Dynamic Duos: Disease-Fighting Food Pairings

Dynamic Duos   These disease-fighting food pairings are greater than the sum of their nutritional parts.   Some talents just work better as a team. Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. Karl Malone and John Stockton. They bring out the best in each another. Food can work that way, too. Although researchers tend to isolate foods, nutrients, or phytochemicals and study their effects on health, there's growing interest among nutrition scientists in examining the relationships between them. The foods that follow can do more for your health together than they ever could alone—like lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes. Synergy can occur across different types of foods or even within a food itself, and the tag-team ingredients don't necessarily need to be in the same mouthful, or even the same meal.   More >       Also Check Out:     Back to Basics   Returning to form doesn't need to be confusing.
