Eat Fresh, Organic
and Colorful.

Colorful, fresh produce is an essential part of any diet whose goal is optimal health.

Fresh, raw, fruits and vegetables, especially the most colorful ones, contain loads of disease-fighting compounds. And since most diseases are primarily the consequence of poor lifestyle and dietary choices, it’s excitng to know that we have the option to make healthy choices that prevent most common diseases before they even strike.

By fortifying our diet with plenty of fresh, colorful produce, we can prevent many diseases by keeping our immune system strong and functional.

The best way to do this is with a diet of fresh produce that covers the full spectrum of brightly hued colors. Colorful produce of almost every kind …from fresh picked apples to cool green kiwis, bright red strawberries, and zesty, ripe oranges is loaded with disease fighters. Many of them are found in the pigments themselves.

Consider:

1. The natural pigments that makes tomatoes red may help ward off prostate cancer. A Harvard study found that 10 servings of tomato products a week reduced the risk of aggressive tumors by nearly half.

2. The crimson in sour cherries may alleviate arthritis pain. Researchers in Michigan found sour cherries to be 10 times more effective than aspirin.

3. The yellow in corn may protect your eyesight. Repeated studies have found that it helps prevent macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people over 65.

4. The blue in bilberries, a close relative of blueberries, appears to enhance night vision. During World War II, the Royal Air Force fed bilberry jam to British pilots to aid night missions.

5. Perhaps most intriguing of all, the indigo pigments in blueberries may stave off the natural mental decline that occurs as we age.
