Benefits
Tomato is a good source of lycopene, an anticancer agent. It also has antioxidants that scavenge the free radicals in your body. It is good for your heart, bones, and skin (113).
Leek is rich in vitamin A, vitamin K, sodium, and proteins. It contains kaempferol that protects the blood vessels. Leeks also have antioxidant properties and protect against type II diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and obesity (114).
Cucumber helps to flush out toxins and rehydrates your cells (115).
