Can eating brightly colored food really keep us healthy? Not only is colorful food the rainbow of life, but also the antidote to dreary health and disease according Dr. Daniel Nadeau, coauthor of "The Color Code." "Pigments in food are powerful antioxidants," he tells us. Later, Dr. Lisa learns from cutting-edge author and nutritionist Kim Dalzell that we are what we eat – especially when it comes to preventing and fighting cancer. And in this Health Corner, both a doctor and a psychologist stress that a sense of purpose may be the single most important tonic for our health. Then, Alex Boylan revisits chef Jeff Vigilla at the Aria in Miami's Ritz-Carlton where Jeff poaches a cornish hen flavored with Asian hints. Jill Repp reminds us that our kids' suggestions are valuable – let them help plan that much needed vacation! Plus, Florida Perry Smith tells us about the sexy upside of sweat.
