The Science of Food Pairing

We eat a wide variety of foods every day, but how to pair them properly for a healthy diet is the biggest concern for people. Recently, authoritative medical experts and nutritionists have recommended scientific pairings of common foods for us.

Spinach can promote sexual function, help muscle growth, strengthen heart health and bone growth, and also improve eyesight. Spinach is also rich in folic acid, which can help reduce the incidence of heart disease and stroke. In addition, spinach is also rich in lutein, a compound that can counteract age-related degeneration in the human body.

Nutritionist's advice: Spinach can be added to salads, or stir-fried with eggs. Recommended - Sesame Spinach

Boil spinach in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain the water, then mix in 1 spoonful of soy sauce, 1 spoonful of roasted sesame seeds, and a little minced garlic, salt, and chicken essence. It is ready to eat.

Yogurt is the best food to fight cancer, and it also has many other benefits such as strengthening bones and boosting immunity.

Put strawberries (or other fruits) into a juicer to make juice, then mix it evenly with yogurt and drink.

Carrots have the function of fighting cancer, and can also enhance immunity and improve eyesight. Most red, yellow, or orange fruits and vegetables contain carotene, a fat-soluble compound that can inhibit various cancers and reduce the risk of diseases such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. The ideal daily intake is 1/2 cup of carrot juice.

Slice the carrots and the chicken. Coat the chicken slices with wet starch. Stir-fry the chicken slices in a wok of oil, then add the carrot slices and stir-fry together. When it's 80% cooked, add salt and chicken essence to season.
