Don’t just have eggs - have eggs and cantaloupe. Power food pairs...


If we pair the right foods, we can really boost the nutritional health benefits. 

Here are some power food pairs:

* Oatmeal and orange juice: Drinking vitamin C-rich orange juice while eating a bowl of real, not processed oatmeal helps to clean your arteries by stabilizing your LDL cholesterol. 

* Eggs and cantaloupe: The protein in the eggs works even better when you pair that with the good carbs in the cantaloupe. The protein slows the absorption of the sugars in the melon, resulting in sustained energy. Skip the starches like toast with this one. 

* Red meat and rosemary: Rosemary mixes well with all kinds of grilled foods and lowers the carcinogens. The herb's antioxidants literally soak up the meat's dangerous free radicals.

* Red wine and chocolate: This particular power pair has compounds that act as anticoagulants and can be good for cardiovascular health.
