Why your body will thank you.

Aubergines and courgettes are non-starchy vegetables, which may help decrease the risk of developing breast cancer.

Tomatoes are rich in the carotenoid lycopene. Carotenoids are substances found in fruits and vegetables that are responsible for their bright colours. They have also been linked with a reduced breast cancer risk, especially when you eat lots of them. Lycopene is fat-soluble, so olive oil will help you absorb it better.
