Foods That Work Better Together Than Apart

“We all know there are foods that taste delicious together — say, peanut butter and chocolate, French fries and ketchup, or chips and salsa. But despite the yumminess of these snacks, they don’t do much for our bodies — so wouldn’t it be incredible if we could get healthier just by eating certain things together?

Luckily, science seems to have figured out just that with the concept of ‘food synergy,’ which posits that particular nutrients can work better in our bodies alongside each other. While its basis is pure biology — a wide variety of whole foods will offer more benefits than a singular type of nutrient — recent studies showing just how and where these enhancements help us only adds impact to the pairings.” via Food Synergy: Foods That Work Better Together Than Apart.
