Colored Foods

Have you ever wondered what different colored foods can do for your body?
It's not really something most people think about but when reading an article recently about what celebrities do to keep themselves beautiful and saw something that sparked my interest in the topic of colored foods.
Mari ah Carey eats only Purple food three out of seven days a week to keep her skin looking fresh and colorful.
Purple food (such as: red/purple grapes and beets) can prevent the breakdown of collagen and slow the wasting of muscles. (However you may want to note that if you eat too many beets, your urine will turn bright pink.)Purle and Blue Foods are also really good for your blood and heart. They are good for prevention of heart disease and Blackberries, Blueberries, Dried plums/prunes, Raisins, Purple cabbage, Eggplant, Purple potatoes
Another color of food that is good to add color to your skin and hair, like purple food, is Orange food, specifically foods with keratin in them. But Orange and Yellow foods are good for more than just that. They are amazing foods to eat to strengthen and protect the lining of organs and other body tissues. Any peppers squash and fruits that are yellow or orange are great for these things.
The Color of food that is especially good for you is Green food. Not only are they full of fiber, water content, nutrients and vitamins, they are packed with the antioxidant known as Lutien which is good for your eyes, good for cancer prevention, and many other things. The Green foods you're going to want to look for are: Avocados, Green grapes, Kiwifruit, Broccoli, Green peppers, Spinach, Asparagus, Brussels sprouts, Green beans, Zucchini, Romaine Lettuce,Green peas, Snow peas. And if you started eating these foods, for 2 meals a day, I can't guarantee it, but I bet you would lose some weight. (See Clean Eating Article).

Now, while I was researching this, I found that there's a significant difference in whether the food is naturally that color versus whether it has artificially been colored and what effects that has.
