Default NUTRITION


Some years ago, I read an article about the Mayan people.

Apparently, their diet consisted mainly of corn and beans.

The article went on to say that this was "the perfect nutritional
mix".

The beans supplied protein, and the corn supplied ????

Further, theri civilation started to slide when local land
wouldn't support corn, reducing an essential part of their nutrition.

I don't remember much more, but I'm intrigued with the idea of
"the perfect nutritional food mix".

Could anyone elaborate on this corn/bean mix ?
