Here are a few food combinations that work well and make one stay healthy.
Eggs and Mango gives you firm skin. When mango is in season, eating eggs and mango together work well. Amino acids that necessary for collagen are found in eggs. This works well with Vitamin C found in mango that boosts the collagen production.
Red bell peppers and black beans improves immunity. Red peppers are rich in immune boosting plant iron. Black beans also contain iron, but they are difficult to absorb. Paired with the Vitamin C found in red peppers, this iron becomes easier for the body to absorb.

Oatmeal and strawberries give you a healthier heart. Phyto chemicals called avenanthramides and phenolic acids found in oats work well with Vitamin C to reduce bad cholesterol and prevent plaque build up in the heart.
