This study explains why taking supplements is far less effective than getting your nutrients from food. Isolated compounds simply cannot produce the same results as whole foods and possibly even certain whole foods combined.

An easy way to combine your vegetables is with vegetable juicing.

I wrote about the benefits of broccoli sprouts years ago, and now researchers are confirming that they provide you with even more healthy cancer-fighting benefits when combined with tomatoes.

Although both of these vegetables contain many healthy benefits, they might actually throw off your biochemistry if they don't fit in with your nutritional type. To give you an idea of this, I am a protein Metabolic Type and broccoli pushes my biochemistry in an unhealthy direction so it helps me to avoid it and that is what my body tells me to do.

However, the DIM found in broccoli is also in other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, which happens to be good for protein types.

So, it is very important to understand your body at a deeper level because if you were to eat broccoli and you were a protein type, the other effects of broccoli might push your metabolic biochemistry in the wrong direction and thus override the benefits of the DHT inhibition.

The best way to understand specifically what foods are ideal for your body in particular is to learn your metabolic type, which is explained in detail in my new book, Total Health Program. Properly eating for your particular nutritional type will lead to increased daily energy, improved emotional well being, a feeling of satisfaction and, of course, optimized health and weight so you live longer.

It is important to be aware of your tomato intake as they will adversely influence one's insulin levels, which can have significant negative influences on health.
