To stay healthy it is ideal to have four servings of vegetables and fruits at every meal. The only solution is to go green and eating organically grown food as far as possible. Organic foods are free from highly toxic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, antibiotics, flavorings, sweeteners, additives and growth hormones which are commonly used in intensive farming.
