Taste the rainbow

The vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables do more than add visual appeal to a drab dinner. Natural pigments in produce, called phytochemicals, keep your body healthy too. Scientists are still learning about the wide range of phytochemicals in nature, so don’t expect to get these helpers from a pill. Instead, eat a colorful diet filled with reds, yellows, oranges and greens. For instance, salad greens offer a wide variety of phytochemicals, so be sure to enjoy a variety of types. Watercress adds peppery notes to salad and baby spinach tastes great anytime.
