2 Food Combos to Improve Your Life

One of the best ways to live a longer, healthier life is to watch the foods you eat. You may have to bypass cravings for fatty or processed foods in favor of others that have definite health benefits, from reducing risk of heart disease to helping you slim down. Here are two good ones to start:

Apricots and Almonds: These foods, when eaten together, help prevent bad LDL cholesterol from oxidizing, preventing dangerous plaque buildup in the arteries. Try a quarter-cup of each for a snack.

Garlic and Onions: These aromatic veggies not only help your heart, but may also reduce your risk of cancer. Try them together in a delicious sauce or soup.
