10 food pairs to supercharge your diet

Consuming specific healthy foods together can pack an even bigger nutritional punch. Here are 10 foods pairs that will supercharge your diet
Slide 1 of 12

Two is better than one

Laurel and Hardy, Thelma and Louise, Brad and Angelina. Some pairs are just meant to be (although the Brangelina pairing may be up for debate). Various nutrients go well together, too. 
As a registered dietitian, I know combining certain foods can up their nutritional value, and help your body absorb and utilize all of their benefits more effectively. And research is revealing new pairings all the time. "It’s like adding 1 plus 1 and getting 4 instead of 2," says Elaine Magee, a registered dietitian and the author of Food Synergy. "The total is greater than the sum of the individual parts." Want to get more nutritional bang from your meals? Try out these 10 power-food combinations.

I'm not very smart, but I am looking at "10 food pairs to supercharge your diet". Can you tell me how one advances beyond Slide 1. There do not appear to be any buttons to advance to slide 2 & read the rest of the article???????

Favour yes, flavour no!

Are we talking about green beans like the photo or dry beans like is written in the article?

I guess Coney dogs and beer are out of favour . . .
