How To Combine Your Food

This is a good write up on pairing foods together for better nutritional absorption. In short, some micronutrients won’t absorb unless their partner micronutrients are present. For example scientists have found that we absorb little to no calcium from milk. Goes against everything you were taught about milk, right? Turns out we need magnesium present in the body to absorb calcium, which milk doesn’t have. The research is still evolving around pairing foods together but this list is a good start. Last night I made a salad containing avocado, tomato, basil, onion, and balsamic vinegar. Easy, tasty, and healthy.
