Combinations bringing the most health: fish & broccoli

Nowadays, we have virtually endless possibilities of combining various food products. In supermarkets, not only regional and seasonal products are available, but also foreign and exotic ones. Thanks to this, our cuisine certainly becomes diverse and interesting, but you must remember that food interacts with each other, affecting the bioavailability of minerals and vitamins, i.e. the ability of our body to use nutrients. Among nutritionists there is a very good saying, “You are not what you eat but what you digest.” Bad combinations can cause weakness of the digestive tract, decreased immunity, weight gain and many health problems. On the other hand, however, well-selected food products mutually improve the absorption of nutrients causing increased benefits.

Here is one example of the correct combination: fish & broccoli

Advantage: a tasty way to fight cancer

Many fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, cod are rich in selenium with anti-cancer and thyroid protection properties. The combination of broccoli containing very much sulforaphane improves the efficiency of selenium up to thirteen times! Along with the aging processes in our body, more and more single cancer cells are formed, which are initially harmless, but over time can turn into a serious disease. The proliferation of cancer cells is significantly slowed down by the intense action of selenium, and the production of pro-tumor molecules is even stopped. Start prevention today and eat fish with broccoli!
