Some common foods are actually "fairy companions". Eat together, double the nutrition, and the effect is better than eating alone! Today, I recommend eight groups of food partners called "a natural couple". Try it after reading it.

0 1

Mi Dou = high protein combination.

"Rice with beans equals meat", which is also a classic collocation in nutrition. Why do you say that?

Cereals such as rice and white flour have one characteristic-high methionine content and low lysine content, which also makes their protein absorption and utilization rate low. On the other hand, protein contains less methionine and more lysine.

Protein can't be well absorbed by human body. But if they are eaten together, they can complement each other and form a protein combination with high nutritional value, which can also rival the protein of meat.

For people who don't like meat and vegetarian food, this is a better way to supplement protein and avoid malnutrition.

Pig liver spinach = promoting iron absorption

Pig liver is rich in iron, while spinach is rich in vitamin C, which is the "golden partner" for iron supplementation. It can reduce the risk of iron oxidation during digestion, promote the transformation of iron and improve the utilization efficiency of iron in food.

In addition, pig liver is rich in vitamin A, and spinach is one of the best sources of lutein. Vitamin A and lutein are important eye care nutrients, which can delay the deterioration of eye function, improve vision and relieve fatigue.

Therefore, the combination of pig liver and spinach is not only effective in preventing and treating iron deficiency anemia, but also very beneficial to eyes.

03

Fish and tofu = more calcium.

The contents of methionine and lysine in tofu are relatively small, but they are rich in fish. The content of phenylalanine in fish is not high, but it is more in tofu. The combination of the two can complement each other, enhance the absorption and utilization of calcium and improve the effect of calcium supplementation.

04

Pork and cabbage = nutritional complementarity

As the saying goes, "pork is beautiful in meat and cabbage is fresh in vegetables." In fact, the combination of the two is not only delicious, but also nutritious.

Pork is rich in protein, amino acids and iron. However, most of the fat in pork is saturated fatty acid, which easily leads to atherosclerosis and increases the risk of coronary heart disease.

Chinese cabbage contains 90% plant fiber, which can reduce the absorption of saturated fatty acids and promote their excretion. In addition, the vitamin C content of Chinese cabbage is equivalent to that of citrus, which can make up for the deficiency of vitamin C content in pork.

05

Apples and green tea = protect the heart.

Many people have the habit of drinking green tea. If you want to be healthier, you might as well cut a plate of apple slices with green tea.

Apple contains quercetin and green tea contains catechin, which together can prevent platelet aggregation and prevent heart disease.

So if you want to reap better health benefits and protect your heart, you might as well have a cup of apple green tea!
