6. Jalapenos<br />
Jalapenos can give a punch to a variety of cuisines,<br />
but they also provide<br />
powerful nutritional<br />
benefits. They contain<br />
capsaicin, which may<br />
help to neutralize<br />
some cancer-causing<br />
chemicals. Spice<br />
up your favorite<br />
dishes by adding<br />
a few bits of fresh<br />
jalapenos.<br />
8. Peas<br />
Peas contain phytochemicals, which<br />
can help to reduce the risk of cancer.<br />
They also provide<br />
a quick, cheap<br />
way to add more<br />
vegetables to your<br />
diet. Add frozen<br />
peas to your<br />
favorite soups,<br />
pasta sauces, or<br />
your salad.<br />
10. Watermelon<br />
A rich source of vitamins A<br />
and C, watermelon<br />
has more lycopene<br />
per serving than raw<br />
tomatoes. Along with<br />
simply slicing and<br />
eating watermelon, try<br />
making one of these<br />
savory watermelon<br />
dishes.<br />
7. Kale<br />
Filled with vitamins A and C, and<br />
calcium, kale is an excellent way<br />
to keep your body healthy and<br />
ward off free radicals in<br />
order to stop the spread<br />
of disease. Try adding<br />
kale to your favorite<br />
soups, pastas,<br />
salads, or<br />
breakfast<br />
hash.<br />
9. Sweet<br />
potatoes<br />
Sweet potatoes are an excellent<br />
source of fiber and beta-carotene.<br />
Eating the skin of a sweet potato<br />
can add 5,000 phytochemicals to<br />
your meal. Opt for sweet potatoes<br />
over starchy white potatoes for<br />
added health benefits<br />
and flavor.<br />
