January 7, 2008 - Nutrition tip: Color is GOOD
Happy New Year! I hope that you enjoyed the holidays and that ‘08 is off to a strong start for you.
As we look to keep our nutrition on point, here is a tip from Competitor texas health and fitness magazine:
Half of every meal should have a rainbow of colorful fruits and vegetables, which have been shown to be loaded with antioxidants that help protect our immune cells from harmful oxygen molecules called free radicals and ultimately protect against disease. Norwegian and American scientists recently complied a list of the foods with the highest antioxidant content per serving. The list included blackberries, strawberries, artichokes, cranberries, raspberries, blueberries and grape juice.**
Now that you have the facts, DO SOMETHIN’!
