Phytochemicals and a healthy diet

There is mounting evidence that eating a well-rounded diet, consisting of several servings of fruits and vegetables every day, can reduce the effects of aging, and help to prevent diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. The chemicals that occur naturally in plants, such as fruits and vegetables, are called phytochemicals. Your job in this WebQuest is to learn all about the phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables, and the benefits of eating these foods as part of a balanced diet.
