| THE BEST FRUITS AND VEGETABLES BY COLOR |
Here’s a guide to eating the most nutritious fruits and vegetable based on their colors:
- RED: For the most nutrients, eat tomatoes, red peppers and strawberries instead of apples. They contain the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene.
- ORANGE and YELLOW: Choose carrots, winter squashes, cantaloupe, oranges and grapefruits more often than corn or bananas. These are especially rich in beta-carotene, which may reduce the risk of some cancers.
- PURPLE: Purple foods such as eggplant contain antioxidants that help prevent clot formation, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
- GREEN: Select dark lettuces, spinach, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, which are healthier than iceberg lettuce and green beans. The darker greens contain natural chemicals that boost production of cancer-fighting enzymes in your body.
- WHITE: Opt for cauliflower more often than potatoes, onions or mushrooms. Garlic is also good. It’s been credited with lowering cholesterol and fighting tumors.
- BLUE: Blueberries have high levels of antioxidants and the high-fiber content helps stabilize your blood sugar levels.
