The next time you sit down for a meal, check out the color of your plate. Not only does a mixture of colorful foods look appealing, you get more nutrients by eating fruits and vegetables that come in different hues.


Red Because they deliver melatonin, eat cherries before bed to improve sleep patterns. Red Bell Peppers feature lutein, a compound that promotes healthy vision. Lycopene gives tomatoes their signature red color and is an antioxidant that promotes prostate health.

Orange Carrots deliver vitamin A, which promotes vision. Carrots also support heart health. Give your immune system a boost with vitamin-C-rich cantaloupe. Sweet potatoes also have vitamin A, which helps with vision and skin health.

Yellow Corn is rich in beta-cryptoxanthin which helps maintain healthy lungs. Tropical pineapple delivers manganese, and essential nutrient that supports metabolism and defends against free radicals. The enzyme bromelain, also found in pineapple, aids digestion. Potassium-rich bananas promote cardiovascular health and help maintain healthy blood pressure.

Green Compounds in broccoli support healthy skin. Spinach features vitamin K, a nutrient that helps calcium bond to bones and slows cell breakdown. Citrus limes are high in vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system.

Blue & Purple Add purple cabbage into your salad – it has more vitamin C and antioxidant than its green cousin. Blueberries are one of the favorite “superfoods” that feature antioxidants and promote brain health. A natural cleanser, beets help flush toxins out of the body.

4. Apple: This fruit is a good source of vitamin C and is full of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Eat as a snack or use in salads and baked goods.
5. Sweet Potatoes: These fiber-filled spuds are very filling and a source of vitamins A and B6. Use them in both main and side dishes.

This is for all those folks who use price as an excuse not to eat healthy. You can get these items at ANY grocery store for cheap and they keep you satiated for much longer than processed meals due to the high nutritional content. When you tally up your monthly food bill this will be cheaper than McDonalds or Takeout. Guaranteed.

Enough excuses already America. Your waistline can’t afford it.

Yet another glaring reason why people need to realize that Conventional Medicine and the Doc don’t know what they are doing half the time.
