Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

When it comes to nutrition, ‘power foods’ are those with a high concentration of nutrients, such fibre and potassium. A growing number of fitness trainers advise their customers to include these items in their regular diets in order to boost muscle growth. Power foods can be incorporated into your diet in a variety of ways. Of course, careful preparation, the use of season - fresh items and identifying your preferred flavour among power meals are the keys to enjoying these dishes.

Even if you're not a gourmet cook, you may find some of the best power food combos in your own pantry. Onions and chickpeas are an excellent pairing. In order for the body to deliver oxygen to all of its numerous parts, it needs iron. The symptoms of an iron deficiency include anaemia, fatigue, mental fog and exhaustion.

Bananas and yoghurt are another popular power food pairing. After a long football game, this is the ideal post - game snack. Exercising reduces blood sugar by reducing the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. Yoghurt is rich in protein and bananas are rich in carbohydrates, both of which aid in refuelling and preventing muscular stiffness after a workout. Green tea is the best source of catechins, antioxidants that can protect cells from oxidative damage, in the beverage market. Adding a squeeze of lemon to green tea, say Purdue University researchers, increases the body's ability to absorb catechins. So, the next time you have friends around, serve them iced green tea with mint and lemon juice in a pitcher.
