Fall Colors: Dark Green, Red + Orange

Dark green, red and orange are not only the colors to have in your closet they are also to have on your plate. If you want to load up on healthy superfoods, then you should know that the natural color of foods represent the phytochemicals that are beneficial and important to your health. For example, important antioxidants that keep our hearts pumping and our brains functioning can be found in blue, purple and deep red foods such as eggplants and cranberries. But pay attention to these other colors too:

DARK GREEN: Spinach, chard, kale, and other rich, leafy greens help clear toxins from our bodies.

RED and ORANGE: Beets, pomegranates, winter squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots all help to keep your immune system strong.
