FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PART 2
Today in our health, series part 2 of 2, I will continue to talk about nutrients and how beneficial it is to our body...we have learned that they are very essential to our health and that daily dose of the rainbow colors allow for our body to be strong and filled with proper nutrients. There are Five(5) particular colors that experts have grouped…You have Red, Purple, Green, White and Orange (Yellow)…Last week we looked at 2 colors, the green and also the orange…Today we will be looking at red, purple and white
I’m going to start off with the color red today because I feel real good lol and it’s very intriguing of all the colors to me. The color red gives you the nutrients that your body is going to love, they are delicious and they range from sweet strawberries to spicy red peppers, some other well known red products of nutrients consists of cherries, red apples, pomegranate, radishes and tomatoes to name a few. The health benefits of the color red in our daily nutrients are very important because it helps with Prostate health and DNA health…To all my male friends, this color is very very essential because we know how prevalent prostate cancer is getting and you need proper DNA health which makes your physical, psychological and inner awareness and self discovery works better.
The color purple I must mentioned moves a little into the blue range as well. Purple and blue fruits and vegetables are rich in color, flavor and most importantly nutrients. They support heart and brain health and provide excellent antioxidant protection. Some of the fruits and vegetables that we can consume are black currants, eggplant, plums, beets, blackberries (not the phone lol) blueberries and what I love the most grapes. The health benefits are great and they help with a lot of important functions that the body needs to perform properly. Some of the benefits include better cognitive health, hearth health; these nutrients even support arterial function and provides antioxidant protection…Still think that we don’t need to eat right, well think again my friends.
Last but not least we have the color white. You have to feel right, when you partake of the color white. White fruits and vegetables are savory favorites and a tasty way to support a healthy lifestyle. My uncle has a restaurant and he always tells me that Kwesi, to make customers enjoy their food the right way you have to properly season the food and he is always putting in a mixture of seasoning but he never leaves out his garlic and onions and they are a part of this group…Some others include pears, cauliflower, white kidney beans, horseradish and mushrooms..Some key health benefits is that they maintain healthy bones and we definitely needs those, cant do without our bones, they help with our circulatory health and also support our arterial function.
Well this concludes our series on living a healthy lifestyle through eating fruits and vegetables. I hope that we really taste the "rainbow" so that we may benefit properly through our daily diets..
