AS THE New Year looms closer and we all start fiddling with resolutions, whether it's to eat better, move more, or simply to feel good in our own skin, one simple strategy is gaining momentum: food pairings.

Not the fancy, curated kind you'd expect at upscale restaurants, but practical combinations of everyday ingredients that can dramatically improve your health.

This buzzworthy topic recently found its way into the spotlight thanks to an Instagram reel by Dr Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist known for his no-nonsense approach to nutrition.

His video broke down accessible food pairings that boost nutrient absorption, stabilise energy levels and support overall wellness. It's not about overhauling your pantry, just tweaking how you combine the staples you already have.

Let's dive into these combinations and why they work, blending science with a sprinkle of inspiration to help you make health a little easier, no matter where you are in life.
