How many colors did you eat today?

Published by Lynn under Food and nutrition

We all know we’re supposed to eat lots of fruits and veggies, right? But did you know that the color of the foods you eat has a big impact on your health? That’s because different colors of foods contain various phytochemicals and antioxidants - beneficial chemicals produced by plants that give us a huge health benefit.

Here’s a wonderful video that beautifully showcases the variety of colors of foods available to us. Caution:  do NOT watch this if you’re hungry!
