Many of the dishes humans have eaten for generations — such as rice and beans, or tomatoes drizzled with olive oil — have withstood the test of time not simply because the ingredients taste delicious together. Health experts believe we enjoy these food combinations because they’re more nutritious together than they are on their own. The concept is called “food synergy,” and it explains how two foods can be greater than the sum of their parts. Here are a few of the most powerful food synergies currently known to science.

I've been on the Happiness Diet before, it consisted of MDMA and lot's of water, garnished with a glow stick.
Seriously though, this makes sense. I am more aware lately of what does and what does not make me feel good after I eat it. If I have a banana and some peanut butter in the morning, I feel great. So, I've begun doing that nearly every morning. If I have a salad at lunch with some tofu, I feel great. Then at dinner, some rice and beans. Throughout the whole day, if I drink a lot of water it makes a big difference too. I'm still using that cook book, I made Nori rolls stuffed with rice noodles, peanut sauce and pickled ginger the other night. -Good stuff.
