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!
