5 powerful food pairings for maximum nutrition
Coq au Vin with Lemon-Almond Couscous
Featured power couple: Vitamin E (almonds) + resveratrol (red wine and grapes)
Both considered antioxidant nutrients, vitamin E and resveratrol may work better together than either nutrient does alone to protect against heart disease.
Resveratrol, which is found most highly concentrated in the skin and seeds of red grapes, is a polyphenol that protects against injury, fungal infection, and exposure to UV radiation in plants—and scientists believe resveratrol may offer similar protective benefits in humans.
Vitamin E (a nutrient found abundantly in almonds and other nuts) is a super antioxidant that may protect against cancer and slow declines in Alzheimer’s patients.
