One interesting aspect of healthy eating is the concept of ’food synergy.‘ Food synergy is the idea that the combination of certain foods can create a greater health benefit than the sum of their individual parts.

When we consume foods that work synergistically, their nutrients interact and enhance each other's absorption, bioavailability, and overall health benefits. For example, pairing iron-rich foods like spinach or lentils with foods high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits or bell peppers, can improve iron absorption in the body. 👌🏼
