Some food combinations are superior than others. Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist with training from Harvard and Stanford, shares this opinion. The gut specialist frequently posts food combinations for treating gut issues, dietary recommendations, and health warnings for improving liver and gut health online.

Dr. Sethi mentioned four food pairings that are beneficial for your gut health in a video that was posted on June 22. "A gastroenterologist's top stomach health combinations," he penned. He described the effects of mixing specific foods and how they may improve your gut health. Let's see the pairings he mentioned:

1. Eat citrusy fruits with iron-rich foods

The gastroenterologist advised his followers to combine citrus fruits like oranges with iron-rich foods like lentils. According to him, if you pair the two food groups, the vitamin C in citrus fruits improves the absorption of non-heme iron, helping you absorb more iron from plant-based foods.

2. Eat turmeric with black pepper

The gastroenterologist explained that the piperine in black pepper helps to increase the absorption of curcumin by 2000% if you combine turmeric with black pepper. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) claims that it aids in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, anxiety, and inflammatory and oxidative disorders. Furthermore, it can also aid in the treatment of inflammation and muscular discomfort brought on by physical activity, leading to improved recuperation and performance in active individuals.

3. Have avocado with leafy greens

Dr Sethi suggested mixing avocado with your leafy greens. He revealed that if you combine the two, the healthy fats in avocado will help your body absorb more fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K from the greens, increasing their benefits.

4. Eat dark chocolate with almonds

The gut doctor revealed that if you pair dark chocolate with almonds, the healthy fats and vitamin E in almonds increase the absorption of flavonoids in chocolate, boosting its antioxidant power.
