Food Synergy Food Synergy MatchMade Made ininHeaven Match Heaven

Turmeric and Black Pepper: The biopiperines increase absorption of curcumin up to 10 times.

Lemon and green tea: Lemon draws out the antioxidants, sorbet? Ice cream?

Broccoli and tomatoes: It’s a synergistic cancer-fighting effect we can all benefit from -- but for maximum effect, you’ve got to fix tomatoes and broccoli just right. The phytonutrients in tomatoes become more concentrated and bioavailable when tomatoes are cooked into a sauce or paste and are eaten with a little oil. Cook broccoli as little as possible, its the opposite.

Fish cooked with wine: Helps bring out the omegas into an absorbable form.

Apples and raspberries: More anti-oxidants released, this is great synergy.

Green Vegetables and citrus: Any iron sources such as green vegetables will have great synergy with vitamin c rich foods, spinach and orange salad or kale and with a good squeeze of lemon.

Fish (especially salmon) and garlic: Extra cholesterol lowering synergy.

Tomato and avocado: Antioxidant lycopene, found in tomatoes, is better-absorbed when eaten with healthy fats, such as the ones found in avocados or olive oil - guacamole!!

Spinach and beets: Iron and vit c again!

Grill all red meats with rosemary: Bitter herbs such as rosemary protect against the carcinogenic effects of mailard browning in meats.

Beef and carrot: Vitamin A in the carrots is best absorbed when bound to a protein. Plus the beef delivers an extra dose of zinc, which protects against weakening of the immune system.

Apples and red wine: Apples contain an anti-inflammatory flavonoid called quercetin, while red wine contains the flavonoid catechin. Together, they work to prevent blood clots and improve cardiovascular functioning.

Blueberry and grapes: Mixed together actually have a greater antioxidant response than one fruit eaten on its own.

Chicken and grapefruit: QC10 is a vital cell component and chicken is the predominant source of QC10. Eating grapefruit with chicken allows up to 50 percent higher cellular absorption of CoQ10.

Green tea and black pepper: Green tea already has a special antioxidant called EGCG, which is thought to boost metabolism and protect against cancer. But the key chemical in black pepper, known as piperine, helps EGCG work even more efficiently.

Fish, Meat and Bone Broth Our oily fish such as mackerel, salmon and sardines contain the highest levels of EPA and DHA. The body cannot produce these substances but needs them in order to function properly. Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, and they slow the growth of plaque in the arteries.

We no longer use Tuna!

Our chickens are free range living on a diet with no nasties. They are therefore a leaner cut and lower in fat than battery hens. We always drizzle our meat with booster oils as we serve.

We use very little beef because a staggering 51 percent or more of global greenhousegas emissions are caused by animal agriculture, predominantly beef according to a report published by the Worldwatch Institute.

We use Welsh pasteurised lamb for red meat eaters Ravenous broths are designed to comfort, clear sinus congestion and boost the immune system during the Winter months. They are boosted with collagen.

Our main boosters Maca: Full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, Maca has a positive effect on hormone balance and energy levels.

Ginseng: Provide an energy boost, lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reduce stress, promote relaxation, treat diabetes, and treat sexual dysfunction in men.

MCT oil: This oil also combats fungi, viruses and harmful bacteria MCT also help us think more clearly, improves mood and improves energy levels.

Collagen: A powerful supplement – Lubricates joints, promotes healthier and younger looking skin, reduces inflammation, supports hormone balance, improves digestion.

A Few more facts ...

Our ginger is home pickled as many commercial products contain colouring and preservatives.

We use honey and dates to sweeten our foods.

We use pink Himalayan salt and Malvern sea salt because they alkalize the body, balance blood sugars, eliminate mucus build up, increase energy and improve brain function.

We make our own coconut yoghurt as it has great antibacterial and antiviral activities, also associated with a reduction in bad cholesterol.

We use Goats milk and butter because it is easier to digest and has many essential minerals, vitamins and plenty of calcium. It also enhances iron and calcium absorption in the body.

We use unpasteurized apple cider vinegar because it contains beneficial bacteria.

We use lots of beets usually raw as they are full of phytonutrients.

We garnish with Goji Berry because they are protective of heart health and linked to a protective effect in some cancer. Source of Vit C, B12, A, iron, selenium and antioxidants.

We make our own activated nuts with synergetic ingredients. The soaking increases the nutrient value of the nuts along with breaking down the problematic compounds that help enhance their digestibility.

We make our own dehydrated Kale which we dehydrate for 12 hours in the Ravenous kitchen. To maximise nutritional value.
