Brain Busters - Fruits & Veggies

Eat a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables.  Consuming plenty of healthy vegetables and fruits helps prevent heart disease and strokes, diverticulitis, control your blood pressure, prevent some types of cancers, and guards against cataract and macular degeneration or vision loss.

Try to pick out at least two or three different colored fruits and vegetables every time you go to the grocery store.  Why not try something that you haven't tried before?  Chop up some turnips and add them to your veggie tray.  Or steam some beets and drizzle a little olive oil on top.  Your body will thank you!
