EAT A RAINBOW
THAT POT OF GOLD'S IN THE PRODUCE SECTION
Fruits and vegetables can spice up a meal and your life. A colorful array help us maintain a healthy weight while protecting against heart disease and many cancers. Supplements help, but don't offer the same disease-fighting properties as fruit and vegetables. Colors reflect the nutritional; for example, yellow and orange fruits and veggies provide alpha and beta carotene, improving the immune system and vision. Look for squash, corn, mangoes, sweet potatoes, taro and carrots. Keep a bag of baby carrots on hand — you'll eat what is tasty and available. For more, go to www.healthyhawaii.com.
