JessiccaDo Mind About the Colors of Your Foods!
May 7th 2009 05:06
We’ve been taught the rainbow has seven different colors: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The scientists have found out that human being’s daily diet is supposed to be in assorted colors as the rainbow did.
All of the vegetables and fruits contain “Photochemical”, which is an essential nutrient to against UV rays, eliminating those unstable “free radical” and inhibit the happening of various types of diseases!
So, let’s start playing with the colors…
Red – It contains lycopene, which can help to protect against prostate and breast cancers. Tomatoes, watermelon and red peppers are amongst the most common red-in-color foods!
Orange – It enriches with Alpha and Beta Carotene, where helps to keep our eyes and bone in healthy condition. It has the ability to eliminate the free radical as well. Carrots, Oranges, Papaya and Pumpkin are some of the foods that orange-in-color.
Yellow – It is the main sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, which can prevent age-related eyes-degeneration or Nyctalopia. Arthicoke, Corn and Lettuce are some of the Yellow-in-color foods.
Green – Some rare compounds, such as indoles and isothiocynates can be found on green-in-color foods, which is has the ability to clear the body toxins out from the body. Broccoli, Cauliflower and Kale are the good examples of green color foods.
Blue – Those foods, such as blackberries, blueberries and eggplants are containing many anthocyanins that can keep our brain function in great condition.
Purple (Violet) – A compound named “Proanthocyanins’ can only be found in purple foods, example like cranberries, grapes and raspberries.
Note: Actually, I have derived and separated the blue/purple into two color groups.
Therefore, live up your life with as many colorful foods as you can!
