Health Benefits of the Fiery Chilli Health Tonic
Tomatoes
contain all four major carotenoids: alpha-andbeta-carotene, lutein and lycopene. These carotenoids may have individual benefits, but also have synergy as a group (that is, they interact to provide health benfits).
Honeydew Melon
are low in calories and high in water content. They provide an excellent source of vitamin C and are also a very good source of potassium, copper and B vitamins (including thiamine, niacin, B6 and pantothenic acid).
Carrot Juice
is thought to reduce the risks of many different types of cancer including skin and breast cancer, often thought to be due to the high amounts of beta carotene which changes to Vitamin A in the body.
Chillies
Contain high levels of vitamin C and vitamin A, both important immune system boosters, as well as come of the B vitamins and vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin that is an antioxidant. They are also thought to be cancer inhibitors.
