Phytochemicals are compounds unique to plant foods, and have natural components that can protect against diseases. Research has shown phytochemicals to possess enormous healing and disease-preventing properties because of their amazing ability to nourish and bolster the immune system.
The more phytochemical-rich foods we eat, the lower our risk of various types of chronic diseases, including cancer, coronary heart disease, dibetes and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
