Answer to Question 2

For example, berries and salmon may both work together to reduce inflammation in the body. The berries contain antioxidants that reduce free radical formation that can lead to inflammation. The salmon provides omega-3 fatty acids that may also reduce inflammation.

Another combination could reduce LDL cholesterol such as olive oil and any green vegetable like asparagus or broccoli that supplies fiber.
