Combinations Help Cure

"Put a colour upon a canvas-- it not only colours with that colour the part of the canvas to which the colour has been applied, but it also colours the surrounding space with the complementary."  Henri Matisse

If you are familiar with the work of Henri Matisse, then you may understand how the combination of complimentary items have positive effects on each other.  Yesterday after I wrote the blog about the use of turmeric in cancer care, I received comments from readers about how turmeric can also be helpful in combination with other vegetables like yellow onions.  It appears onions in combination with turmeric interact to provide a power to enhance the cancer fighting effects of each other.
After researching how certain food combinations have an enhanced power to combat cancer, Dr. Oz reports that some of these food combinations include; chicken and broccoli; avocado and salsa; turmeric and yellow onions; and grilled salmon with watercress.  Dr Oz said, "If you eat chicken and broccoli together at the same time, then it is three times more effective at fighting Breast Cancer! Salsa is full of lycopene and reduces risk of Lung Cancer and Bladder Cancer. Avocado helps you absorb five times more lycpene." Have a great Mexican Taco Night!!!
