Many people are working out and adapting different eating habits to help them hit their goals. The keto diet, intermittent fasting, and traditional calorie deficit are very common.
While the number of calories that we consume is important, we also need to focus on the colors of fruits and vegetables.
Eating fruits and vegetables in various colors gives the body the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Red Phytonutrients
Watermelon, apples, red bell peppers, and tomatoes are some of the few foods that contain red phytonutrients. They help maintain memory functions, a healthy heart and circulation, and urinary tract health.
Yellow/Orange Phytonutrients
Carrots, oranges, lemons, and pumpkins contain yellow/orange phytonutrients that help maintain a healthy immune system and vision.
White Phytonutrients
Garlic, white onions, and pears contain white phytonutrients, which aid with healthy cholesterol levels and a healthy heart.
Green Phytonutrients
Spinach, broccoli, and kiwi contain green phytonutrients which maintain vision health and strong bones and teeth.
Purple Phytonutrients
Eggplant, purple carrots, blueberries, and grapes contain purple phytonutrients, which help aid healthy aging, urinary tract health, and memory functions.
Calculating your colors will help you reach your goal whether you want to lose, maintain weight or even have a well-balanced diet.
