Nutritious Color Code: Health Story
Aired on Superstation WGN
Saturday, February 19 and April 16, 2005
Show 207
"Colorful food is not only delicious, but filled with nutrients. Pigments protect food from solar radiation and when we consume colorful fruits and vegetables, antioxidants are transferred to us," says Dr. Daniel A. Nadeau, coauthor of The Color Code. "For peak health, everyone should eat a four-color rainbow of food," Daniel adds. The four colors are red, yellow-orange, green and purple. Filled with antioxidants, just twelve red cherries a day can reduce the symptoms of arthritis. Kim Dalzell, nutritionist and author of Challenge Cancer and Win, says, "A Harvard study has shown tomatoes can prevent prostrate cancer by 32 percent with just ten servings per week." Yellow-orange fruits and vegetables are high in fiber and potassium, and lower cholesterol. Green vegetables such as broccoli fight cancer. And blue-purple fruits such as blueberries protect us from diseases like Alzheimer's. Kim Dalzell suggests nine colorful servings a day. Dr. Nadeau says, "Choose the most vibrant colors."
