Greetings to you,

There are an incredible amount of health benefits from eating plant nutrients, also known as phytonutrients.  These are the special fruit and vegetable colors that are the source of their power to improve and boost our health.

Regarding red colored fruits, a study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that the pomegranate reduces cholesterol and improves heart health.

The red pigment in tomatoes, known as lycopene, has been shown in studies from the Journal of Nutrition to help protect against heart disease, lower cholesterol, and reduce inflammation for a stronger immune system.

Greens strengthen the eyes and support the bones. According to the University of Illinois, broccoli supports bones with its high content of vitamin K and calcium.

Carrots, pumpkins and yams contain orange pigments that are rich in vitamin A, a nutrient known to boost immune function and prevent infectious diseases.

This news on the power of vegetable colors is shared by Nutrition Breakthroughs, a provider of natural health articles and beneficial natural remedies since 2001. They provide effective natural sleep aids and natural joint and pain relief products.
