3 Colors You Should Eat Every Day

Eating a colorful diet may be more important than you think. Why? Because vibrantly colored produce usually contains more antioxidants, which are great for keeping you healthy and are important for getting all the nutrients you need if you're trying to lose weight. Here are three colors you should definitely aim to fit into your diet:

1. Blue and purple: Foods like blueberries, figs, eggplant, plums and beets tend to promote brain and heart health. Plus, they just taste so good!

2. Red and pink: Cranberries, pomegranates, cherries, tomatoes and red apples—all of these foods can help promote both prostate and DNA health, along with a host of other health and weight-loss benefits.

3. Yellow and orange: If you want to maintain healthy eyes and skin and keep your immune system strong, these are the colors to choose. Start with oranges, cantaloupes, papayas, sweet potatoes, squash and corn to begin seeing the benefits.
