Do One Thing: Add more color to your diet

I'm sure you've heard that you should be eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, in all different colors, for maximum health benefits; but do you know why? Those different color groups represent different groups of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, so in order to get as many different micronutrients as possible into your diet, it's important to vary the colors of the fruits and veggies you eat. If you're looking to branch out in this area but feel intimidated once you reach the produce aisle, this handy tool from Women's Health Magazine can help. It breaks down fruits and vegetables by color and then gives peak season and shopping & storage tips for specific examples within each color family. Check it out.
