Colors to Eat for Optimum Health
By Veronica Peterson, Editor, Care2 Healthy and Green Living
Want flawless skin, healthy bones, a youthful attitude and a mind like a steel trap? Say “bon voyage” to store bought vitamins–the answer may well be found in your fridge. “People may not realize a colorful diet is actually a heart-healthy and cancer-preventative diet,” says James Joseph, a neuroscientist and director of the Neuroscience Lab at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in a recent article. “Healthy arteries not only mean a healthy cardiovascular system but healthy gray matter as well. What’s good for your heart is also good for your brain.”

These fruits contain the phytochemical lycopene, which helps rid the body of free radicals that cause damage to the genes. Lycopene has been found to protect against prostate and breast cancer and may prevent heart and lung disease

You're right Milan K.! "Modern Food" is filled with so many things our bodies were never designed to eat. It really helps to read labels and go by the "if your can't pronounce it, don't eat it" motto. Good Luck!

To Joan S. you are so right with "Simply Orange" juice. I love it!! I cannot drink orange juice from concentrate because it gives me heart burn. The same brand makes a lemonade and a limeade, not from concentrate!! I try my best to avoid processed foods and drinks. You can feel a difference in your body when you eat healthy, more energy and a better attitude!!

I live in Illinois and I try to eat as much organics and home made as possible. There is one orange juice in the stores that is not from concentrate. It is called "Simply Orange". It is a bit more expensive but it is there for those with no time to squeeze they're own.
