Often food that tastes good and the one that has multifold health benefits don’t go hand in hand. Frequently the tastiest of food items are loaded with health hazards. We have a list of harmful effects of many of our preferred food items.

What if I suggested to you foods that taste great and also give you great health benefits, I’m sure you’ll jump out of your chair. Here’s a list try them and maybe you could add to my post what benefits you achieved from them.

Eggs and Orange Juice

These favorites at breakfast time also give a red signal to anaemia

How do they work?

Eggs are a great source of iron, a nutrient that increases the supply of blood. Many women don’t get enough of iron and hence they are at a risk of anaemia. This results in constant tiredness, lack of vitality and low levels of concentration.

Eggs are supposed to boost iron intake but there is a catch. The iron that they supply is not as easily absorbed by the body as the iron which is found in red meat. Citrus fruits like orange contain vitamin C which helps the body absorb more iron from eggs. This in a way means that the more vitamin C you consume the more iron you will absorb. So remember to have a large glass of orange juice with eggs.

Salsa and Broccoli and serve salsa with broccoli crudities to prevent prostrate cancer.
