Follow on Google News | BodyLogicMD Physicians Proudly Support National Nutrition MonthDoctors Encourage Americans to Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
By: BodyLogicMD of Jacksonville “It’s no secret that fruits and vegetables are critical dietary components,” Not all fruits and vegetables are created equal. Certain colors indicate different nutrients. That’s why it’s important to ensure that your diet includes a balanced variety of different colored fruits and vegetables. Dr. Holoka breaks down the color scheme here: •Red – A reddish color indicates nutrients such as lycopene, ellagic acid, Quercetin and Hesperidin. These nutrients reduce the likelihood of prostate cancer, help regulate blood pressure and lower LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, many of these nutrients have been proven to slow the growth of tumors. •Orange and Yellow – Orange and yellow fruits and vegetables usually contain beta-carotenes, zeaxanthin and potassium. Nutrients such as these can reduce the effects of age-related macular degeneration, improve skin quality and promote strong and healthy bones. •Green – When fruits and vegetables are green, it often means that they’re rich in chlorophyll, fiber, lutein, calcium, folate and vitamin C. Many of these nutrients can regulate digestion time, support retinal health and vision, and boost the body’s immune system. •Blue and Purple – These contain nutrients such as resveratrol, flavonoids and other antioxidants. Antioxidants help to rid the body of harmful free radicals that cause oxidative stress. Additionally, many of these nutrients can assist in mineral absorption, fight inflammation and even act as anticarcinogens in the digestive tract by limiting the activity of cancer cells. •White – White fruits and vegetables contain beta-glucans, EGCG, SDG and lignans. These nutrients can activate natural killer B and T cells and balance hormone levels naturally, significantly reducing the risk of hormone-related cancers, such as breast cancer. “Fatty meats, processed sugars, and refined grains have taken a serious toll on our health and are contributing to diseases and conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and hypertension,” More about Dr. Holoka Dr. Jo Ann Holoka received her undergraduate from the University of Illinois in 1974.
