Continuing our series on Getting More Phytonutrients - from the handout "2015 The Institute for Functional Medicine"
"Eat the Rainbow of Colors
Instead of getting the full rainbow of color, you may be eating the standard processed food colors of brown, yellow, and white. For example, think of the typical breakfast menu- waffles, pancakes, ready-to-eat cereal, sausage, and eggs- which does not necessarily provide much color early in the day. however, if you had a fruit smoothie with blueberries, peaches, and raspberries, you'd have three colors of the seven colors of the rainbow first thing in the morning! Make it your goal to get the full seven colors every day with a variety of foods."
That is a pretty big challenge right there, worth working towards for sure!
