Autumn brings with it a whole new batch of colorful, nutrient-dense, exciting options.
And as you and your family gear up to face cold and flu season, don’t forget about eating healthier foods to give your body’s immunity a much-needed boost. Antioxidants are the components of food that give it color and also protect your body from free radical damage. They help fight off cancer, infection and decrease inflammation in the body. Each color for fruits and vegetables has its own unique healthy properties, so the more colors you can add to your meals the better!
