3. Lemon and green tea
Adding a splash of lemon to your green tea not only adds a refreshing touch to your daily hydration routine, but also supports heart health.
Green tea, which is known for its antioxidant content, can be further enhanced by combining lemon.
The vitamin C in lemon stabilizes the catechins in green tea, preventing their breakdown and increasing their overall antioxidant power.
4. Beans and beets
Whether tossed in a salad, mixed into a sauce, or tossed into a soup, chickpeas and beets complement each other well.
“Chinese beans are rich in vitamin B6, a vitamin that helps the body absorb magnesium-rich foods like beets,” says Agarwal.
These strategic food pairings offer a fun, health-conscious way to nourish our bodies.
This is a reminder that sometimes, the synergy of certain foods can be more impactful than the nutritional content of the individual foods.
