Superfood Combinations

Experts say good nutrition isn't just about one superstar ingredient; it's about group dynamics -- the way certain food combinations work together for maximum health benefits. These superfood combinations can lower your cancer risk, strengthen your bones, boost your immunity, and give you better skin.

Salsa + Avocado = Lower Cancer Risk

While salsa alone is super healthy, this pairing helps you soak up four times more cancer-fighting lycopene and almost three times more immune-boosting beta-carotene, finds an Ohio State University study. You can thank the fat in avocado for the lift.

Equally good: Use cubed avocado and salsa as an omelet filling for breakfast.

Next: Iron-Fortified Cereal + Glass of OJ = More Energy

I agree with Delilah Ortaga - it would be nice if you gave us the recipe for the salsa and maybe even for the salsa and avocado omelet - quantities help.
