If You Want to Feel Your Best, Fill Your Plate with Color by Theresa Gilmore | Sep 17, 2019 | Acupuncture Phytonutrients give plant food that beautiful, radiant color as well as provide many protective properties. These healing compounds are helpful for blood sugar regulation, cholesterol, and blood pressure, to name a few. Aim to “eat the rainbow” each day by choosing a variety of fruits and vegetables from the different colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue-purple, and tan-white). Soups and salads are great ways to get lots of color in one meal! And remember, it is best if you have a varied diet, not eating the same foods at the same time every day. The body gets bored just like our mind does. FOOD MATTERS, REALLY!
