If you're concerned about the things you eat, you've probably heard of phytonutrients. I know, it's a mouthfull :)
I ran across this very informative about phytonutrients and how they can prevent diseases today. From the article, here is a short snippet about what phytonutrients are:
they’re found in fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, nuts, sprouts, and seeds. A single fruit or vegetable may contain more than 100 types of healing phytonutrients that basically make up the immune system of the plant.

Let’s explore the phytonutrient families and find out how you can include more of them in your diet.
