In recent years, some nutrition experts at home and abroad have found that certain foods, when consumed in combination, not only enable the human body to absorb nutrients more effectively but also have certain disease-preventing and therapeutic effects. Apples, Onions and tea leaves. Dutch medical researchers believe that apples, Onions and tea are rich in flavonoids, which can protect the heart. After a five-year observation of 805 men aged 65 to 84, it was proved that flavonoids in the diet mainly come from apples, Onions and tea. Men who drink more than four cups of tea every day have a 45% lower risk of dying from heart disease, and those who eat one or more apples have a 50% lower risk. Vegetables + fruits + fish. Foreign experts have found that a reasonable adjustment of the diet structure can help lower blood pressure. Studies show that vegetables, fish and fruits are the best diet for controlling blood pressure. Vegetables are rich in cellulose, minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium in fruits, and unsaturated fatty acids in fish, all of which are beneficial for increasing the elasticity of blood vessel walls, thereby lowering blood pressure and restoring it to normal. Tofu and ten fish. Tofu cooked with fish is not only delicious and fresh, but also can prevent various bone diseases, such as rickets in children and osteoporosis, which is common among the elderly. Tofu is rich in calcium. If eaten alone, its absorption rate is relatively low. However, when eaten together with fish meat which is rich in vitamin D, it can have an additive effect on the absorption and utilization of calcium. Ten servings of pork liver. Pork liver is rich in folic acid, vitamin B12 and iron and other hematopoietic raw materials. Spinach also contains a considerable amount of folic acid and iron. Eating these two foods together, one meat and one vegetable. Complementary to each other, it is a folk dietary therapy for preventing and treating anemia in the elderly. Tofu and radish. Tofu is rich in plant protein. People with weak spleen and stomach may suffer from indigestion if they eat too much. Radish has a strong ability to aid digestion. When cooked together with it, the nutrients in tofu can be absorbed in large quantities by the human body. Mutton and ginger. Both mutton and ginger are pungent and warm in nature. Mutton can replenish blood and qi and warm kidney Yang, while ginger has the effects of relieving pain and dispelling rheumatism. At the same time, ginger can not only remove the strong smell of fishy and muttony flavors, but also assist mutton in warming Yang and dispelling cold. When combined, they can treat cold pain in the waist and back, rheumatism pain in the four limbs, etc. It truly lives up to its reputation as an excellent tonic for winter. Beef and potatoes. Beef is a highly nutritious high-protein food. However, beef is rough and eating it may affect the function of the gastric mucosa. If potatoes are cooked together with beef, not only will the taste be good. Moreover, as potatoes contain various vitamins, they can protect the gastric mucosa and aid digestion. Chicken and chestnuts. Chicken is a food that promotes blood production and treats deficiency, while chestnuts are mainly used to strengthen the spleen. Roast chicken with chestnuts is delicious. What's more, when cooked together, the nutritional content is extremely high and the hematopoietic function is stronger. Especially when cooked with an old hen and chestnuts, the effect is even better. (Quoted from "Life and Health"
