Eat your veggies – they’re full of water and goodness
Vegetables are juicy, tasty and crunchy vitamin pills, and they fill you up because they contain lots of water.
Cucumbers (96 percent water)
Lettuce (95 percent water)
Green peppers (93 percent water)
Cabbage (93 percent water)
Asparagus (92 percent water)
Cauliflower (92 percent water)
Spinach (92 percent water)
Broccoli (91 percent water)
Beets (91 percent water)

You should aim to eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day. What’s a serving? As a visual cue, a serving is the amount you could hold in your cupped hand. It’s: * Half a cup of vegetables, cooked or raw
* One cup of raw leafy vegetables
* Three quarters of a cup of vegetable juice
* A medium apple, banana or orange
* Half a cup of chopped, cooked or canned fruit
* Three quarters of a cup of fruit juice

Eat your sprouts
A study in the medical journal the Lancet reported that eating vegetables from the cabbage family reduces the risk of lung cancer for people with a certain gene which puts them at greater risk of getting the disease. It’s believed that around half the population have this particular gene.

It seems that vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and sprouts are rich in chemicals called isothiocyanates, which strongly protect against lung cancer, so eat some sprouts today.

Today, clean out the fridge and pantry. Toss out all unhealthy food choices, like cream, butter, chocolate, and cakes
