Eat a variety of fruit and vegetables both raw and cooked. You can just steam them in the microwave or stirfry from frozen which is just as good and ready cut so no fuss. Tomatoes are great (especially cooked e.g. pasta sauce). but not exclusively. Try get a good amount of leafy and solid greens in to the mix. Cruciferous…
