Two good reasons why you should count colour.
1 Brightly coloured foods tend to be those (red peppers, carrots, and spinach, for example) which are low in calories, so they naturally help contreoj your weight. Following the colour balance it's an easy way to create a healthy diet without using kitchen scales or nutrution and calory charts.
2 A wide range of colours in your diet means that you'll naturally get a good range of vitamins and minerals, plant chemicals and disease protection. Researchers have found it's often the compounds that give vegetables and fruits their vivid colour - important for keeping arteries healthy, boosting immunity, and fighting disease. They may be the key to anti-aging and a long life, and can also help you to look better by protecting the collagen in your skin.
