How Colorful is Your Plate?
October 23rd, 2008
I really don’t like a good majority of the eating advice I hear, simply because most of it is entirely too scientific and only leads to greater confusion among consumers. This confusion only serves to create an entire market of unsuspecting consumers who fall prey to food marketers using the latest headlines to convince us what they are pushing is actually good for us.
However, here’s some advice that’s so simple, it sounds like it came straight from Mom; eat as many colors as you can every day.
As Ali Hale over at diet-blog.com points out, “Each color is an indication of a key nutrients being present in the fruit or vegetable.” So, the more colors you eat, the more nutrients you’ll receive, and the less you’ll have to spend on vitamins to make up for what you’re not getting in your food.
