I'll bet as you look around today, you'll see green everywhere. Green on your menu may be your key to healthful eating and disease prevention.
Phytochemicals are the full array of chemicals found naturally in plants.
These chemicals may explain why people with high intakes of plant foods have lower incidence of disease. Until researchers know the complete answer, start eating the green. Enjoy greens raw in salads or for snacks. Try cooked veggies plain, in casseroles, or on pasta. And even though they're not green, yellow and orange fruits and veggies may provide the same health benefit.
