JAKARTA, SEMARAKNEWS.CO.ID - There is a concept of effective food combinations for losing weight while improving the quality of the body's immunity every day.
Research shows that there are certain foods that, when combined strategically, can increase nutrient absorption, improve digestion, and amplify the health benefits of their individual components.
Nutritionist Apurwa Agarwal in a recent Instagram post shared foods that should be eaten together to improve health.
For overall well-being, there are some foods that when combined can enhance each other's benefits.
Reporting from the Indianexpress page, here are 4 food combinations that help increase human immunity:
1. Tomato and avocado
Pairing avocado with tomatoes is not just a culinary delight, it's also a nutritional powerhouse.
“The monounsaturated fat in avocados makes the cancer-fighting lycopene in tomatoes four times more powerful,” says Agarwal.
This combination not only enhances the taste of salads and sandwiches but also maximizes the bioavailability of key nutrients.
2. Apple and dark chocolate
Apples with dark chocolate are not only appetizing, but also contribute to a healthy diet.
"The anti-inflammatories important for heart health found in apples and the powerful antioxidants found in dark chocolate fight blood clots, improve circulation and reduce the chance of heart disease," explains the nutritionist.
To enjoy the food combination, melt dark chocolate and layer it over apple slices or enjoy as a dip.
However, it is important to pay attention to portion sizes and choose high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% to maximize health benefits.
