Food Challange: Taste the Rainbow

Here is my first food challenge, and it's pretty simple. Try to get as many colors of food on your plate throughout the day. I have a saying at work- the richer it is in color, the better it is for you. Each color group provides a different nutritional benefit. 

Red: lycopene and antioxidants  

Orange: beta-carotene, immune health

Yellowish Orange: vitamin C, detox

Dark Green: folate, healthy cell building

Green: Indoles, luten, detox

Whitish Green: allyl sulfates, cancer fighting

Blue: Anthocyanins, antioxidants

Purple: reservator

Brown: fiber, bowel regulation
