Dear Savvy Friend,

Do you enjoy your food? Let’s face it: Who doesn’t? But did you know that certain powerful foods could leave you feeling not only satisfied but disease-free too? Here are 4 reasons to enjoy your meals even more:
 
1. Beat cancer with this incredible duo: If you combine two food components called sulphoraphane and selenium, you make them up to 13 times more powerful in attacking cancer. Sulphoraphane is a plant chemical that’s proven to prevent and fight cancer. You can find it in foods like broccoli, sprouts, cabbage, watercress and roquette salad. And foods rich in the essential mineral selenium include nuts, poultry, fish, eggs, sunflower seeds and mushrooms.
 
Also you could increase your body’s absorption of key nutrients by combining these powerful foods:

2. Vitamin C and iron: In order to absorb and use iron your body needs vitamin C. So combine foods high in vitamin C (e.g. chilli) with iron (e.g. beef) for great health benefits.

3. Carbohydrates and vitamin B: In order to metabolise carbohydrates properly, your body needs vitamin B. So to avoid high blood sugar, eat carbohydrates with foods high in vitamin B (e.g. avocado and salmon).

4. Calcium and phosphorous: Prevent osteoporosis by eating calcium-rich food combinedwith foods high in phosphorous (e.g. nuts, seeds and whole grains). Or eat your dairy products with foods high in vitamin D (salmon and oysters).
 
Treatments for the world’s great plagues aren’t in your medicine chest. They’re hiding in your pantry! Nothing else even comes close to the life-giving power of food.
