You know that vegetables are healthy to eat. Combine them with eggs for added protein and because eggs absorb carotenes. Sprinkle a little red pepper on your chicken the next time you prepare this healthy protein. The red pepper burns extra calories and helps to convert the food that you eat into energy that you can use.

Another good combination that you've probably heard of and have possibly tried is green tea and lemon juice. Make sure the juice is from a fresh lemon instead of what you get from a bottle. The tea is full of antioxidants, and lemon juice can speed up the digestive process of foods that you eat. Lemon juice also tends to curb your appetite, which means that you won't eat as much.

Salmon With Asparagus
