How can we get more phytonutrients in our diet?
The quick and simple response: Eat more vegetables, fruits and spices, or as Hermoni says, "Eat the rainbow." Sure, we all have our favorites in each of the categories, but when you branch out and ingest multiple different types of fruit and veggies in one sitting, you're more likely to receive the benefits more accurately. One diet that would be great to look into when it comes to upping your phytonutrient intake is the Mediterranean deit. Because it's so rich in fruits, veggies and spices, it possesses incredible benefits to your overall wellness and skin health.

Is there a certain way we should prepare fruits, vegetables and spices to get maximum benefits?

While straight up eating them is better than nothing, of course, most are actually oil soluble and allow you to receive the most beneficial parts of the food when they're prepared in oils. Hermoni gives the example of tomatoes. They'll be great for you if you cool them in an oil, but if you prefer your tomatoes raw, like in a salad, you can add olive oil or avocado for best results."
