My mother used to dress the plate in full matching regalia; yellow squash is located next to green asparagus. Red and yellow peppers thrown around the salad added spectacular color. Now dear mother knew these foods were healthy, and she loved to decorate my plate with the colors of the season, but they know that healthy foods contain phytochemicals?

Phytochemicals are the active ingredients in plants, to them their color, taste, odor, and protection against plant diseases. Phytochemicals as a powerful antioxidant that our resistance to disease and immunity.

While most research focuses on the anti-carcinogenic effects of phytochemicals, the results are equally important to those who only want to ensure their immune system or help reverse the aging clock.

Scientists at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRC) rated 60 fruits and vegetables for the efficacy of antioxidants, which stabilize cells and help in the fight against the harmful effects of free radicals, the molecules that weaken the immune system. Antioxidants can help to cancer, heart disease and other degenerative at bay.

The top scoring fruit in the HNRC study was followed by strawberries, blueberries, plums, blackcurrants and boysenberries. The deeper the color, the better for you. Many of these antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, and naturally reduce blood cholesterol.

It is important to your diet with all the colors of the rainbow foods. Eat the blues, red, purple, orange, yellow and green.

Fresh or Frozen Produce?

But if you're lucky enough to make your own fruit or vegetables, or you can go directly from a farm - then that is where you find the nutritious fruits and vegetables!
