Water
Helping to maximize physical performance, brain function, and energy levels, water is arguably the most important compound for a healthy body. Drinking water half an hour before you eat a meal can help you lose weight, as you will feel full and eat less.
Tomato Paste
As an excellent source of potassium, tomato paste contains more than 160 milligrams per tablespoon. It also provides smaller amounts of zinc, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and magnesium. Containing both vitamins A and C, tomato paste supports healthy vision, skin, bones, and connective tissues. Tomato paste is also an exceptional source of lycopene. This potent compound helps free your body of free radicals, rendering carcinogens harmless.
