Combo #2: Oatmeal and Orange Juice
A study from the Antioxidants Research Lab at the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that drinking vitamin C-rich orange juice while eating a bowl of real oatmeal (steer clear of processed ones) cleans your arteries and prevents heart attacks with two times as much efficacy than if you were to ingest either breakfast staple alone.
Why is that so? The organic compounds which are found in both oatmeal and orange juice, called phenols, stabilize your LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or so-called “bad” cholesterol) when they are consumed together.
