Research shows certain foods suddenly become healthier when eaten in combination. From spinach and beets to red wine and apples, here are 10 pairings that boost each other’s benefits. Why does orange juice taste so good with oatmeal? And what is it about olive oil that enhances the flavor of tomatoes? The answers to these questions, it turns out, are buried deep within our instincts. New evidence suggests that certain foods that taste great together also interact with one another in nutritionally positive ways. In other words, two particular foods consumed in combination can actually deliver more benefits than either one would on its own. Epidemiologist David R. Jacobs refers to this phenomenon as “food synergy.” He believes that it might explain why we are inherently crave certain foods together, as well as how they join forces to protect and nourish our bodies. Here are 10 food combos that maximize absorption of the good elements while keeping the bad ones out of your system.



News Page Instructions

Dear friends, in our quest to continuously improve Enriching-Life.com we have created a new News page for you. Here are some instructions to help you find your way around:

1. Icons
NEW!

Let's quickly explain what the icons stand for:

All News:
When the "All News" icon is active then the entire news content including videos, photos, quotes etc. is displayed in the content section.

Articles:
If you select the "Articles" icon then only articles are shown in the middle content sections.

Videos:
As the icon's name suggests, only "Videos" are listed if you click this icon.

Photos:
Yes, the "Photos" icon only gives you the photos which have been uploaded to site.

Quotes:
When clicking on the "Quotes" icon all the quotes ever submitted to our site are displayed in the content section.

Downloads:
Here you'll find helpful und interesting eBooks for download.

Submit News:
This icon is a new speedy way to submit catchy articles, photos, videos etc. to our site. Click on the icon and the "submit news" page, just as you know it, will open.

2. The content section:

The content section (left part of the screen) kind of stayed the same. You can still choose if you want to view the "latest", "popular", "random" or your "favourite" articles, videos, quotes, photos etc. by selecting the corresponding tab at the top of the frame. The functionality of the links remained the same too.

3. The sidebar
NEW!

The sidebar has been subject to some nifty improvements, which we hope you like and find helpful. Read on!

The sidebar has been subject to some nifty improvements, which we hope you like and find helpful. Read on!

The Life Area Box (at top of sidebar) We've given the individual Life Areas new icons to improve their looks

AND

if you click on a Life Area not only the drop down menu with the associated life areas opens, but right below the Life Area box you’ll now find a new feature displaying selected users who are particularly interested in your selected life area! So quickly make friends with them!

AND

we've even pushed it further and added another feature right below to suggest Life Dreams relating to the Life Area you've chosen. We believe this will inspire you to create your own life dreams or to join the life dreams displayed in the box.

And right below you can still find our "Related Books" section.

If you have questions about our new News page or suggestions on how to improve it further, please don't hesitate to get in touch! We look forward to hearing from you! Have fun, improve your life and live your dreams! Your Enriching-Life Team

Have fun, improve your life and live your dreams!

    Recently, I recieved a lot of post from my twitter that alcohol can cause cancer and it freaks me out, I'm not only sure if Red wine is exempted with that cause it also contain alcohol...maybe not because this post from angel is even giving us the hint to have a good combination with it. Any Idea???

    Hi Roslyn, all reports I've seen refer to the health benefits of red wine if you drink a glass or two per day. If you drink one or two bottles a day then it will most likely not have such a good impact on your health anymore:)
