It is a tough job, especially when you are the one trying to introduce the concept of a phytochemical index. I will not be swayed, increasing my family's phytochemical index has become something of an obsession for me ever since I heard the term. A low phytochemical index has been correlated with increased hypertension, depression and obesity. We have to eat even more vegetables to get our daily fix - wild vegetables are right on trend. In saying that, if I were to tell my teenagers to eat their vegetables, I would be simply ignored.
