Super Food Duos

Some foods not only taste better together, they complement each other nutritionally, as well. According to Spry Living, the following foods work wonders for your body when combined.

• Iron + Vitamin C. Iron rich foods such as spinach, clams, and other meat sources should be consumed with foods containing Vitamin C, such as oranges. The Vitamin C helps your body absorb the iron.

• Monounsaturated Fat + Vegetables. Monounsaturated fats are healthy fats found in such foods as avocado and olive oil. These fats help your body absorb the nutrients in vegetables.

• Apples + Grapes. Apples contain quercetin, a phtochemical that when combined with the catechin in red grapes, reduces a person's risk for stroke and heart attack.
