Eating in Color

Dieting and exercise can be a challenge for many people during their weight loss journey. It's one thing to lose the weight, but it's another thing to maintain that weight loss. In addition to taking a multivitamin supplement daily, here is a great tip to becoming healthy and staying there.

Get your daily dose of color!

Include each color of fruits and vegetables in your diet daily. Each color contains a different phytonutrient (plant concentrate) that targets specific health needs. By varying your fruits and veggies, you will be sure to include all the antioxidants your body needs to protect your cells and keep you healthy.

When trying to remember which fruits and vegetables to eat, think of a rainbow. Red, yellow, green, blue and purple, plus white. Each food color serves a purpose in your health.

red apples, tomatoes, strawberries, pomegranates, red raspberries, acerola cherries, cranberries, watermelon, grapefruit, sweet red peppers, radishes
