It is very important to know the proper combinations of certain foods that actually get along well and provide the best nutrients and help in proper absorption as well. Here we will be looking in to some of the food combinations that work well great together and help in proper functioning of the body.

When the two foods are combined, the vitamin c content from the fruit helps in proper absorption of iron from spinach. It also helps to keep the blood oxygenated. You can opt for a warm cup of spinach soup with lemon, spinach smoothies or even a spinach salad with a lemon dressing can do the trick.
  2. Tomatoes and Broccoli – Tomatoes have lycopene which is a strong antioxidant and broccoli is rich in sulforaphane. When these two nutrients are combined, they form a strong nutritive profile provide a number of health benefits. Broccoli and tomatoes can be added in an omelette. They could also be tossed together with a bunch of other vegetables with some seasoning.
