improvement of the cardiovascular system. Apples are better not to peel from the skin: it has a lot of useful substances.



    Earlier we talked about multivitamin apples of the Ural breeder Leonid Vigorov. The content of vitamins, vital microelements and natural antibiotics in the best of them is an order of magnitude higher than average values.

  5. Eggs and melon
    This combination can hardly be called ordinary. It is useful because you absorb proteins along with useful carbohydrates. The combination of these products regulates the level of insulin in the body and thereby reduces the risk of diabetes, cancer, inflammatory processes and other diseases.


  6. Soy and salmon
    Isoflavin, which is contained in soy, contributes to better absorption of vitamin D in the organization. As for fish, in particular salmon and tuna, they are especially high levels of this vitamin, so necessary for health.



    According to experts, vitamin D reduces the risk of cancer. Frequent infections, constant fatigue, deterioration of teeth, hair and nails are not all signs of its deficiency.




  7. Green tea and lemon
    Green tea catechins inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Lemon juice contributes to the better absorption of these organic substances.


  8. Fish and garlic
    Fatty acids contained in fish lower cholesterol levels, and garlic strengthens the heart. Their simultaneous consumption in food has an anti-inflammatory effect.


  9. Buckwheat and poultry
