Phytochemicals
Phyto or plant chemicals are substances in plants that are linked to good health and to the prevention of specific diseases. For example, lycopene contained in tomatoes is a carotenoid substance which gives tomatoes their red colour, and which studies suggest has anti-cancer properties. There are over 10,000 phytochemicals in tomatoes alone!! Phytochemicals are found only in fruits and vegetables, and juicing is a great way to get them.
