Rainbow Rules For Nutrition
How can rainbows make your healthier? By using their colors to help guide your food choices. You see, produce of a particular pallette often contains similar nutritional benefits.
Fruits and veggies are always good for you, but you want to take a cue from nature and eat foods from a wide range of hues. So use nature's cues and learn to eat a color-coded diet to stay healthy and ward off disease.
Red
Red foods groups bring a burst of energy to any table. Pink grapefruit, tomatoes, watermelons, and red peppers tend to be packed with antioxidants like vitamin C and compounds like lycopene, a nutrient that helps control the free radicals that damage healthy cells.
