We have all heard that eating vegetables and fruits is good for our health. Nothing new there.

The problem is that many of us forget to purposely grab healthy vegetables, often opting instead for foods that are quick and easy to prepare, but are, admittedly, not so good for us.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the types of vegetables or fruit that most often appear to be protective against cancer are raw vegetables, followed by allium vegetables, carrots, green vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, and tomatoes.

From Liberty Hall:

The City of Tyler’s Liberty Hall will feature singer, songwriter and author David Berkeley   in concert on Friday, May 17 at 8 p.m. at 103 E. Erwin St.
