Here's what they said: A post shared by Cory Rodriguez (@healthwithcory) Just one of these vibrant veggies packs over 100 percent of your daily vitamin C requirement, which plays a crucial role in boosting iron absorption, reducing oxidative stress, and supporting collagen production. A simple egg a day provides all the biotin (vitamin B7) you need, which is essential for maintaining healthy hair and skin. These small fish are nutritional powerhouses. Eating two sardines every day gives you more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin B12 intake, which is vital for maintaining nerve function, supporting brain health and producing red blood cells. This humble root vegetable is rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. One sweet potato supplies over 100 percent of your daily vitamin A needs, which is crucial for maintaining healthy vision, skin, and immune function. Often underrated, mussels are an excellent source of manganese. A single ounce every day gives you more than 100 percent of your daily requirement. Manganese is a trace mineral essential for bone development and metabolic function. Add these to your salads or smoothies and you'll get over 100 percent of your vitamin E for the day. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that protects your cells, supports immune health, and contributes to glowing skin.

Eat smarter: 5 clever food hacks that supercharge your everyday meals by maximising nutritional benefits
Pairing certain foods, either with other ingredients or utilising simple kitchen hacks, can substantially enhance and amplify their nutritional value. Some small tweaks here and there will help you get more out of what's already on your plate. It's not only about eating well, but also about eating smart. With some tweaks, you can transform your meals into an absolute powerhouse, squeezing every bit of nutritional goodness. Dr Karan Ranjan and health coach Cory Rodriguez took to Instagram to share some unique food combinations: A post shared by Cory Rodriguez (@healthwithcory) These are the unique food hacks that Dr Karan Ranjan and health coach Cory Rodriguez shared: If you eat an apple, after you eat garlic, then the enzymes in the apple break down the sulphur compounds in the garlic, leaving you without garlic breath. If you cook a potato and let it cool down before eating it, you can increase its resistance, making it better for your gut and blood sugar control. If you chop up broccoli and let it sit out for 10 minutes before cooking, you can increase the cancer-fighting compound sulforaphane in the broccoli. If you store an unripe avocado next to bananas, the ethylene gas from the bananas will speed up the ripening process of the avocado. If you grate carrots before you eat them, then you absorb more of the skin-tightening antioxidant beta carotene. These cooking and food pairings (also food synergy) can amp up the nutritional benefits of everyday ingredients. They might seem surprising, but they are unique street-smart hacks that make your food work harder for you, giving extra nutrients without extra effort. So, how you combine, prep and even store your foods may help in unlocking new benefits that you didn't know existed before.
