Know any nutrition hacks?
I’m looking for a list of nutrition hacks. Things like combinations of food that hit all of the right protein, carb, and fat needs at once. Foods that help absorb the good things in other foods, etc. A couple examples:
- Brightly colored vegetables have cartenoids and flavenoids that help prevent cancer, heart trouble, strokes, etc.
- To absorb cartenoids in bright vegetables, eat with some oil.
- Above-ground portions of veggies have fiber, slow-release energy, and no fat.
- Whole grains, salt, lack of vitamin D all interfere with calcium absorption.
- Calcium needs magnesium to work right.
Et cetera. I’m positive that there are a bunch more that we all know about briefly before forgetting about them again. If anyone can point me to any other resources that talk about things like this, let me know!

Hey Buster! I met with this nutritionist about a year ago who was awesome and seemingly full of things like this. I could make an introduction if you’re interested.

My doctor has me taking Calcium pills that include Vitamin D because that helps absorb the calcium. Also, quinoa is an amazing food — a complete protein.
