No need to buy expensive imported berries. Simple Indian foods like garlic, tomatoes cooked in oil, turmeric, spinach, and broccoli are easily available in our local sabzi mandi and do the job perfectly.

With my busy office schedule, I just throw some broccoli in my dinner stir-fry and drink a cup of green tea at my desk. Adding garlic to daily cooking and eating a handful of walnuts is highly practical and takes zero extra time.

If I can get my antioxidant dose from garlic naan and a rich tomato curry, I am all set, haha! Honestly, tomatoes, berries, garlic, and citrus fruits are so delicious that incorporating them into regular meals is a total joy.

Whenever I visit my doctor at Fortis, I ask him directly about my diet. He recommended adding cruciferous veggies like cabbage and antioxidants like green tea, but said to always consult him before taking high-dose supplements.

Honestly, just adding a little turmeric and black pepper to my daily meals and snacking on citrus fruits makes me feel so much healthier. It is super simple and doesn't require any crazy lifestyle overhaul!

Eating garlic and berries is great, but please don't use diet as a replacement for screenings. If you have any unusual symptoms, get a proper medical checkup immediately to rule out any risks.

Alongside a clean diet of broccoli, berries, and green tea, keeping your active daily steps high is crucial. If your doctor allows, aim for a brisk 30-minute walk daily to keep your cellular health in peak condition.

Instead of buying costly kale or blueberries, stick to local spinach, tomatoes, and cabbage. This way you can save money for essential yearly health packages and screening tests which are far more important.
