(1) The Famous Turmeric + Black Pepper Combination:
It comes first on our list of Beneficial Food Pairings. Black pepper contains Piperine, which increases the absorption of Curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) by up to 2,000%.
How To Consume: You can consume this in the form of a Golden Milk or Turmeric Detox Shot.
Benefits: Anti-inflammatory in nature, boosts Brain Health, and supports Anti Aging.
(2) EVOO + Tomato:
EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) helps absorb lycopene, a powerful antioxidant in tomatoes.
EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) is a very Healthy Fruit Oil and has a lot of benefits. However, the benefits diminish as they get exposed to heat, and cooking. So EVOO works well as a Salad dressing. EVOO has Oleic Acid (Omega-9 fatty acid), which reduces Inflammation, Supports Brain Health, and Cardiovascular Function.
EVOO Contains Polyphenols (especially Hydroxytyrosol & Oleocanthal)
Hydroxytyrosol & Oleocanthal are Powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, and therefore works as Anti Aging agents. Oleocanthal mimics the pharma Drug Ibuprofen, but is a natural remedy which is a much much much better way, reducing inflammation and therefore helps in Anti Aging. These compounds support Longevity, Brain Clarity, and Joint Health.
EVOO also Contains Squalene. And Squalene is a Natural ingredient that protects Skin and Cell Membranes. And it Helps with Collagen Production, Skin Repair, and an Anti Aging look.
On the other hand, Tomatoes Contain Lycopene, which is a Carotenoid. Carotenoids are plant pigments — They give vibrant red, orange, and yellow colors to fruits and vegetables, and are crucial for Anti-Aging, Immunity, Eye Health, and even Brain Performance. Carotenoids are Powerful Antioxidants that protect your body from Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Cellular Damage. As mentioned, EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) helps absorb lycopene, a powerful antioxidant in tomatoes.
Lycopene protects Skin from UV damage and aging (internal sunscreen effect), and also reduces Oxidative Stress and DNA damage. Lycopene Improves Cardiovascular health and may reduce Cancer risk, especially Prostate. Supports Brain and Eye Health. So that’s how Tomatoes are Anti Aging and Anti Inflammatory in nature.
How To Consume: You can consume this in the form of a Salads like the Tomato EVOO Detox Salad with Microgreens (consisting mainly of EVOO, Tomatoes, Spinach or popular microgreens like Sunflower, Cabbage or Broccoli, Avocado, Pink Salt, and sprinkle some lime which is optional. But remember that if you add Cabbage or Broccoli to your salad then Lime/Vinegar is not a Beneficial Food Pairing) Or
Slow-Roasted Tomatoes with EVOO & Garlic Combination (consisting of Roma or Cherry tomatoes, EVOO, garlic, Fresh thyme or rosemary which is optional, and Sea Salt along with Cracked Black Pepper to taste)
Benefits: Together, this combination supports Skin Health, Reduces Oxidative Stress, protects the heart, and slows cellular aging. Enjoy this combo regularly in salads, pasta, or Mediterranean-style dishes to harness its full Anti Aging, Anti Inflammatory, and Brain Supportive power. For best results, use cold-pressed, high-polyphenol EVOO and cook tomatoes lightly to increase Lycopene availability.
(3) Broccoli + Mustard Seeds
The Science Behind It:
- Broccoli contains a sulfur-rich compound called Glucoraphanin.
- When broccoli is chopped or chewed, an enzyme called Myrosinase (naturally present in raw broccoli) converts Glucoraphanin into Sulforaphane.
- Sulforaphane is a potent detoxifier, anti-cancer compound, and cellular antioxidant.
So if Broccoli contains Myrosinase, then What is the Problem?:
- Cooking Broccoli destroys Myrosinase — especially if steamed or boiled.
- Without Myrosinase, Sulforaphane won’t form effectively.
How to Effectively Fix This issue: Mustard Seeds
Adding even a small amount of mustard powder or seeds to cooked Broccoli restores or even enhances Sulforaphane production.
Mustard seeds are rich in heat-stable Myrosinase.
How To Consume: Warm Broccoli Detox Bowl with Mustard Seeds & EVOO.
(Sprinkle of Black Pepper or Turmeric, Broccoli, Mustard seeds, EVOO, 1 Clove Garlic, minced, A pinch of pink Himalayan Salt) Or
Raw Broccoli-Mustard Microgreen Salad
(Raw Broccoli, some Broccoli or Mustard Microgreens, Mustard Powder, EVOO, and some Sunflower or Pumpkin seeds which is optional)
Benefits: Broccoli combined with Mustard Seeds boosts sulforaphane production, a powerful compound that Detoxes the body, reduces Inflammation, and protects Against Cancer. This combo supports Brain Function, Hormone Balance, Mitochondrial Health, and DNA repair while enhancing nutrient absorption. It’s a smart, natural way to activate deep Cellular Healing and Slows Aging from the inside out.
(4) Salmon + Leafy Greens
Why Salmon + Leafy Greens Work Together?:
Calcium + Vitamin D Synergy:
- Leafy greens like Kale, Spinach, and Collards are rich in Plant-based Calcium.
- However, calcium needs Vitamin D to be effectively absorbed and utilized in the body.
- Salmon is one of the best natural sources of vitamin D, especially wild-caught.
Polyphenols + Omega-3 Synergy:
Also remember that Leafy Greens’ polyphenols and Magnesium, and Salmon’s omega-3s (EPA & DHA) work together to lower inflammation, protecting joints and slowing aging.
Vitamin-K + Vitamin-D Synergy:
And, Vitamin K in greens supports Heart and Brain Health when paired with Salmon’s Vitamin D and Healthy Fats. Together, they improve Blood flow, Memory, and Cognitive Function.
Chlorophyll + Selenium Synergy:
Leafy greens’ Chlorophyll aids Liver detox, while Salmon’s Selenium boosts Antioxidant defense — enhancing Cellular Repair and Longevity.
Spinach, Kale, Swiss chard, Collard greens, Mustard greens, Arugula, Romaine lettuce, Beet greens, and Moringa leaves are all examples of Leafy Greens.
How To Consume: Warm Salmon & Kale Power Bowl
(Wild-caught Salmon fillet, Chopped Kale, EVOO, Lemon Juice, Garlic Clove, Flaxseeds which is optional, and Pink Salt & Pepper to taste) Or
Spinach-Stuffed Salmon Fillet:
(Salmon fillets, Fresh Chopped Spinach, Feta Cheese or Mashed Avocado, Garlic clove, EVOO, and Pink salt & pepper)
Benefits: This combo provides Vitamin D (from Salmon) to help absorb Calcium (from Greens), promoting Strong bones and Teeth. It delivers Omega-3s, Magnesium, Vitamin K, and Antioxidants that fight Inflammation, support Brain and Heart Health, Boost Detoxification, and enhance Cellular Repair — making it a great Anti Aging meal.
(5) Apples + Dark Chocolate
Why This Combo is Beneficial:
Apples – The Quercetin Powerhouse
Quercetin is a flavonoid antioxidant found especially in the skin of red apples.
Quercetin Reduces Inflammation by lowering cytokine levels, Protects Neurons from oxidative stress, Improves Circulation, and Supports Immune Function.
Helps Reduce LDL Oxidation, protecting Arteries.
Dark Chocolate – Rich in Catechins & Flavanols
High-quality Dark Chocolate (70%+ cacao) is rich in Catechins, Epicatechins, and Flavanols.
Boosts Nitric Oxide → better Blood flow to the Brain and Heart
Enhances Mood, Memory, and Focus
Contains Magnesium and Theobromine, which Relax Muscles and Boost Alertness
Improves Skin Hydration and Elasticity (great for Anti Aging)
Tip: Choose Unsweetened or monk-fruit sweetened Dark Chocolate to avoid Sugar-Induced Inflammation.
When you combine Quercetin + Catechins, they:
- Synergistically reduce oxidative stress
- Improve Endothelial function → Better Blood Pressure & Circulation
- Activates anti-aging genes (like SIRT1)
- Enhance mitochondrial health and cellular energy
- May help prevent neurodegenerative conditions (like Alzheimer’s)
How To Consume: It is recommended to just consume them separately without juicing the Apple, which will break down Fibre of the Apple.
Benefits: Brain-boosting, Heart-protective, Anti-inflammatory, Skin-friendly, Mood & memory enhancer, Longevity supporting.
