5 Colors of Phytonutrients

Eating a variety of vegetables may not be enough to keep you healthy. It is essential that you eat a variety of different color fruits and vegetables. The color of fruits and vegetables is indicative of the vitamins they contain, so eating primarily greens will mean that you are missing out of the nutrients that red, purple, white and yellow foods provide. Next time you are at the grocery store, make a conscious effort to choose a variety of different color fruits and vegetables.
