• I suggest at least one fruit daily from each of the citrus and berry families (use frozen berries in off-season), plus at least one serving each day from the carotene (carrots, dark leafy greens, tomatoes), brassica (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Brussels sprouts), and allium (garlic, onions, shallots, chives) families.

• almonds, dried fruit, and V8 Juice is an ideal pick-me-up and quite satisfying.
