diet info on the powerhouse

Sadly, the majority of people just do not eat enough fruits and vegetables. A lot of research have been carried out on these powerhouse fruits and vegetables and suggested that people would get the most disease fighting benefits if they opt to make them the main choice in their diet. Powerhouse fruits and vegetables are very colorful and tend to have higher levels of vitamins like folic acid and vitamin c, and phyto-chemicals which are beta-carotene and flavanoids.

Phyto-chemicals is the plant pigment which gives out the different colors in fruits and vegetables. Phyto-chemicals has a natural bioactive compound and when combine with nutrients would help to slow the aging process and reduce the risk of many chronic or lifestyle diseases.

As not all fruits and vegetables are created equal, hence it is important to eat in variety of at least two servings of fruits and two servings of vegetables everyday. The best way to keep track of which fruits and vegetables are better choices, is to identify them by their colors.

Here are some of the powerhouse fruits and vegetables :

Orange/Yellow : Carrot, papaya, pumpkin, mango, bananas, orange, jackfruit, maize, cantaloupe,

Green : All dark green leafy vegetables example spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts, water cress, kiwifruit, cucumber, green grapes or asparagus

White : cauliflower, cabbage, radish, turnip, bean sprouts,

Red : tomato, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, red grapes, watermelon, red peppers, wolfderries, red dates,
