SWEET POTATO Just 1 cup of sweet potatoes contains 375% of your required daily intake of beta carotene. Carotenoids are potent antioxidants that support a healthy immune system, skin and eyes. While the word potato is in the name, sweet potatoes are not actually related to potatoes.

Place the tofu dices in the pan in a single layer and cook each side for about 2 minutes until they are golden. Once the tofu is cooked, place it in a bowl and set aside.

VEGETABLES 
vegetables are the best way to get your daily vitamins and minerals. The goal is to eat 5 servings or more per day (~2-3 cups). Start with the ones you like, and then try something new! Add vegetables to your favourite recipes, salads, or have them as an easy snack. One recent large study of over 65,000 people, found that for each serving of vegetables consumed, the risk of dying dropped 16%!
