Tomatoes

                   



                                                          5.Tomatoes


Aside from being rich in vitamin C, tomatoes also contain 15 percent DV of vitamin A, 8 percent DV of potassium, and 7 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for women and 10 percent RDA for men. However, it's the lycopene found in tomatoes that really deliver a powerful kick of healthy antioxidants. One recent Harvard study indicated that men who consumed 10 servings of tomatoes a week can cut the risk of developing prostate cancer by a whopping 45 percent. So go heavy on the sauce the next time you order that pizza.

                                           6.Broccoli

According to the USDAs nutrient database, ounce for ounce, broccoli has more vitamin C than an orange and as much calcium as a glass of milk, One medium spear has three times more fiber than a slice of wheat bran bread. Broccoli also happens to be one of the richest sources of vitamin A among all vegetables. As if that wasn't enough, through its presence of strong anti-cancer agents like glucoraphanin, beta-carotene, selenium and other nutrients, broccoli is a natural wonder-drug for many types of cancer, including breast, prostrate, lung, colon, liver, and kidney.

                                                 8.Bananas

Bananas are one of our best sources of potassium, which is essential mineral for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function. The average banana co.ntains approximately 450 mg of potassium and only 1 mg of sodium, making it the perfect fruit to fight high blood pressure and protect against atherosclerosis. Along with helping to lower blood pressure, potassium prevents the weakening of the body's bones. The potassium found in bananas neutralizes the high amounts of sodium in one's diet, thus allowing for healthy amounts of calcium to remain within the body.
