A Colorful Plate!
At dinner tonight, look down at your food. Not at the kind of food. But at the color of the food. Knowing your foods colors is a good way to remember how nutritious they are.
Red foods like tomatoes will help cut the risk of heart disease, cancer and strengthen your immunity.
Orange and yellow foods can protect your skin and lungs. Purple, dark red and blue foods boost brain power, and also protect the heart. And white foods, like garlic, are good for the heart and can help against certain cancers.
