Add Some Color to Your Diet


Studies show that variety provides cancer-fighting benefits. Grocery shoppers should bear in mind that good things come in colorful packages from Mother Nature. Dark or bright red, dark green, yellow, orange and blue or purple fruits and vegetables tend to offer the highest content of vitamins, antioxidants and other phytonutrients.

(Post note: Recent studies also indicate that no single fruit or vegetable can fight cancer alone, such as tomatoes in the fight against prostate cancer. But it is still thought that an all-around healthful diet high in colorful fruits and vegetables can help prevent damage to immune systems as people age.)
