Did you know that eating tomatoes is good for your skin? Something in the red colour of tomatoes protects the skin from the sun. Eating tomatoes regularly means you are less likely to get sunburn. This helps reduce the risk of skin cancer. It also means your skin does not wrinkle from the effects of the sun. So eating tomatoes can help your skin to stay young, even if you are out in the sun day in and day out.

Drinking cranberry juice is extremely good for your blood flow and heart. Something in the cranberry colour helps reduce fat build-up in your arteries and heart. Reducing these fats helps keep your heart fit and healthy.

And something in the colour of broccoli helps your body to fight off cancer. Broccoli is one of the best foods you can eat to keep your body’s immune system in balance. If you do not like broccoli, eat cauliflower, kohlrabi, cabbage or Brussels sprouts instead. You can also try swedes (also called rutabaga or yellow turnip), other types of turnip and mustard oil - all of which can help you in this way.
