it's more what you don't eat which is the issue.

I think I've had V8 juice only a couple of times in my entire life but i eat at least 4 different vegetables daily (most of these only when they are in season).....
broccoli
potato
capsicum
mushrooms
cabbage
brussel sprouts
asparagus
zucchini (courgettes)
spinach
sweet potato
pumpkin
eggplant (aubergine)
bok choy
beans
peas
corn

I suggest you eat brocolli or eggplants. These veggies are keys for you having a healthy life and tone up body.

Right now I am learning about nutrition for young children and one thing that is suggested is that you eat by color. This covers fruit as well.

Green: asparagus, avocados, broccoli, cabbage, peas, spinach, etc.
Red: cherries, plums, raspberries, red bell peppers, grapefruit, tomatoes, etc.
Orange/Yellow: apricots, carrots, lemons, oranges, pumpkins, yams, etc.
Blue/Purple: beets, blackberries, eggplant, prunes, etc.
White: apples, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, potatoes, etc.

Each color represents different nutrients. Green is vitamin A, C, and E and the green leafy ones are high in iron. Red is lycopene and carotenoids. Orange and yellow are beta-carotene and vitamin C. Blue and Purple are bioflavonoids and ellagic acid. White is organosulphidies. The deeper the color the higher in nutrients. You want a variety of color in you diet, like at least one from each color a day.
