Everyone knows that vegetable consumption is essential and that many vegetables have fantastic health benefits, but today I will talk about the "TNT" of vegetables.

Make salsa, chili, tea, or even pur yourself a glass of cayenne water once a day and you will be on your way to becomming super healthy thanks to this super food!
What do I do? I may not be a doctor, but I think that tea is extremely healthy, so brewing some nice green or white tea and stirring in a little cayenne should be perfect. Chili, however, prepared well can be a healthy dish, and can fit into a tight budget. My family may not have much money at all, but we can always enjoy a warm giant potful of good homemade chili, made of mostly all natural ingredients. Tea, by the way, is well worth the money and makes a fantastic substitute for coffee, but as I know, most people need their cup of joe in the morning!
